RESEARCH METHODOLOGY OPEN TO CHILDREN - ALEKSANDRA ZALEWSKA-KRÓLAK

The book Research Methodology Open to Children is a proposal for the conscious and reflective inclusion of children in social research. It is an invitation to search for methods and techniques that will allow the children's voice to be expressed, but also to be heard. This publication is also an admission that there are parts of the children's world to which the adult researcher has limited access. The openness of the proposed methodology also means that it is not only aimed at the children's research group. The techniques and tools developed within it can be used for research on other groups, for example, people with disabilities or with high sensitivity. Many of the proposed tricks can go into a metaphorical toolbox of the researcher and be ready for use when needed.
