Children and young people’s participation in decision-making has substantially increased in the last 3 decades; although, their participation in research has been more problematic due to traditional views that exclude them from the realm of knowledge generation. This article critically reflects on the way that 12 children and young people engaged as co-researchers in an intergenerational research project that explored the perspectives of children and young people during the COVID-19 outbreak. Drawing upon the experiences of these child researchers, the author discusses the methodological and ethical complexities of their engagement—which is already a disputed topic—in the context of the global health crisis characterized by lockdowns, isolation, and social distancing. The author outlines the strategic role that the child researchers had in reaching their peers and collecting relevant data, which would not have been possible without them, due to the circumstances of the pandemic. Furthermore, it is argued the need to rethink the role of children and young people as partners in research, especially in times of crises, and to embrace the epistemological position that they are able to deliver quality research results. The generation of collective knowledge is intertwined with relations, situations, and contexts, and together they influence each other, making the research project dynamic and unconceivable without the child researchers.

COVID-19时期与儿童的共同研究:改变叙事方法以产生知识

在过去的30年中,儿童和年轻人对决策的参与大大增加;但是,由于传统观点使他们无法参与知识的产生,因此他们参与研究的问题更大。这篇文章批判性地反映了12名儿童和青年人作为共同研究者参与一项代际研究项目的方式,该项目探讨了COVID-19爆发期间儿童和青年人的观点。在这些儿童研究人员的经验的基础上,作者讨论了他们参与的方法和伦理上的复杂性(这已经是一个有争议的话题),其背景是全球健康危机,其特点是封锁,孤立和与社会隔离。作者概述了儿童研究人员在与同龄人接触并收集相关数据方面的战略作用,由于大流行的情况,如果没有他们,这是不可能的。此外,有人认为有必要重新考虑儿童和年轻人在研究中(尤其是在危机时期)在研究中的合作伙伴的作用,并接受他们能够提供高质量研究成果的认识论立场。集体知识的产生与关系,情境和情境交织在一起,并且它们相互影响,使得没有儿童研究人员的情况下,该研究项目充满活力且难以想象。有人认为有必要重新考虑儿童和年轻人在研究中的合作伙伴的作用,尤其是在危机时期,并应接受他们能够提供高质量研究成果的认识论立场。集体知识的产生与关系,情境和情境交织在一起,并且它们相互影响,使得没有儿童研究人员的情况下,该研究项目充满活力且难以想象。有人认为有必要重新考虑儿童和年轻人在研究中的合作伙伴的作用,特别是在危机时期,并接受认识论者的立场,即他们能够提供高质量的研究成果。集体知识的产生与关系,情境和情境交织在一起,并且它们相互影响,使得没有儿童研究人员的情况下,该研究项目充满活力且难以想象。
