Listening for Voices of Self Digital Journaling Among Gifted Young Adolescents

Listening for Voices of Self Digital Journaling Among Gifted Young Adolescents The lives of gifted young adolescents are often subject to adultgenerated and expert narratives that can impact a developing sense of self. However, opportunities for gifted young adolescents to represent themselves as informants can emerge through digital forms of qualitative research. This paper reports on the value of digital writing of journal entries, delivered by email to a researcher over several months, as an alternative to facetoface interviews. Journaling methods combined with techniques of listening for voices can support young adolescents in generating their own multivocal narratives of self. This method capturing selfnarratives in email form has the potential to produce rich understandings of individual young adolescents selfconstructions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Qualitative Research Journal Emerald Publishing

Abstract

The lives of gifted young adolescents are often subject to adultgenerated and expert narratives that can impact a developing sense of self. However, opportunities for gifted young adolescents to represent themselves as informants can emerge through digital forms of qualitative research. This paper reports on the value of digital writing of journal entries, delivered by email to a researcher over several months, as an alternative to facetoface interviews. Journaling methods combined with techniques of listening for voices can support young adolescents in generating their own multivocal narratives of self. This method capturing selfnarratives in email form has the potential to produce rich understandings of individual young adolescents selfconstructions.
