Abstract

The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify ethical challenges in educational research with refugee children. Utilizing a systematic review of a descriptive type, 16 journal articles, extracted from three social sciences bibliographic databases, and through additional backward and forward searches, were selected on the grounds of the set criteria. The selected articles were then analyzed using document analysis of an inductive type. The results of the analysis point to the existence of specific ethical challenges in educational research with refugee children, related to language barrier and the position of refugee children in research. Keeping in mind the way the identified challenges were addressed in the analyzed research, ethical choices in future research involving refugee children as participants should be approached creatively, flexibly, and reflexively.
