“…Additionally, a small plastic jar with dried mealworms was used in combination with the picture of the mealworms. Combining focus groups with visual prompts is often recommend when interacting with young children (Hilppö, Lipponen, Kumpulainen, & Rajala, 2017; Pimlott‐Wilson, 2012). The use of pictures in combination with the smiley figures encouraged interactivity with the children and facilitated communication, particularly apparent with the children who had limited abilities to speak Swedish, but is was also a way of keeping them focused on the task.…”

Interest in eating insects has increased in Western countries; however, substantial challenges exist regarding acceptability and cultural ideas. Researchers have widely studied the acceptance of eating insects, but few studies have focused on children's thoughts. The aim of this study is to explore young children's perceptions about eating insects and how this insight might help understanding of ways to increase the willingness to eat insects. Three focus group interviews were conducted with children aged 4–5 years in a public preschool in Sweden. Each focus group consisted of four to five children; in total 13 (eight girls and five boys) participated. In exploring their perceptions of eating insects, the children were balancing between fantasy and reality, and between curiosity and fear, showing many, sometimes contradictory, emotions and relationships to insects as food. The children expressed a clear normative picture of what was considered food, illustrated by ideas about insects being something that are not allowed to eat. They were also concerned about whether the insect was dead before being eaten. Using children's fantasy and curiosity for new things, experimenting with insect‐based products and ingredients in well‐known dishes and contexts, and discussing different ways of eating them, acceptance of eating insects might increase.

“…Consequently, the concept of artefacts, both objective and subjective, being employed simultaneously is largely accepted, everything may come together and be incorporated into an “ensemble of social, material and historical forces” (Hilppö et al . 2017, 361).…”

Previous theoretical frameworks used to research and explain creative design processes tend to privilege individual expression and not address the context in which the process occurs. This is problematic due to the ways in which creative activities are embedded in and shaped by socio‐cultural and historic contexts. In this article we focus on the ways in which cultural historic activity theory (CHAT) and its analytical activity systems can be used to reveal creative processes in context. We draw on the tools and concepts of CHAT and data from a study of visual communication design (VCD) students and lecturers situated within a transnational higher education (TNHE) context at a university in China. An analytical framework was constructed to research practices used in creative design process learning. The dynamic nature of CHAT offers design process research methods a set of analytical tools to capture the powerful parts played by artifacts and interactions within specific sociocultural and historic learning contexts.

“…Whether technological tools such as cameras are used in the data collection, children may not want the researcher to see everything they take. Therefore, children should be allowed to delete the obtained data (Eckhoff, 2015;Hilppö et al, 2017;Pyle, 2013). Another point that Darbyshire, MacDougall, and Schiller (2005) highlights the utilization of more than one method to investigate children's experiences.…”

Erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocuklarla katılımcı araştırmalarda karşılaşılabilecek etik sorunlar

Bu çalışmada erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocuklarla katılımcı araştırmaların farklı aşamalarında, araştırmacılar tarafından karşılaşılabilecek sorunlar ve dikkat edilmesi gereken noktalar tartışılmıştır. Tartışma dört başlık etrafında şekillendirilmiştir: (1) Erişim kazanma ve onam süreci; (2) Araştırmanın gerçekleştirildiği ortam; (3) Araştırmanın tasarlanması ve veri toplama süreci; (4) Verilerin analizi ve yaygınlaştırılması. Araştırmacıların sahip olduğu çocuk algısı ve çocuğu kavramsallaştırma şekli, onları araştırma sürecine ne kadar dahil edeceklerini etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada ilgili konu tartışılırken araştırmacı tarafından çocukların aktif üreticiler olarak görüldüğü sosyal yapılandırmacı bakış açısı benimsenmiştir. Çalışmanın, çocuklarla çalışacak araştırmacılara yol göstereceği düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca çalışma kapsamında paylaşılan bilgi ve örnek araştırmalar, araştırmacılara net bir yön vermek yerine içgörü sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Çocuk hakları ve çocuklarla kurulan ilişkilere dikkat edilerek ve sosyal yapılandırmacı bakış açısı benimsenerek etik anlayışların geliştirilmeye devam edileceği düşünülmektedir.
