Evaluation with Children
We're just embarking on a research project to explore how children, especially very young children, can give feedback on their experience of performance without that feedback having to be mediated by adults. We had our second brainstorming conversation today and realised what a very very steep learning curve we're on. If you have any thoughts or experiences in relation to all this, we'd love to hear more...
