Stokes, T. (2020). Using participatory methods with young children; Reflections on emergent “Ethically Important Moments” in school-based research. Irish Educational Studies, 39(3), 375–387.
This article provides a practical exploration of ethical dilemmas that arise in real-time during participatory research with young children. The concept of "ethically important moments" is highly relevant for the assignment's focus on developing and applying ethical questions to research studies. It also emphasizes the importance of reflexivity in dealing with unexpected ethical challenges, which is a critical skill to understand and apply when conducting or evaluating research with children. Since participatory research methods are increasingly common, this article offers valuable insights that can apply broadly to various research contexts involving children.
