Learning materials > Case studies
There are 19 Listening to Children case studies, each one specially commissioned to support understanding of one or more of the course topics. As a course participant, you will have full access to these case studies via the Listening to Children course website. The case studies are used as the basis for a variety of classroom and online activities during the course, and a number of the case study authors are also involved in running the classroom sessions.
Format of the case studies
Case study authors were asked to address the following eight issues in describing their research:
- Aims and objectives
- Methods and techniques of data collection
- Ethical issues
- Whether the research design and techniques used would have been any different if or when used with adults rather than children
- Sensitive topics
- Consideration given to differences between children
- Methods of analysis
- Dissemination
