DESCRIPTION:Young children’s agency in their learning and development ha
 s been of recent interest to educational research\, policy and practice. R
 esearch in early childhood education has focused on early transitions\, ch
 ildren’s perspectives\, self-regulated learning and metacognitive develo
 pment\, amongst others\, seeking to understand children’s participation 
 in their learning experiences. However\, this work does not fully address 
 the relationship between learning and development\, nor has it begun to ex
 plore the influence of early transition experiences on the development of 
 children’s learning agency from the child’s perspective. My study aims
  to contribute towards this gap through participatory research with young 
 children as informants of their learning experiences through their transit
 ion from kindergarten to first grade. The study took place in a State scho
 ol in Santiago\, Chile\, with 16 young children aged 5½ to 6½ years. A c
 ultural historical model is employed to explore children’s perspectives.
  By employing visual participatory methods such as photograph interview ta
 sks (book-making and poster-making)\, and classroom video recordings\, my 
 work brings together psychological\, educational and sociological perspect
 ives to understand the development of children's sense of learning agency 
 in an educational context.\n
