“…What do our poems mean to them, and why should they care? Cahnmann-Taylor (2018) proposed four principles that may serve as a useful guide for arts-based research practice: (a) public good, (b) ethical good, (c) aesthetic good, and (d) scientific good. Public good means that researchers should explore topics with complexity for more multifaceted understanding and clearly articulate the relevance of their subjectivity to the community and larger audience.…”

“…Public good means that researchers should explore topics with complexity for more multifaceted understanding and clearly articulate the relevance of their subjectivity to the community and larger audience. Ethical good requires arts-based researchers to review the principles of sound, ethical practice when other (non)human agents are involved, such as considering “human subjects’ voluntary and informed consent, as well as the risks and benefits of others’ participation” (Cahnmann-Taylor, 2018, p. 250, emphasis in original). Aesthetic good is relevant to the researchers’ “mastery of technical skills in the arts (e.g., brushstroke, meter, dialogue, etc.…”

“…Considering the audience for poetic inquiry might consists of scholarly researchers, art critics, research participants, community members, and the general public, it is important for poet-researchers to decide whom to write to most sincerely. Inspired by Cahnmann-Taylor’s (2018) four guiding principles, I would like to introduce three major groups of potential audiences who would greatly influence the evaluation of my poems.…”

“…First of all, the audiences I write to most sincerely are my dissertation committee and scholarly researchers in arts-based inquiries in education, because this is a significant high-stakes project for me to pursue my doctoral degree and the entry to academia. For this group of audiences, they mainly require ethical good and scientific good in Cahnmann-Taylor’s (2018) four principles. The evaluation criteria of my research poems should be consistent with the criteria for evaluating the quality of qualitative research, such as the eight “big-tent” criteria proposed by Tracy (2010): (a) worthy topic, (b) rich rigor, (c) sincerity, (d) credibility, (e) resonance, (f) significant contribution, (g) ethics, and (h) meaningful coherence.…”

Through presenting a series of poetry findings from a larger poetic ethnographic study on the lived experience of 11 international graduate student first-time mothers’ learning of the “language” of motherhood during their journey of pregnancy, birth, and early years of motherhood, this article reflects on the uncontrolled nature of poetry writing in an ethnographic study and discusses the long-lasting concerns on the quality, qualification, and criteria for evaluation associated with poetic inquiry and arts-based research in general. I aim to provide methodological insights for the use and evaluation of poetic inquiry, as well as other forms of arts-based research in academia.

“…For Cahnmann-Taylor and Siegesmund (2018), arts-based research:when well done, communicates educational findings in new, impactful and more widely accessible ways. The arts have much more to offer the educational researcher as a means to make our thinking robust, fresher, and more public, rendering the richness and complexity of the observed world.…”

Exploring the place of arts-based approaches in early childhood education research

Defined broadly as the use of art forms -music, drama, music, painting, storying and so on -to create privileged insight into educational policies and practices, Arts-Based Educational Research [ABER] techniques have started to have some, albeit limited, purchase on the mainstream of educational enquiry; there is less evidence, however, of their use in early childhood research. This article critically outlines some chief characteristics of an ABER approach, its claim to legitimacy in the currency of qualitative research practice and the issues which presently both drive and challenge it. An example from our own work is given, and the essay concludes with a prospectus of critical issues, questions and exhortations. Research and the art of 'the possible'Our purpose in framing this Special Issue is to draw attention to some of the uses of arts-based methods that are being made in the context of young children's lives. While arts-based educational research (ABER) enjoys growing popularity -particularly in the United States -it is less strong in relation to arts-based early childhood research. Our recent trawl across a wide range of publications in 2017-2018 revealed only a smattering of studies which attached both descriptors ABER and Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). 1 It was for this reason -in an attempt to flush out the interest we believed was there! -that we proposed a Special Issue of Journal of Early Childhood Research (JECR). The response generated, in addition to the papers featured here, takes accounts of some otherwise wonderful and innovative children's art, dance, drama, music and storying projects in settings, of using and promoting the arts with young children, many of which will see publication in the JECR in due course, but few used the arts as a methodological approach essential to their research methodologies. And while some used the arts -poetry, drawings, model making -as a means of generating data then used by researchers to promote (for example) children's talk, few attached the descriptor Arts-Based Research. What this tells us about the use of ABER methods in the early childhood sector -or indeed about the readership and potential authorship of the journal -warrants further
