Following the Lead of the Child: Pedagogical Considerations to Support Responsive Approaches to Play-Inspired and Playful Arts-Informed Research with Young Immigrant Children
Nicole Jamison
International Journal of Early Years Education, v32 n4 p833-851 2024
Despite the proliferation of play-based and arts-informed research, an under-explored area is using both with young immigrant children to hear from them about their distinctive experiences and complexities. This paper draws on an arts-informed and play-based case study with two young immigrant children in Canada to highlight specific data collection approaches, responsive materials, and play and playful art-making pedagogies. The case study found that the use of video recordings, pedagogical improvisations, close observations, and tailored responses enhanced relational co-constructions between the children and the researcher. Responsive materials enhanced the children's sharing of their thinking, interpretations, and communication and were effective when relevant to the child and acted as a prompt. Establishing a shared studio space for the children and the researcher was important for supporting interwoven opportunities for play and artistic representations. Illustrative examples highlight how these established considerations can be tailored to young immigrant children to help them explore and negotiate complexities including identity and culture, socially and culturally constructed roles, family and community supports, and pre-and post-migration experiences.
