"This article reports on the use of video to collect dynamic visual data in education research and proposes that using visual technologies to collect data can give new insights into classroom interaction. Video data unveil how young children use the full range of material and bodily resources available to them to make and express meaning, forcing a reconsideration of Vygotskian accounts of the relationship between thought and language by producing grounded evidence for a pluralistic interpretation of the construction and negotiation of meaning. In addition to challenging language-biased approaches to classroom interaction, using video to collect data also forces a reexamination of established methodological practices. Drawing on data from ESRC-funded ethnographic video case studies of 3-year-old children communicating at home and in a preschool playgroup, this article discusses methodological and ethical dilemmas encountered in the collection and transcription, or representation, of dynamic visual data, arguing that visual data gives insights into aspects of communicative behaviour pre"

"Who is watching? Thinking ethically about observing children Just how much of a child's life is private? Who has the right to monitor? What judgements are being formed; and what decisions are being made on their behalf? Every day, educators observe, record conversations and capture images of children for analysis and reflection, to guide their curriculum decisions and inform their understanding. While every step is taken to ensure children's confidentiality and privacy, how often is the perspective of the child considered? This article outlines the ethical tensions that arise for early childhood education and care settings, as they manage recording observations of children with multiple requests from students, researchers and visitors to engage with and observe children."
