Abstract:
Involving children in research is not only advisable but mandatory from both a child rights and an academic perspective. Indeed, recent research has shown that children\'s participation enriches knowledge and contributes to an in-depth understanding of complex issues, even in sensitive questions such as gender-based violence, leading to improved policy and practice interventions. This article analyses the participation of children both as experts and informants in a research project aimed at creating an early detection model of gender violence applicable in schools. The aims of the study are as follows: i) to analyse the participation strategies used in the research conducted with children in the field of gender-based violence from an ethical and methodological point of view, focusing on strengths and weaknesses, and to identify improvements to be implemented; ii) to collect the experiences of children in this regard. Six expert groups were created specifically for this research project in different locations around Catalonia (Spain). A total of 45 children aged 10-16 participated in all stages of the research, including instrument design (children\'s questionnaire), discussion of results, building outcomes (model) and dissemination activities (final conference). The questionnaire was answered by a representative sample of 3664 schoolchildren attending 106 schools in Catalonia. This article discusses methodological questions, analysing the benefits and obstacles encountered in working with children, including power relationships, children\'s voices, engagement, protection, recognitions of capacities and remuneration.
摘要:
从儿童权利和学术角度来看,让儿童参与研究不仅是可取的,而且是强制性的。的确,最近的研究表明,儿童的参与丰富了知识,有助于深入理解复杂的问题,即使是在诸如基于性别的暴力之类的敏感问题上,导致改进的政策和实践干预措施。本文分析了儿童作为专家和线人参与一项研究项目的情况,该项目旨在创建适用于学校的性别暴力早期检测模型。该研究的目的如下:i)从道德和方法论的角度分析在基于性别的暴力领域对儿童进行的研究中使用的参与策略,专注于优势和劣势,并确定要实施的改进措施;ii)收集儿童在这方面的经验。在加泰罗尼亚(西班牙)周围的不同地点,专门为此研究项目创建了六个专家组。共有45名年龄在10-16岁的儿童参与了研究的各个阶段,包括仪器设计(儿童问卷),讨论结果,建立成果(模型)和传播活动(最终会议)。问卷由加泰罗尼亚106所学校的3664名学童的代表性样本回答。本文讨论了方法论问题,分析与儿童一起工作的好处和障碍,包括权力关系,儿童的声音,订婚,保护,对能力和报酬的认可。
