Abstract

During a recent ESRC-supported project, Becoming a 'Problem': How Children Develop a Reputation as 'Naughty' in the Earliest Years at School [RES062230105], the project team developed a prototype film that presented the issues identified during the project in an innovative way. By departing from the usual didactic conventions of the educational film or the in-service training video and inviting a more open and critical engagement from audiences, the film has the potential to help viewers examine and challenge their existing preconceptions concerning young children and behaviour. The film presents the knowledge generated during a data-rich qualitative study in an interesting and provocative format and has the capacity to improve knowledge transfer and user impact.
