English abstract

Since the mid-1990s several reforms have challenged the idea of educare, which is often held up as the main characteristic of the Swedish preschool (OECD 2001, 2006, Moss 2006). Educare in the Swedish context means good-quality care and education in a balanced mix. Unlike many European countries, there is not a split in the organisation between care of children below and above the age of three (Knijn, Jönsson and Klammer 2005, Letablier and Jönsson 2005). Contemporary reform...

In Swedish preschools (with children between 1 and 5 years old) there has been an increased focus on the children’s right to participation.

This paper is based on my forthcoming doctoral thesis about pre-school teachers work with children’s participation. The aim of my thesis is to describe and analyze how teachers, in pre-schools which put focus on children’s participation, work with giving children opportunities to influence the pedagogical environment and activities. I also want to discuss what the children express about their possibilities for participation, and the relation between the possibilities for part...

In school curricu...
