This innovative book presents a new framework for researchers in the field of physical education and youth sport. By examining the complex interplay between values, voice and ethics within the research process, it showcases how the CREATE Principles for Research Design can facilitate meaningful research with/for children and young people.

Adopting a design thinking approach – and underpinned by principles of youth voice – the book rethinks educational research with children and young people and offers a new framework for the field. With contributions from leading international experts, this book exemplifies how the CREATE Principles for Research Design can be applied in practice across a range of diverse populations and contexts through ten in-depth case studies. Reflecting contemporary issues in the field, such as gender, race and ethnicity, disability and social disadvantage, these case studies take the reader through the process of applying the CREATE principles as a reflective lens through which to consider research design with/for youth.

Designed to support aspiring and experienced researchers alike, this book equips readers with valuable ideas and tools to enhance their research praxis and shape meaningful and relevant research with/for children and young people.

Design Thinking for Digital Well-being empowers teacher educators/student teachers to teach pupils how to critically embrace technology in their lives. It provides a pedagogical framework for teaching young people to flourish in a digital society and enjoy digital well-being. In so doing, it establishes the need for digital literacy, digital fluency and values fluency within the education system as a whole.

With a unique focus on empathy-centric design thinking, and using a case study informed educational model of technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK), this expert guide:

• Explores the challenges that pupils (and teachers) face balancing their digital lives

• Supports the ‘wired generation’ in navigating the cyber sphere and understanding how their data are used

• Acknowledges the necessity of supporting the digital well-being of pupils (and teachers) to create a healthy and successful learning environment

• Promotes the effective use of technology to enhance teaching and learning

• Aids professionals in ensuring pupils enjoy digital literacy, digital fluency, values fluency and safety online

Design Thinking for Digital Well-being deals with the core concepts of digital literacy, digital fluency and values fluency that are essential for anyone in the teaching profession. It is a source of support and guidance for all those involved in exploring the challenges of using technology to promote digital well-being.
