BATISTA, Alexandra Maria Barradas  and  COSTA, Rosalina Pisco. Qualitative and Visual Methodologies in the Study of Digital Parenting: Methodological challenges. NTQR [online]. 2021, vol.9, pp.286-292.  Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 2184-7770.  https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.9.2021.286-292.

This text anticipates and critically reflects upon a set of a methodological and epistemological obstacles in the broader context of a research project aimed at understanding how the uses that parents and children make of information and communication technology (ICT) shape the social construction around competent parenting. Inspired by the recent widespread use of technological devices and software, which enable and facilitate communication at a distance, this research aims to unveil the experience of digital parenting, in a qualitative, intensive, and in-depth approach. Through semi-structured interviews and collecting family stories (episodes), participants will be invited to share with the researcher different segments of network interaction (e.g.: WhatsApp, Facebook), that help to illustrate, expand or counter the experiences narrated as socially significant.

Keywords : Popular Culture; Methods; Family Relationships; Socialization; Information and Communication Technologies..
