Abstract
The aim of the study
The aim of the study is to find an optimal research methodology that is both
beneficial to qualitative researchers (regarding data quality and interviewee
participation) and research participants (regarding enjoyment of the research
process and means of expression). This takes the form of a comparison
assessing the use of the visual method of photo-elicitation in qualitative
interviews. Firstly, photo-elicitation interviews and standard qualitative interviews
as two different methodologies are compared. In this study the research subjects
are children, and as noted in Chapter 3, photo-elicitation is particularly applicable
to young research subjects, as it tends to break down the communication barriers
