Vi är intresserade av vilken roll barnboken har i förskolan och om både pedagoger och barn hade någon uppfattning om varför läsning kan vara av betydelse. Därför ville vi ta reda på pedagogers och barns syn på läsandet av barnböcker i förskolan, samt att ta reda på vilka likheter och skillnader det finns mellan deras uppfattningar. Vi har gjort en kvalitativ undersökning där vi intervjuat sex pedagoger och 18 barn. Vår studie bygger på ett sociokulturellt perspektiv. Pedagogerna använde barnboken främst som ett verktyg i förskolan för att främja barnets kunskapsutveckling som exempelvis språket, fantasin och faktakunskaper.

This thesis analyses how romanies look upon schooling and how they reflect upon the possibility of getting an education. Many inquiries relating to romanies have been published in Sweden but very few are based on fieldwork among romanies. The aim of this thesis is therefore to through fieldwork focus on how romanies themselves look upon their educational situation.The main questions for this study are: How is the image of romanies as a problem constructed in school? How are romanies separated from other students? How is the interplay between romanies and school representatives formed? How do romanies look upon the possibility of getting an education and does their perception differ from the usual official apprehension?An important conclusion concerns how social workers and teachers continuously categorize romanies as different. The group is constantly differentiated from other ethnic groups and is often the target of integration projects.
