Chapter overview:
This chapter discusses the research design and methodology used in the study of children’s drawings featured in this book. Embracing a participatory research approach with children, we explore the use of drawing as a tool for data collection. We discuss researching in home and school settings, including observation, video recording, ethical considerations, permissions, continuous consent, assent, anonymity, and ownership. The chapter concludes by explaining how we organised and analysed the children’s drawings.
