Citations in the corpus

• research with children: methodological issues and innovative techniques (2010, unknown): “It has been argued that the particular internal images of childhood that researchers hold will inform their choice of methods, ethical practice, analysis, and interpretation of data (O’Kane, 2000; Mayall, 2000; Punch, 2002a; Christensen and Prout, 2002).”
• We Can Decide What to Play! Children's Perception of Quality in an Icelandic Playschool (2005, methodology): “These relatively recent developments have resulted in a shift toward recognizing children as important participants in research, and some researchers now talk about research with children instead of research on children (Corsaro & Molinari, 2000; Mayall, 2000; O’Kane, 2000).”
• ‘You Need to Know How to Play Safe’: Children's Experiences of Starting School (2005, background): “One possible strategy for both recognising these differences and seeking to empower children in these situations is to engage in research conversations with children, rather than structured or formal interviews (Mayall, 2000).”
• Children's Gendered and Non-Gendered Play in Natural Spaces (2023, background): “I explained to the children that I needed their support to gain knowledge about their play activities (cf. Mayall 2000).”
• A classmate in distress: schoolchildren as bystanders and their reasons for how they act (2007, background): “In the field study reported here the researcher had consciously worked on the field relations and the adult-child power issues by taking what sometimes is called the “least-adult role” (Mandell, 1991; Mayall, 2000) or the role of “out-of-the-ordinary adults” (Tammivaara & Enright, 1986).”
• Researching with children: insights from the Starting School Research Project (2005, background): “The aim of these conversations has been ‘to hand over the agenda to children, so that they can control the pace and direction of the conversation, raising and exploring topics’ (Mayall, 2000, p. 133).”
• Playschool in pictures: children’s photographs as a research method (2005, background): “Hence, children are seen as capable and knowledgeable experts on their own lives, possessing knowledge, perspective and interest that is best gained by interaction with them (Langsted, 1994; Dahl, 1995; Mayall, 2000; Clark & Moss, 2001).”
