Research On Listening To Children: A Brief Introduction To "The Mosaic Approach"

This document provides a summary of research on listening to children. It introduces Clark and Moss's (2001) Mosaic Approach framework for listening to younger children. The framework is multi-method, participatory, reflexive, adaptable, focused on children's lived experiences, and can be embedded into early years practice. The Mosaic Approach involves two stages: first, gathering documentation and reflecting on children's lives, and second, piecing together information for dialogue and listening to children's perspectives.

Research on Listening to Children



There is a wealth of research on the benefits of listening to children. Included
is a brief introduction to some of these influential pieces of work.


A Brief Introduction to The Mosaic Approach

Clark and Moss (2001) present both a framework for listening and suggest
the Mosaic Approach to listening to younger children. The framework for
listening is:

Multi-method: recognises the different languages or voices of children

Participatory: treats children as experts and agents in their own lives

Reflexive: includes children, practitioners and parents in reflecting on
meanings and addresses the question of interpretation

Adaptable: can be applied to a variety of early child-hood institutions

Focussed on childrens lived experiences: looking at lives rather than
knowledge gained or care received

Embedded into practice: a framework for listening which has the
potential to be both used as an evaluative tool and to become
embedded into early years practice

Within this framework, Clark and Moss suggest a two staged Mosaic
Approach:

Stage One: Children and adults gather documentation and practitioners
and parents reflect on what they think life is like for the child(ren)

Stage two: Piecing together information for dialogue, reflection and
interpretation and practitioners and parents listen to the child(rens)
own perspectives
