ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the unique contributions that video can make to research in early childhood, particularly outside of the classroom or setting. These include providing a multimodal record of the child’s view of the world and their interactions with it. The chapter explores how video can be viewed and listened to repeatedly to allow a more nuanced analysis, both by an individual or research team. Like any digital resource, it can be saved, shared and edited to produce still images or shorter videos for a range of dissemination activities. The chapter details technical, organisational and ethical challenges in using videos, particularly the issue of informed consent and the use of video in disseminating findings.
