Title | Child-father creative text-making at home with crayons, iPad, collage & PC |
Authors | Kucirkova, N. and Sakr, M. |
Abstract | This study examines how the properties of digital (an iPad app and PC software) and nondigital (collage and drawing) resources for children’s text-making influence the creative expression of a three-year-old during collaborative text-making with her father at home. Particular attention was paid to the child’s ‘possibility thinking’ (Craft, 2008) and engagement in ‘what if scenarios’, her father’s support for this kind of creative expression and their joint creative collaboration as it unfolded during eight episodes of text-making. We used video transcripts analysed using thematic deductive analysis, supplemented with multimodal description of the processes and frequency measures for the individual and collaborative indicators of possibility thinking. This study makes three novel contributions. |
