Abstract
The Reality of Research with Children and Young People illustrates the process of carrying out research through thirteen `research stories'. Each story includes a piece of published research, accompanied by a commentary from the author of the research explaining: \n \n· the origins of the research \n· how research questions were formed \n· factors influencing the choice of methodology and data collection techniques \n \n· problems that arose and how these were dealt with \n· personal reflections on the project. \n \nThe research examples included in this volume have been carefully selected to demonstrate the reality of researching with children from pre-school age to late adolescence. They reflect the different traditions and variety of methods of collecting data, including interview, evaluation, ethnography, experiment, survey, case study, questionnaire, longitudinal, and standardised assessment.
