Jonathan Herbert

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract


This paper presents findings from a pilot study designed to test data collection techniques for
gaining detailed, empirical insight into mobile technology use in socio-economically deprived pupils.
Focussed on pupils aged 13-14 in a deprived inner-city area of Manchester, UK, key considerations
included ethical awareness and the potential for sensitive data to be produced and discussed, and
the effectiveness of the techniques in producing significantly trustworthy and representative data.
Data collection techniques that were trialled include observation, diaries, interviews and raw data
from devices.
