ABSTRACT

This study engaged children as research allies throughout the research process from developing research questions to authorship. Our approach recognises children’s right to participation under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child by developing a form of inquiry that invited children’s critique of adult knowledge and authority. The project was fully co-constructed with children, with adults who guided them through planning, analysis and authorship. We discuss our reflections on the children’s lived experience of Allyship itself, with the issues raised by children in focus groups and interviews illuminating this methodological approach. We conclude that children see and accept adult failings and seek to contribute to social worlds, and that these priorities have been enacted in their lived experience of this project. Our approach provides a platform for further endeavours in Allyship with children in the fields of qualitative psychology and childhood studies.

摘要

这项研究在从制定研究问题到作者身份的整个研究过程中都让儿童成为研究伙伴。我们的方法通过开发一种邀请儿童批评成人知识和权威的调查形式，承认儿童根据《联合国儿童权利公约》的参与权。该项目完全与儿童共同构建，成人指导他们进行规划、分析和创作。我们讨论了我们对儿童在 Allyship 本身的生活经历的反思，儿童在焦点小组和访谈中提出的问题阐明了这种方法论方法。我们得出的结论是，孩子们看到并接受了成人的失败，并寻求为社会世界做出贡献，并且这些优先事项已经在他们对这个项目的生活体验中体现出来。
