- Description
- In this final chapter, we revisit the aims and scope of the Global Childhoods project. Seeking to gain insights into the lifeworlds of young children aged 9 and 10 years of age, we drew on multiple research methods to inform us about their everyday experiences in three global cities. We began by asking all participants to complete a survey in which they reported what they did outside of school and their thoughts about various aspects of their schooling experience. We then focussed on observing what went on in classrooms to understand their actual lived experiences in schools. We added to this by asking the children four provocations about what they looked forward to at school, how they evaluated their performance to date, what they learnt over a course of a week in their lives and then what they thought they might do when they left school. Finally, we collected more intimate data with individual children and their family by documenting in detail one day after school and locating it in the totality of their week. Through such data sets, our goal was to gain a deeper and fuller understanding of how children’s orientations to educational success have been shaped.
