Abstract

In this thesis, my aim was to investigate how preschool teachers view their involvement

in children's free play. In order to answer this, I chose to do semi-structured interviews

with four preschool teachers in three different preschools. My interviews has revealed

similarities and support for as how history of research looks at the involvement of

educationists. Both research and my results stresses the importance of being active in

children's free play and to be a supportive teacher, particulary in conflict situations. For

those children who have difficulty entering into the free game its the educationists task

to co-play and help the children find the game. Teachers are involved as observers, but

the controller does not steer towards specific knowledge objectives. Teachers are on

hand to guide the activities towards a development-friendly free play.
