The Use of Pedagogical Documentation and Artistic Languages in Research with Young Children

The chapter offers practical examples of what pedagogical documentation could entail when used in a research project. In this chapter we show how pedagogical documentation can be used as a methodology with arts-informed methods as a play based approach for participatory research with children. Thus, this chapter aims to explore: - the nature of pedagogical documentation for capturing the educational experiences of children; - the nature of pedagogical documentation as a methodology for participatory research; - the use of arts in research as a method of involving children in their meaning-making that words sometimes cannot achieve.
