Résumé

1 trl@hvl.no; 2 tme@hvl.no This paper describes the features of ethical research and how we attempted to undertake this kind of research. Our contention is that the aim of ethical research should be to produce action for change. Our understandings of ethical research led us to pause our negotiations for setting up two new projects, in kindergartens in Norway. By taking seriously our potential collaborators' concerns, we were alerted to how kindergartens were simultaneously seen as both the cause and the salvation for several issues. In media discussions, which often originated with the Minister for Education, there was a perception that there was a need for more learning, particularly of mathematics and language, to overcome difficulties that children, especially immigrant children, may have when they begin school. These discussions were often contradictory with kindergartens being placed in an invidious position of navigating these discussions for their work with children. Ethical research In August 2016, we were in the early stages of setting up two projects involving dialogue between ourselves, as mathematics education researchers, and the parents and teachers of multilingual children in kindergartens in Norway. As described in the next section, our initial discussions with an organisation about one project made us stop and reconsider what we wanted to do and why. To do this, we clarified our ideas about the kind of research, ethical research, which we wanted to undertake. In this paper, we discuss how implementing its principles resulted in us investigating the shifting landscape of priorities in Norwegian kindergarten policies.
