Using methodological analysis, this paper provides a critical reflection, from the perspective of gender education, on a research study which focused on the relationship between boys and girls from 06 years old, and between them and the adults educationally and emotionally close to them, both in the family context and in that of the educational and scholastic services, in Emilia-Romagna. Faced with this research challenge, the interdisciplinary research team that designed and developed the study asked themselves many pertinent questions, not least the methodological choices required. The need, on the one hand, to provide results that were generally applicable to the whole EmiliaRomagna region (through the application of a representative sample and the deployment of quantitative approaches and techniques), and on the other hand, to qualitatively enrich such a sensitive theme, led them towards a mixed method approach with sequential design.This mixed approach was used both for the choice research tools and how they were applied, aswell as for the interpretation of the data.
In questo contributo si propone una riflessione critica sotto la lente metodologica di una ricerca conclusa e focalizzata sulle relazioni tra bambini e bambine dagli 0 ai 6 anni e di questi con gli adulti educativamente e affettivamente significativi presenti in famiglia e nei sevizi educativi e scolastici dell’Emilia-Romagna, secondo la prospettiva dell’educazione di genere. A partire da tale problema di ricerca il team interdisciplinare che ha ideato e sviluppato l’indagine si è posto numerosi interrogativi anche inerenti le scelte metodologiche da compiere. L’esigenza da un lato di ottenere risultati generalizzabili all’intera regione Emilia-Romagna (attraverso la messa a punto di un campione rappresentativo e l’impiego di approcci e strumenti quantitativi) e quella dall’altro di approfondire qualitativamente un tema sensibile come quello in oggetto hanno portato a scegliere un approccio mixed method con disegno sequenziale. Tale approccio misto ha riguardato sia la scelta e il modo di impiego degli strumenti, sia l’interpretazione dei dati.

Abstract
Using methodological analysis, this paper provides a critical reflection, from the perspective of gender education, on a research study which focused on the relationship between boys and girls from 06 years old, and between them and the adults educationally and emotionally close to them, both in the family context and in that of the educational and scholastic services, in Emilia-Romagna. Faced with this research challenge, the interdisciplinary research team that designed and developed the study asked themselves many pertinent questions, not least the methodological choices required. The need, on the one hand, to provide results that were generally applicable to the whole EmiliaRomagna region (through the application of a representative sample and the deployment of quantitative approaches and techniques), and on the other hand, to qualitatively enrich such a sensitive theme, led them towards a mixed method approach with sequential design.This mixed approach was used both for the choice research tools and how they were applied, aswell as for the interpretation of the data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
