RITEC Project: Children's Digital Play and Well-being Research Activities

A 2026 figshare resource by Fiona Scott details the methodology for a multi-country ecocultural case study on children's digital play. The study involved 50 families across four countries, with fieldwork structured around two digital play experiences and multiple home visits. The dataset is a 24.5 MB DOCX file containing suggested research activities and tools.

Use Cases

• Designing a qualitative study protocol based on the described multi-visit ecocultural framework.
• Analyzing family digital ecosystems using methods like the ecocultural home tour and map-making activity mentioned in the description.
• Studying children's engagement with specific digital games (World of Goo, LEGO Builder's Journey) through semi-structured interviews and video observation.
• Investigating the adaptation of research tools across different cultural contexts, as noted in the reflexive practice.

Strengths

• Provides a detailed, multi-stage fieldwork methodology involving 50 families.
• Includes specific tools and activities, such as semi-structured interviews, video observation, and ecocultural home tours.
• Covers research in four countries, suggesting a cross-cultural perspective.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
