Praksisperioden som inngår i barnehagelærerutdanningen er en viktig arena der studentene kan se sammenhengen mellom teori og praksis og reflektere over egen praksis. Studenter i emnet natur, helse og rørsle i barnehagelærerutdanningen har gjennomført en praksisoppgave der de skulle observere alle måltider og håndvask før måltid i sin praksisbarnehage i en uke.

This article aims to explore the conditions for children’s language and literacy learning in 153 Swedish preschools with children one to five years. Significant differences were found in the quality of the 153 preschools as a whole and the five subscales in ECERS-3, giving children unequal conditions for learning and development in the studied areas.

This paper presents the research behind the formulation of a new didaktik model on waste and material resources in preschool. The research was part of an extensive collaborative R&D programme, involving close to 300 preschool teachers/managers and researchers, to build systematic knowledge on what may characterize teaching in preschool based on scientific grounds and proven experience.

The article is guided by the question What can characterise the “what”, “how”, and “why” questions of teaching from the standpoint of a post-structurally and didaktically informed teaching arrangement in the preschool? The substudy is based on material consisting of 251 documents, including co-plans, videos (5.5 hours) and photo documentation, as well as co-assessment.
