參與式兒童研究:一種兒童研究的新范式

摘要： 參與式兒童研究,是兒童以研究主體、合作研究者、研究伙伴身份,參與到對自身生活、經(jīng)歷之研究的一種研究范式。相對于以往以兒童為對象的兒童研究,兒童在參與式兒童研究中扮演著更為積極的角色,能夠發(fā)出自己的聲音并得到重視和回應(yīng),體現(xiàn)出在兒童研究中對兒童參與權(quán)的肯定,對于兒童作為有能力的社會(huì)行動(dòng)者或社會(huì)主體的認(rèn)同。對于參與式兒童研究而言,兒童的角色轉(zhuǎn)變是核心,整合傳統(tǒng)研究方法和"參與式工具"的研究方法創(chuàng)新是關(guān)鍵,而兒童與成人之間廣泛存在的權(quán)力不平衡,則始終挑戰(zhàn)著參與式兒童研究的實(shí)施。
Participatory children research is the study in which children participate to explore their own lives and experience as research subject, co-researcher or research partner. Compared to the traditional children research, children play more active roles rather than an object, and have their voice heard, valued and responded in participatory children research, which enable the participatory right of children, and the image of children as capable social actor and subject accepted in children research. The core of participatory children research is transforming children's role; it is key to innovating research method, integrating traditional research method and "participatory instruments." However, the imbalanced power relationship between children and adult exists extensively and constantly challenges participatory children research.
