Eliciting the Views of Children About Health in Schools Through the Use of the Draw and Write Technique
Abstract
A draw and write scenario was devised in order to elicit the views of primary school pupils (ages 8–12) regarding the qualities they would expect to see in a school which promotes health, and the qualities their own schools need to develop to become more health promoting. The draw and write investigation was conducted in a sample of six primary schools in Lothian, Scotland. These schools are located in both urban and rural environments, and cater for communities of different socioeconomic status. Categorisation of the children's responses revealed that the majority of pupils from all the schools considered issues relating to healthy eating, the school environment and exercise as being vital elements of a healthy school. There was inter-school variation in the richness of data produced and range of responses given. The scenario was also capable of detecting intea-school similarities and differences in response. We conclude that this draw and write investigation could be utilised to ascertain pupils' opinions on the qualities schools need to possess and develop to promote health. These views, in turn, could help to inform the development of the Health Promoting School concept.

“the benefits of the uses of drawings, as the various chapters in this volume attest, are many and include the active engagement of children (MacGregor et al., 1998) and adults (Guillemin, 2004; Stuart, 2007; Theron, 2008) and visible proof of research findings.”

“When drawing is used as a research method, it often entails participants' drawing and talking or drawing and writing (Backett-Milburn & McKie, 1999; Guillemin, 2004; MacGregor et al., 1998; Mair & Kierans, 2007) about the meaning embedded in their drawing.”

“For a number of decades-possibly from as early as 1935 (MacGregor, Currie, & Wetton, 1998)-psychologists and researchers have engaged children and adults in activities using varied forms of a 'draw-and-write' or 'draw-and-talk' technique that have facilitated the rich exploration of children's and adults' reflections, perceptions, and views on multiple topics and phenomena”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
