Abstract [sv]

Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen är att, inom ett praktiknära forskningsprojekt, utforska hur undervisning blir till i förskolans praktiker med utgångspunkt i framväxande lokala och situerade utvecklings- och forskningspraktiker. Genom att under närmare tre års tid arbeta i nära samverkan med förskollärare och barnskötare från tre olika förskolor har frågan om undervisning i förskolan kunnat undersökas på en mängd olika sätt, med utgångspunkt i förskolepraktikernas frågor. Med utgångspunkt i etisk-onto-epistemologiska (Barad, 2007; Haraway; 2016; Stengers; 2005) ställningstaganden och kritisk aktionsforskning (Carr & Kemmis, 1986: Kemmis et al., 2014a) har utvecklings- och forskningsprocesser kombinerats, med sikte på att producera kunskaper i och tillsammans med de förskolepraktiker som deltar. Teoretiska och metodologiska utgångspunkter hämtas från posthumanistisk teoribildning, främst via Barad (2003; 2007), Haraway (1988;2003;2008b;2016), Stengers (2005; 2010; 2018) samt Deleuze och Guattari (1980/2015). Tillsammans med en mångfald av aktörer så som förskollärare, barnskötare, barn, dokumentationer, styrdokument, lera och tidigare forskning har undervisningens tillblivelse i flera olika praktiker utforskats genom omtänkanden, kartograferanden, kollborativt samskrivande och berättanden. Det empiriska materials som har producerats och analyserats består av minnesanteckningar, transkriberade ljudinspelningar, skriftliga reflektioner och olika former av kollektivt skapade dokumentationer. I avhandlingen framträder undervisning som en praktik vilken sträcker sig bortom en specifik händelse och omfattar både det förberedande planeringsarbetet, de efterföljande reflektionerna och den fortsatta processen. Rörelser, i olika riktningar och hastigheter, skapar gränser kring undervisningen, gränser som visar på föreställningar och traditioner om vad undervisning i förskolan ska vara. Dessa gränser utmanas när pedagogerna med sina frågor och handlingar provar att tänka och göra på andra sätt. På detta sätt om(för)handlas undervisningen när utforskandet blir en plats där olika praktiker möts. I avhandlingen framträder en mängd berättelser om, med och för undervisning i förskolans praktiker som tillsammans visar på vikten av att behålla komplexiteten i frågor som rör såväl syfte med som innehåll i förskolans utbildning och undervisning, för att inte begränsa barns möjligheter att lära sig, utvecklas och bli till. Vidare argumenteras för vikten av att förskollärare och barnskötare, vilka utifrån sina situerade kunskaper kan ses som förskolepraktikens kännare, fortsätter att vara med och förhandla undervisningens tillblivelser både i förskolans praktiker och i forskning.

Abstract [en]

The overall aim of this thesis is to explore the becomings of teaching in preschool practices, based on local and situated research and development practices, within a practice-based research project. By working closely with preschool practitioners from three different preschools for nearly three years, the issue of teaching in preschool has been explored in various ways, based on questions from the practices. Ethico-onto-epistemological positions (Barad, 2007; Haraway, 2016) and critical action research (Carr & Kemmis, 1986; Kemmis et al., 2014a;) have been used to combine development and research processes with the aim of producing knowledge in and with the participating preschool practices. Theoretical and methodological foundations are drawn from posthumanist theory, mainly through Barad (2003; 2007), Haraway (1988; 2003; 2008b; 2016), Stengers (2005; 2010; 2018), and Deleuze and Guattari (1987). Together with a multitude of actors such as preschool practitioners, children, documentation, policy documents, clay, and previous research, the becomings of teaching in various practices have been explored through rethinkings, cartographies, collaborative writing, and storytelling. The empirical material produced and analyzed consists of memory notes, transcribed audio recordings, written reflections, and various forms of collectively created documentation. In the thesis, teaching becomes a practice that extends beyond a specific event, encompassing both preparatory planning, subsequent reflections, and the continued processes. Movements, in different directions and speeds, create boundaries around teaching, boundaries produced by the conceptions and traditions of what preschool teaching should be. These boundaries are challenged when preschool practitioners, with their questions and doings, think and act in other ways. Teaching is renegotiated when the exploring becomes a place where different practices meet. This thesis presents multiple stories about, with, and for teaching in preschool practices. Stories that collectively highlights the importance of maintaining the complexity in questions concerning both the purpose and content of preschool education and teaching to not limit children’s opportunities to learn, develop, and become. Furthermore, it is argued that preschool teachers and child minders, who can be seen as connoisseurs of preschool practices based on their situated knowledge, should continue to negotiate the becomings of teaching, both in preschool and research practices.

