“…This paper concurs with other studies that argue that when researching with children it is often appropriate to use a mixture of methods and techniques in order to engage their interest and enable them to express their views in a flexible manner (Boyden and Ennew, 1997;Greene and Hogan, 2005). In particular, using task-based activities in both the individual and group interviews is an attempt to minimise unequal power relations between the adult researcher and child participants (Punch, 2002b;Robinson and Kellett, 2004).…”

The paper explores the methodological implications and some of the intergenerational and intra-generational power relations involved when carrying out research with children at home. It draws on data from individual and group interviews about children's experiences of sibling relationships and birth order. The study was conducted with 90 children between the ages of 5 and 17, from 30 families of mixed socio-economic backgrounds in central Scotland with three siblings within this age range. The paper discusses some task-based interview techniques as well as the advantages and disadvantages of interviewing siblings individually and in groups within the home setting.

“…Others have also identified various problems with conventional research methods, such as interviewing, when used with children, which has created space and a rationale to experiment with new methods of inquiry (Waterman et al, 2000;Punch, 2002). As a result, the sociology of childhood now provides an interesting sandbox of methods that organizational researchers might employ or adapt (Greene and Hogan, 2005 developed play-full, child-led research methods, as when the street children they were studying created their own radio presentation to discuss 'street life' issues.…”

Children: Their Place in Organization Studies

This paper argues that children and childhood constitute a ‘white space’ in organization studies, which should now be explored, mapped and analysed. Rather than being separate, children and organization are deeply implicated in one another, which provides a rich basis for theoretical inquiry. The paper draws on Spivak’s concept of the subaltern and on actor-network theory to articulate how and where organization studies might critically engage with, and find a place for, children and childhood. It frames such an inquiry around six potential research trajectories: epistemological, methodological, ontological, temporal, political and reflexive.

“…Greene and Hogan (2005) and Tisdall, Davis, and Gallagher (2009, p.43) support a mixed-methods approach when researching 'the social worlds of children' through their own eyes in order to gain a greater depth of data and understanding. The complementarity, mixed-methods approach in this study uses quantitative and qualitative methods together to effectively address different aspects of the research in a holistic way (Brannen, 1992, cited in Lobe et al, 2007.…”

Children and the internet: An exploration of Year 5 pupils’ online experiences and perceptions of risk

The internet is becoming increasingly integral to children's lives. Consequently, it is vital that children are educated in how to protect themselves online and how to become responsible online users. This action research study addresses significant gaps in existing research by exploring children's online experiences, alongside their understandings of risk, from their own perspective, in order to inform a personalised and relevant internet safety curriculum within the research setting. The study utilises a mixed-methods approach, combining a comprehensive quantitative survey with a subsequent qualitative group interview with a sample of 14 participants. Findings suggest that, despite being proficient online users with an awareness of what constitutes online risk, many children largely fail to apply this knowledge to their own online practices. The study demonstrates the importance of educators and schools understanding children's online activities in order to respond to their needs and concerns effectively. Based on the research findings, it is recommended that similar research is actioned across primary schools, and that schools appoint pupils as internet safety ambassadors to provide educators with insights into children's current online activities, alongside providing peer guidance and support from a pupil perspective. These recommendations could be significant for the online safety education of children and young people in the wider context.
