This Third Edition of Doing Research with Children is practical introduction to the process of designing, doing and writing up research with children and young people. At the centre is a commitment to engaging with children and young people as active research participants rather than as passive subjects. In the new edition, you′ll find up to date information on the fast-changing political and ethical debates around research with children and young people as well as guidance on how to carry out research yourself.
Divided into three sections, the new edition covers:
-the main theories and approaches of research with children and young people
-expanded guidance on research ethics
-techniques for conducting both qualitative and quantitative research
-more on analysing your research
-a brand new chapter on communicating your research findings.
This is a must-have guide for students and practitioners who are engaging in research with children and young people.
′This is a much needed, important and thorough book on doing research with (rather than to) children. Such research requires very careful consideration, thinking and planning - all of which will be helped directly by this book.
The authors bring together different professional perspectives, and offer very practical help and guidance, with clear examples. Built upon evidence, theory and most importantly, direct experience, this updated book will be of value to anyone thinking about research with children, and particularly those carrying out such research projects for the first time′ -

′The authors are well qualified to set out the political and ethical issues regarding research with children and young people, arguing that it is a process done ′with′ and not done ′to′ them. This book is value for money, being useful for educational research up to Level 7 (Master’s Degree) across all educational sectors, early years to Further and Higher Education′ -- Nick Morgan-Baker
