Undervisning från svenska förskolechefers perspektiv : Spänningar mellan förväntningar och erfarenheter

• This study aims to contribute knowledge about Swedish preschool managers’ usage of the concept of teaching in preschool. Concept analysis (Koselleck 2004) is carried out, which is supported by the analytical concepts of horizon of expectation and space of experience. The empirical material consists of sound recorded talks and a survey with open questions about teaching in preschool with one follow-up-interview in order to deepen the survey results. The results of the analysis show preschool managers expectations on the staff to starting to use the concept, however, without no radical changes in their practice. Rather, as one manager expressed – it is about to ”gild” the practice. Nevertheless, the study shows that the concept holds a range of tensions, where for example earlier collegial responsibility is challenged by a more divided responsibility. Such tensions enable possible changes in the meaning of the concept as well as changes in preschool practice.
