Course description
Children and Youth Culture: Research Methods
Class
Dr. Sigal Barak Brandes
The course introduces the key concepts of social sciences qualitative research methods, as well as research tools employed by them, while focusing on four points:
• Introduction of features unique to qualitative (as opposed to quantitative) research approaches
• Review of data collection and processing methods
• Questions of ethics
• Interviews with children (practical experience)
These are to be examined in light of issues unique to children and youth participation in academic research, such as children-adults hierarchy, children’s will to please adults and the option of having children partake in the actual research, to cite but few.
