ECED 407 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7.4: Digital Pictures, Media Play
Document Summary
From a methodological point of view, this method comes near to the storycrafting methods (see. Karlsson, 1998), where children willingly tell stories of their own choice. These are then written down by the adults. However, in this study children"s storytelling was part of their social interaction and other activities in class. As shown by van deusen-phillips et al. (2001), children"s stories are not only presented with spoken language, but also by activities, gestures, and interaction. In this study, we focus on how children express their agency and participation in a process of creating their own digital media stories in an early childhood education context. Media production is considered as two connected, growing phenomena: ownership and participation. They emerged first in the interpretation phase and after children familiarized themselves with the subject. Their impact grew and during the process, strong participation and strong ownership behaviors were identified.
