Measurement of technology use by children and their posture and movement: phase 1
About the project
This first phase of this project will capture what is known about the current methods to measure digital technology use by children and their posture and movement during device use.
Current guidelines mainly rely on parental report, which is burdensome for participants and of questionable accuracy. The project will synthesise what is known about the methods used, including proxy report, direction observation, interaction data and wearable sensors and will inform future research on how to capture technology use by young children to guide future research studies, including laboratory and field studies.
Project aims:
- conduct a systematic or scoping review to synthesise currently available evidence for more objective methods to capture technology engagement by children
