Abstract

This chapter presents the methodological lessons learned from an international, qualitative study that explored the experiences of children under eight years of age and their families with digital technologies. The challenge was to investigate the digital engagement of young children in the home context, across countries, from a qualitative perspective and to extract policy-relevant implications. Researchers collected data on young children’s behavior and perceptions related to the use of digital technologies through interviews with 234 families in 21 countries between 2014 and 2017. The chapter focuses first on discussing the challenges that researchers faced in the data collection, that is, the issues of sampling, finding a balance between standardization and flexibility, the development and implementation of the common research protocol and tools, and ethical considerations. Then it presents the challenges in the data analysis strategies: (a) the organization of the work of the international research team, (b) representativity as an interpretive factor, and (c) and ethical issues and dilemmas. These issues are examined from a research perspective that considers children as active participants and research as a reflexive process between researchers and participants. The chapter concludes by providing methodological recommendations for future research studies in this area.

Keywords

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from the Field Citation Ratio (FCR) of the Dimensions source, it yields a value of: 1.68, which indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: Dimensions Jul 2025)

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-16:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 29 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/712356
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 4 - Quality Education, with a probability of 72% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
