En essä om pedagogernas roll i genusformandet av förskolebarnen
My purpose in this essay has been to gain an understanding of why we treat children differently and analyse the underlying causes. The method of choice was to reflect on some significant events that occurred at my preschool and to use relevant literature as a basis for analysing these events. Society is constantly changing and my focus has been on what happens to the children at preschool if we are not sensitive to this development. There is a need to highlight the underlying social and human values, in order to ensure that children are treated on equal terms. As educators we need to understand the impact of our lack of legal knowledge for children in the development of their understanding of their rights and obligations in a democratic society. In order to be effective and efficient educators, we must begin to reflect on the content of the national educational policy document Lfpö 98/10. I have examined my own and others behaviour in this respect and also stressed how important it is that all teachers in preschool must agree on the values that are expressed in this document. Another important issue that I have dealt whit in this essay is the importance of having the appropriate knowledge to become a good teacher. If you do not have such knowledge, you are unable to properly reflect on this various situations that arise in everyday life at the preschool.
