Recording Children's Attitudes: Developing an Online Survey. Sage Research Methods Cases Part 1
Paula Devine; Katrina Lloyd
Sage Research Methods Cases
Over the years, researchers from different disciplines have used a wide range of research methods to assess the views of children, especially qualitative methods such as focus groups and small group discussions. Large-scale quantitative surveys are much less common, even though they are a valuable way of comparing data from across different age groups and countries and over time. This case study describes how a pilot survey was carried out in Northern Ireland in June 2008 to test the feasibility of running a large-scale quantitative research with children. This methodology was unique for two reasons: first, "all" Primary 7 children (aged 10 and 11 years) were eligible to take part, and second, the Internet was used to record children's attitudes, which has not been done on this scale before. In this case study, we discuss the methodology used within the pilot study and evaluate the use of the Internet for carrying out survey research with children.
