In this essay I reflect on a situation where I as a preschool teacher amworried about a child whose behavior I cannot understand nor recognize. The situation is characterized by the fact that I cannot explain my worries to my colleagues. I also discuss why different pedagogues understand the same situation differently, the importance of children´s play and how it creates opportunities to social interactionThrough my reflections I can understand my concern and show that it is justified.  I also discuss the act of reflection as a method. Reflecting is a way to increase or knowledge. But I also claim that reflection might be used collectively by reflecting together we might increase our shared understanding and also find out how to proceed with our common work.The conclusion is that reflection is an important tool for us pedagogues when we want to increase our understanding and our knowledge.

A goal that our curriculum mention as well: Not to make a difference between boys and girls.

Syftet med det här arbetet var att undersöka i vilken omfattning harpundervisning bedrivs vid kommunala musik- och kulturskolor, samt att ta reda på hur ett självstudiematerial för harpa fungerar. En enkätundersökning visade att bara fyra av Sveriges musik- och kulturskolor erbjuder undervisning i harpa. Självstudiematerialet "Teach Yourself to Play the Folk Harp" av Sylvia Woods utvärderades av åtta personer med olika musikalisk bakgrund som följdes under fyra månaders tid. Resultatet av studien visade att materialet upplevdes på olika sätt, men att det samlade omdömet var mestadels positivt. Av studien framkom också att deltagarnas medvetenhet om sina inlärningsstilar hade stor betydelse för hur materialet upplevdes och utvärderades..
