Sažetak
Conducting a pilot study prior to the actual, large-scale survey became a standard scientific tool used to test the research feasibility, its equipment and methods. Moreover, the pilot study can provide logistical and financial estimates for the main survey and the project can be steered more efficiently in terms of resources and time. Pilots can also play important role in attracting research grants as the piloting results can be placed before the funding bodies. This paper presents an overview of piloting practices in large-scale longitudinal surveys conducted in the field of social sciences. The focus is put on longitudinal and panel surveys and surveys conducted on children and youth. Also, the piloting model of the future European Cohort Development Survey will be presented and elaborated. The EDCP pilot is designed to mirror main study fieldwork as closely as possible in order to test all elements of fieldwork procedures. It is planned as a smaller scale version of the main study preceding each wave of the main research and assessing each cohort of children and youth. Specific challenges and problems that can occur in piloting cross- national panel cohort survey on children and youth will be discussed.
