Hatzigianni, Maria; Stevenson, Michael; Bower, Matt; Falloon, Garry; Forbes, Anne – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2020
This paper will focus on children's views on their making and design capabilities. There is a paucity of research investigating learning in makerspaces particularly for younger children. Theoretical ideas based on constructionism (Papert), Vygotsky (socio-constructivism) and Dewey's pragmatic, inquiry based and reflective learning underpin this…

Larkin, Kevin; Jorgensen, Robyn – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
Accessing children's feelings and attitudes towards mathematics is a challenging proposition since methods for data collection may be fraught in terms of bias and power relations. This paper explores a method using iPads and a video diary technique not dissimilar to the "Big Brother" room with which many children are familiar. We…
