ECED 407 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8.2: Child Contact Centre, Participatory Action Research
Document Summary
The aim of this study was to include the voice of the child"" in an evaluation of a group of services for children and families. One of the catalysts for bringing together a range of visual, physical and verbal tools was to tune into"" the diverse ways of communication adopted by young children. This led to the inclusion of cameras as a means of enabling young children to express themselves in a medium that was enjoyable for the children and had status in an adult world (clark and moss 2001). The second study, spaces to play (clark 2005; clark and moss 2005) adapted the mosaic approach for involving young children in the redevelopment of an outdoor play area. The aim of the third study, living spaces" (clark 2008, 2010), was to place young children"s experiences of their early childhood environment at the centre of plans for designing new spaces.
