在世界各地，越来越多的儿童担任研究人员和评价人员（联合国儿童基金会，2006年）。例如，在英国，每个政府部门都致力于让儿童参与政策和服务的规划、执行和评价。本章考虑了儿童研究人员提出的问题，通过对国际文献的回顾来说明。将讨论三个主要领域：研究过程的阶段、参与的程度以及青年研究人员参与的研究方法的类型。将“被研究”的成年人视为数据的共同研究者和共同生产者，平等地参与分析的想法已经得到广泛认可。这个想法通常被认为是尊重和共享控制，以及解决研究关系中的权力不平衡。从效率的角度来看，它也可以是合理的，因为它为更广泛的收集方法和更全面的数据理解开辟了道路。当儿童在成年人或多或少的帮助下进行研究时，也会出现同样的优势。
Increasingly across the world, children are working as researchers and evaluators (UNICEF 2006). In Britain, for example, every Government department is committed to involving children in planning, delivery and evaluation of policies and services. This chapter considers matters raised by child researchers, illustrated through a review of an international literature. Three main areas will be discussed: the stages of the research process, the levels of participation, and the types of research methods in which young researchers are involved. The idea of seeing the ‘researched’ adult as a co-researcher and co-producer of data, equally involved in the analysis, is already widely acknowledged. This idea is usually argued for in terms of respect and shared control, and of addressing power imbalances in the research relationship. It can also be justified in terms of efficiency, as opening the way to a broader range of collection methods and fuller understanding of the data. The same advantages can occur when children conduct research with more or less help from adults.
