29.033 - Picture This: Critical Examination of Visual Methodologies for Exploring Young Children Making Meaning From Their Daily Experiences
Fri, April 17, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Sheraton, Floor: Second Level, ErieSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This proposal is a collaboratively developed paper session, critically exploring the risks and rewards of using visual methodologies to examine how children in the transition to school make meaning from their experiences. Members of this international group of researchers in Finland, Italy, the UK and Canada use visual methods in sociocultural context to interrogate children’s understanding of their experiences in transition to school. Videotaping one "day in the life" of participants to observe home and school transactions, photo-elicitations, and elicited self-portraits are all analyzed in the context of participants' (including families, teachers and other community members') reflections. The multi-vocality of these exchanges affords researcher-viewings in diverse locations, potentiating a deep understanding of individual participants’ daily transitional transactions.
