Barns inflytande i förskolan - Children?s influence at the preschool This essay concentrates around teachers work with children´s influence at the preschool and how that affects the days there for the children and the teachers. The purpose of the essay is to present how four educationalists placed at two different Preschools work with childrens influence at the preschool and their point of wiev of the matter. With that I also wanted to expose how the educationalists work with childrens rights at the preschool and to that I added how democracy is used at the preschool. The investigation´s starting point was the questions: What does childrens influence at the preschool mean for the educationalists? How do the educationalists think regarding childrens rights? When can the children be included in dessisionmaking at the preschool? When is it not possible for the children to be included in the dessisionmaking? The four educationalists were intervjued seperately to get the most honest answers.

The purpose of this thesis was to study how preschool teachers interpret the values of the preschool curriculum that relates to culture and how the teachers describe how they work with these values in their professional practice. The study is based on social constructive and discourse analytic perspectives. I have studied how preschool teachers construct the concept of culture and the values of the preschool curriculum through a specific way to describe this. A specific way to talk about something is called a discourse. In other words I have studied preschool teachers expressed discourses about culture and their professional practice with the values of the preschool curriculum.To study this, I've done interviews with four preschool teachers.

The purpose of my study has been to find out how mother tongue teachers working in Preschools where a majority of the children have a mother tongue other than Swedish make use of fictional children?s books during the mother tongue support lessons. In order to determine this, I am asking the following questions:- What is the range of children's books in the children's mother tongue available at the preschool?- In what ways are the native language teachers encouraging literacy development through the usage of children's books?- How do native language teachers view the childrens? linguistic development as well as the enhancement of cultural identity through the usage of the books?These questions have formed the basis of the methodical approach, which is based on a qualitative research method. The data collection consists of three parts; the observation of mother tongue support, interviews with language teachers as well as with the nursery manager and lastly a survey of children's books in languages other than Swedish at the preschool.The essay has as its theoretical basis the socio-cultural view of learning and development.

The main purpose of this study is to examine differences and similarities concerning teamwork and interactive skills among preschool children while they interact with an Ipad respective a number of selected traditional artifacts. The traditional artifacts chosen for this study are small Lego blocks, JovoToys (click and construct system) and large puzzles. The study takes its starting point on the basis of both a social- and a learning perspective when different groups of preschool children in the ages from three to five years interact in fellowship groups with respective artifact. Primarily the main focus is to examine differences and similarities that appear from without the social perspective.The overall objective is to identify what eventual differences and similarities can be found purposely on both what is happening in the social interaction between the preschool children themselves but also what is taking place in the interaction between the children and each artifact. This study will also via theoretical frameworks create an understanding why eventual differences and similarities exist.The results are based on both a literature review and a field study.

Sammanfattning Titel: ?Låt det rätta komma in? ? en diskursanalys av tre planeringsmöten i förskolan. ?To Let the Right Things In? ? a Discourse Analysis of Planning Meetings in Three Swedish Preschools. Författare: Linda Henryson, Sarah Sandin Examensarbete: Specialpedagogprogrammet 90 hp, Lärande och samhälle, Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Malmö högskola Handledare: Kristian Lutz Examinator: Lotta Anderson Datum: 2014-01-16 I föreliggande examensarbete studeras tre planeringsmöten på tre olika förskolor i Skåne. Bakgrund Med hjälp av diskursanalytiska begrepp och socialkonstruktionistisk hållning analyseras ljudupptagningar från lärarnas planeringsmöten. Burr (1995) framhåller fyra grundpelare inom socialkonstruktionismen: ? Kritisk hållning till kunskap som tas för given. ? Historisk och kulturell bundenhet. ? Kunskap konstrueras genom sociala processer. ? Kunskap och sociala handlingar går hand i hand. Syfte Följande frågeställningar behandlas: ? Hur konstrueras barns lärande i lärarnas planeringsmöten i förskolan? ? På vilka sätt beskrivs barngruppen respektive enskilda barn? ? Är specialpedagogens roll synlig i planeringsmötena, och i så fall på vilka sätt? 4 Metod Då förskolan är en välkänd kontext för oss båda ansåg vi att diskursanalys skulle vara en bra metod för att få grepp om det vardagliga. Ljudupptagning av lärarnas diskussioner valdes, då detta ansågs påverka lärarna i mindre utsträckning än videoupptagning eller om vi skulle befinna oss i rummet. Analys I analysen speglas det empiriska materialet mot Burrs (1995) fyra grundpelare samt tidigare forskning.

Denna uppsats handlar om öppna förskolan, en verksamhet för barn och föräldrar som vissa kommuner väljer att tillhandahålla. Trots att verksamheten funnits drygt 30 år, är den sparsamt utforskad. Uppsatsarbetet har därför inriktats mot ett explorativt sökande efter olika föreställningar om öppna förskolan. Föreställningarna har på formuleringsarenan eftersökts i tryckta källor, och på realiseringsarenan genom en etnografiskt inspirerad fältstudie i två öppna förskolor. Syftet har varit att uppnå förståelse för arenornas föreställningar om öppna förskolan och hur dessa föreställningar förhåller sig till varandra.
