This book examines the methodological decisions made by researchers working in early childhood contexts. Viewed from a researcher’s perspective, each chapter explores the journey of the researcher, capturing their decision-making processes in early childhood research. Through themes such as the politics of ethics and how different cultural norms shape research in different localities, Decisions and Dilemmas of Research Methods in Early Childhood Education explores key questions such as: What are the ethical issues arising during early childhood research? Which research traditions and methodologies prevail and why? How are research subjects perceived and positioned within different research contexts? What interdisciplinary tensions or opportunities arise between different ways of working across early childhood research? The book critically unpacks how these decisions are made and by whom during the course of research. Each chapter includes reflections of researchers working across disciplines such as education, health and social work to understand the thinking, forces and actors that shape decisions made during the research process. This is essential reading for researchers working in early childhood contexts in fields such as social work, health, education, criminology, psychology and more.

Despite widespread calls for evidence-based improvement in education, until recently, little has been known about using research and other types of evidence to inform teaching and learning of young children, particularly in early childhood education and care settings, and the first years of formal schooling.Considering the importance of evidence-informed practice in education, this book offers a timely and innovative exploration of the use of evidence in early years and how this translates to practice. Through rich case studies and reflections on a portfolio of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method studies, the authors investigate tensions and constructive collaborative possibilities between research, practice, and policy. Chapters intersect with components of the Q Project’s Quality Use of Research Evidence (QURE) Framework to provide a lens through which to examine and support evidence-informed practice in a range of diverse communities. The book highlights how evidence can be meaningfully integrated into early years provision to inform policy, programmes and practice.This book will appeal to researchers, early years professionals, and policy-makers, and provide directions for how research and other evidence can better inform practice from local to international settings.

This book reports on innovative interdisciplinary research in the field of cultural studies. The study spans the early twentieth to twenty-first centuries and fills a gap in our understanding of how girls’ and women’s religious identity is shaped by maternal and institutional relations. The unique research focuses on the stories of thirteen groups of Australian mothers and daughters, including the maternal genealogy of the editor of the book. Extended conversations conducted twenty years apart provide a situated approach to locating the everyday practices of women, while the oral storytelling presents a rich portrayal of how these girls and women view themselves and their relationship as mothers and daughters. The book introduces the key themes of education, work and life transitions as they intersect with generational change and continuity, gender and religion, and the non-linear transitional stories are told across the life-course examining how Catholic pasts shaped, and continue to shape, the participants’ lives. Adopting a multi-methodological approach to research drawing on photographs, memorabilia passed among mothers and daughters, journal entries and letters, it describes how women’s lives are lived in different spaces and negotiated through diverse material and symbolic dimensions.
