Out-of-school learning spans varied formal and informal contexts
and is hugely important for the lives of children. The need for
time, flexibility, and agility in research within this field is
highlighted throughout this multi-disciplinary edited volume, as
each author reflects on how to make sense of the unknown and varied
contexts in which out-of-school learning takes place. A range of
different case studies discuss research methods used, challenges
faced, and ways challenges were overcome in relation to
out-of-school learning are presented, followed by a series of
critical reflections. The case studies include a range of research
foci and methods, from large-scale quantitative secondary data
analysis, through interviews and workshops, to ethnographic and
participatory methods. A series of shorter reflections drawing on
all case studies consider the negotiation of the researcher role,
building relationships, the ways knowledge is constructed, the role
of place and power, keeping hold of messiness and complexity,
ethical practice; and 'slow research'. The principles outlined in
this volume are relevant for all research on learning, whenever and
wherever it takes place - whether in school or out-of-school.
