This comprehensive book delves into the methodological choices made by researchers operating in early childhood contexts. From a researcher's standpoint, each chapter takes readers on a journey, showcasing the decision-making processes involved in early childhood research.

Through the exploration of themes like the politics of ethics and the influence of cultural norms on research in different locales, Decisions and Dilemmas of Research Methods in Early Childhood Education addresses critical questions such as: What ethical challenges arise during early childhood research? Which research traditions and methodologies predominate, and why? How are research subjects perceived and positioned within various research contexts? What interdisciplinary tensions or opportunities emerge between different approaches to working across early childhood research?
