Early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a growing field of research across the globe. This book examines the methodological decisions made by researchers working in diverse early childhood (EC) contexts. All contributions are research-based and viewed from a researcher’s perspective, with each chap¬ter exploring the journey of the researcher and capturing their decision-making processes in EC research. Reflections of researchers working across a variety of domains help to improve and deepen understanding of the thinking, forces and actors that shape decisions made during the research process. Contributions critically unpack how these decisions are made and by whom during the course of research, exploring key questions such as:
What are the ethical issues arising during EC research?
Which research traditions and methodologies are selected and why?
How are research subjects perceived and positioned within different research contexts?
What tensions or opportunities arise between different ways of working across EC research?
Exploring the decision-making processes of research is a core feature of this book. Practical examples are provided of how researchers respond in real time to external and exogenous factors, such as pandemic. This book further exam¬ines the power differentials between researchers and those with whom they are working, and how researchers can respond to these differentials by forming meaningful collaborations and partnerships.
Our authors have highlighted the rich variety of methodologies available and how important it is that during the decision-making process researchers select the most appropriate fit to their research question/s. This book also high¬lights how research is not linear, even though it is planned that way; rather, it is recursive and iterative. And as we shall also see, illustrations of decision-making processes render the reflexivity of researchers visible, providing insight into their internal challenges and dilemmas.
