Doing Research with Children: A Practical Guide

by Anne D. Greig, Jayne Taylor, Tommy MacKay

`The precise way in which the authors take the reader through the processes of doing research is helpful to anyone embarking on research with children, so EPs in training, who have chosen children as their subjects for research, would find this book helpful. Practising EPs are recommended to borrow a copy from their localuUniversity library when considering a child-centered research project' - Educational Psychology

This book provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to undertaking a research project with children.

Divided into three sections, the first introduces the main theories and approaches in doing research with children. In the second part, the different frameworks and techniques for conducting both qualitative and quantitative research with children are outlined. The final section develops an important underlying theme of the book - the unique nature of children as research subjects - by introducing special ethical issues raised in research with children.

This book is great! You will find useful and well-explained information properly divide into thematic chapters. The book covers many aspects of doing research with children, from theory to practice without forgetting how complicated it is to work with children in real life. You will find examples of real-life situations and scenarios that are very useful for reflection. A book like this can not cover the most technical aspects, therefore the authors have also included quite a lot of literature references for further study.

I definitely recommend this book to any university student in this field.
