Abstract: | Educational researchers working with young children face ethical issues when researching the talk and interactions of young
children. Issues around the competence of children to participate in research pose challenges to educational researchers and
to the young participants and their families, within what are seen as increasingly risky and regulated research environments.
This paper examines some of these issues in light of recent sociological perspectives that account for children as competent
practitioners of their social worlds. Drawing on research investigating the governance of the lives of young children in Australia,
we examine the rights of children to be both seen and heard as competent research participants. These sociological directions
afford opportunities to reconsider the ethical issues around research with young children. Such an approach breaks new ground
in early childhood education research. |
