Abstract

This paper was presented: September 2008, Ethnography in Education Conference, Oxford Researching Social Capital: Accessing Children’s Voice This paper will report on the ethnographic methodology used to investigate if and how Social Capital is built in schools to enable effective learning for refugee pupils. It will focus particularly on the need for multiple approaches to data gathering and on ways of accessing pupil voice when the children do not have English as a First Language. The project is one of a series of case studies undertaken by the Schools and Social Capital network of the Applied Educational Research Scheme (AERS) in Scotland. This particular investigation built on the findings of the CLASP (Creative Learning and Student Perspectives) project undertaken by Geri Smyth for the Scottish part of the European project.
