Summary |
Few if any of the several books on methodological issues with child participants explore how factors such as a fieldworker's personal attributes (e.g., gender and ethnicity) affect the process with children. Holmes (psychology, Monmouth U.) lays out an overview for the study of children in the early chapters, discussing basic methodology and considering the school as the primary site for studying children. In later chapters, she closely examines how a researcher's personal attributes can and do affect the fieldwork process with children. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR. |
