Children's understanding of child-wellbeing

This data is aimed at exploring children’s perspectives on their well-being as a pathway to a sustainable future within the South African context. A qualitative research approach was utilised which had an exploratory and descriptive purpose. The research design was an instrumental case study. The study sample was purposively selected and snowball sampling was used to recruit participants who composed of ten children between the ages of 8 and 12 residing in Region 7 of the City of Tshwane. Data collection was done through one-on-one semi-structured interviews using an interview schedule and visual communication cards. Data was analysed using Braun and Clark’s six step thematic data analysis model. Trustworthiness of data was enhanced by applying the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependably and confirmability.
