Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att bli förskollärare är skriven för förskollärarutbildningen och ger en bred och heltäckande introduktion till förskolläraryrket. I boken presenteras förskolans verksamhet och förskollärarprofessionen utifrån både teoretiska och praktiska perspektiv, som liksom facetter reflekterar förskolans komplexitet. Boken är uppbyggd i fyra delar; professionsperspektivet, verksamhetsperspektivet, barnperspektivet och bildningsperspektivet. Varje del inleds med en kort beskrivning av och motivering till det valda perspektivet. Inom de olika perspektiven finns bidrag från 23 svenska professorer som i sin forskning har fokus på förskolan. Bidragen visar den rika variation av forskning som har utvecklats om förskolan under de senaste 30 åren.Boken har också som syfte att sätta in förskolan och förskolans nutida verksamhet i ett historiskt perspektiv. Ett kännetecken för förskolans verksamhet är dess helhetssyn på barnet som lärande, lekande och aktivt utforskande. Verksamheten ska vila på vetenskaplig grund och beprövad erfarenhet, vilket genomgående speglas i boken med introducerande texter, vetenskapliga bidrag, exempel från förskolans levda praktik liksom kopplingar till förskolans pionjärer och styrdokument genom historien.

REFORMERS PÅVERKAN PÅ LÄRARES UNDERVISNING I GRUNDSKOLAN OCH FÖRSKOLAN : En läroplansteoretisk studie om undervisningsuppdraget och lärarrollen i förändring
- 2022

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall aim of this thesis is to use a curriculum theoretical perspective to contribute knowledge about the impact of recent reforms on teachers’/preschool teachers’ teaching, with a special focus on mathematics. The thesis takes its starting point in a licentiate thesis that was completed in 2014. The further doctoral studies are based on two articles. These articles answer specific research questions. Substudy 1 was a systematic literature review that focused on the role of the preschool teacher in teaching mathematics in preschool. Substudy 2 explored how preschool teachers interpret their teaching mission based on the curriculum’s directives and how they describe the meaning of the concept of preschool teaching. The data from Substudy 1 consisted of 68 research articles, and Substudy 2 was based on 50 preschool teachers’ reflection texts. The theoretical underpinnings of the thesis are two theoretical perspectives: curriculum theory and Bernstein’s theory of pedagogic practice. The results from the two substudies show the importance of preschool teachers having both subject knowledge and didactic competence to carry out teaching in spontaneous situations and planned activities. The results from Substudy 1 show two different roles that preschool teachers adopt when teaching mathematics in preschool education guided by social pedagogical or pre-primary curriculum traditions; these are the role of instructor and the role of an interactor. In the research studies, preschool teachers provide instruction with planned subject content or interact with the children’s play and other everyday situations to promote children’s mathematics learning. The results from Substudy 2 show an education that is guided by invisible pedagogy within the social pedagogical curriculum tradition. The preschool teachers describe teaching taking place spontaneously in play and other everyday situations based on children’s own interests and needs. The preschool teachers also have a purpose with the teaching, and they plan activities together with the children. These reveal teaching governed by visible pedagogy, which is characteristic of the pre-primary curriculum tradition. Furthermore, there are indications that a new curriculum tradition is emerging bearing some similarities to previous traditions, an approach that is both play-based and goal-oriented. Children’s participation and influence are central in the teaching, which means that the teaching conforms to the children’s interests, and that goals from the curriculum are woven into the everyday work. The preschool teacher consciously shapes the environment in the preschool and uses materials to promote children’s learning, and the teaching has more distinct subject content. Together with the licentiate study, the two substudies show that teachers and preschool teachers have difficulty transforming a new curriculum text into practically applicable form. The curricula leave room for interpretation, and the uncertainty that arises in the transformation arena shows that they need support to realize the curriculum’s new guidelines.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines five preschool teachers' narratives about using the outdoor environment as a pedagogical resource for children's play, learning and experiences in Swedish preschools. Participants were asked to reflect on both opportunities and challenges in outdoor play and learning. The present study responds to the need for further research on how the outdoor environment is used in daily pedagogical practice through the lens of preschool teachers' own descriptions. The study is built on interpretive qualitative research, a form of narrative inquiry that uses concepts such as place and didactic sensitivity in the analysis. The findings show how the participants highlight many opportunities for children to engage in play and learning activities in the outdoor environment. The importance of educators' involvement and pedagogical commitment is also emphasised. However, constraints related to lack of variation, access, and teacher commitment are clearly identified as hindering the use of the outdoor environment as a pedagogical resource.
