Empirical research into smartphone use in disadvantaged pupils: Methodologies and data collection techniques.

    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.