Abstract [en]

This article elaborates an intra-active approach to action research, with examples from a recently started action research project carried out in collaboration with three preschools. The aim of the article is to contribute to the discussion about how practice-based research for change can take shape. Therefore, these questions are asked: Which concepts are central and what is produced in intra-active action research? Which potentialities for change are enabled via an intra-active approach to action research? New materialism theories, starting with Barad, are used to rethink action research, focusing on collaboration, movements, and change. An analysis workshop within the project, starting in circular and horizontal movements, inspired by Deleuze and Guattari through the work of Lenz Taguchi, is revisited. The intra-actions in the workshop produce both generative and undermining processes. Therefore, the intra-active action research approach implies that staying in the complexity of practices, rather than seeking to reduce the ‘messiness’, holds potentialities for change that unwind from the middle.

Abstract [en]

In this article, a collaborative Deleuze-Guattarian-inspired cartography is produced with preschool practitioners to explore the assemblages of teaching in preschool. The aim is to map how teaching comes into being in preschool planning and reflection practices following the movements of territorialisation and re-/de-territorialisation. Unwinding from a policy change that 4 years ago introduced teaching to the Swedish preschool curriculum, the overarching question of what teaching is and could be to follows through the text. The preschool teaching assemblages are visited through three territories in which different continuums of (un)teaching unfold when staying with the emerging messiness. The movements of de-territorialisation open for divergent thinking, questioning traditions and assumptions of how to conduct teaching in preschool practice, in entanglement with both local and global movements.

Abstract [sv]

Artikeln baseras på ett utvecklingsprojekt om undervisning i förskolan som under drygt två år bedrivits i aktionsforskande anda och där tre förskolor i samma förskoleområde deltagit. Syftet med artikeln är att beskriva och diskutera de utvecklande rörelser som kan uppstå i ett utvecklingsprojekt om undervisning i förskolan. Rörelser förstås här som lägesförändringar av människor, tankar och praktiker. Fyra övergripande rörelser har formulerats och diskuteras i relation till aktionsforskning som en ”practice changing practice” samt teorin om praktikarkitekturer. Förändringarna kan ses i den praktiska undervisningen samt i pedagogernas förståelse för undervisning och utvecklingsarbete. Undervisningen görs på ett annat sätt och i större omfattning idag än tidigare. Utvecklandet av ett gemensamt språk för att prata om, och reflektera kring undervisning och utvecklingsarbete har varit viktigt. Även villkoren för praktiken har förändrats. Organiseringen både av och för utbildning och undervisning bygger idag på gemensamma och kollegiala processer.

Abstract [en]

This paper explores and renegotiates the shapes of teaching in preschool education. Therefore, I engage in storytelling drawing from Haraway and create encounters together and with preschool practices and practitioners in connection to a policy change that introduced teaching into the Swedish preschool curriculum. This multiple inquiry complexifies teaching, starting with the preschool practitioners’ questions and concerns about teaching in preschool. Through stories, teaching takes both place and space in preschool education, challenging and confirming ideas and traditions on how to do preschool. Teaching takes multiple shapes and becomes a practice that extends beyond a specific event, encompassing both preparatory planning and subsequent reflections, as well as the continued process, intertwined with global trends of formalising early childhood education. Resisting a simplified story of the purpose of preschool education, I propose storytelling as a way to acknowledge teaching in preschool practices.
