Everyday practice in after school care

• The aim is to present a research project on after-school care that will be initiated during thespring 2013. As the project is initiated as an ethnographic action research, the main researchissues, as well as the action, are defined by the teachers during the first phase of the research, inco-production with the researchers, inventing visions, restraints, possibilities and a plan of action.We are also planning to conduct ethnographic observations at the units and qualitative interviewswith teachers, and even children. The design is though necessarily quite flexible at this point oftime as it depends on the action and the issues that then may be identified as important for closerstudy. Depending on the financial resources of the project, the research will be conducted duringabout 3 years on either 3 or 6 after-care units. The presentation will focus upon the initial phaseof the project and point out the research questions which are formulated in co-production withteachers who work in the after-school care. These questions can also be seen as importantquestions to investigate further in the area.
