Abstract

Multiple types of video data can help understand children's everyday information practices as children often struggle to share their perspectives through traditional research methods. This methodological case study investigates the opportunities and challenges of collecting multiple types of video data, one generated by the research team and the other by participants, to expand the understanding of information practices. A collective case study of elementary-aged children's information practices at a summer camp, an afterschool program, and a library engineering program demonstrates that multiple types of video data captured participants' different patterns of information practices and depicted evolving transition of information practices that were mediated by both tangible and intangible tools in the environment. Video-based interaction analysis offers information science researchers a way to advance and refine theories on information practices. Involving participants in data collection and augmenting traditional methods with video may enrich the depth of research on information practices.

通过基于视频的研究理解信息实践：收集研究人员生成和参与者生成的视频数据的机遇和挑战

多种类型的视频数据可以帮助了解儿童的日常信息实践，因为儿童经常难以通过传统的研究方法分享他们的观点。本方法学案例研究调查了收集多种类型视频数据的机遇和挑战，一种由研究团队生成，另一种由参与者生成，以扩大对信息实践的理解。一项针对小学年龄儿童在夏令营、课外活动和图书馆工程项目中的信息实践的集体案例研究表明，多种类型的视频数据捕获了参与者的不同信息实践模式，并描绘了环境中有形和无形工具介导的信息实践的演变过渡。基于视频的交互分析为信息科学研究者提供了一种推进和完善信息实践理论的方法。让参与者参与数据收集和利用视频增强传统方法可以丰富信息实践研究的深度。
