Abstract

Often used in ways that confuse their meanings, the terms ‘methodology’ and ‘method’ are critical in any discussion of researching with children. This chapter explores distinctions between method and methodology and the impact of these distinctions on ethical research with children. Using examples of researching with children in Australia and Iceland, we problematize discussion of the two concepts and examine the impact of decisions about methodologies on methods used with children.
