Title

Swedish preschool educators’ pedagogical work and learning regarding digital technology in practice

Abstract

In this data session, we will explore how preschool educators’ pedagogical work and learning on digital technology are constituted in everyday interactions with children and colleagues in preschool. Overall research questions are:

  • How can communitive, embodied and material resources afford and constrain educators’ pedagogical work and learning?
  • How is agency realized and negotiated in the interaction?

The surge in digitalization has formed new Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) policies emphasizing "digital competence", urging continuing professional development for educators. However, everyday workplace learning is often overlooked.

In this sub-study of my PhD thesis Workplace learning and digital technology in preschool, I have video-recorded three Swedish work teams' pedagogical activities. Data collection is ongoing but consists of 18 hours of video recordings for this sub-study. Some short excerpts of different activities/situations of interest to the research questions will be shown.

The language of the data is Swedish but the transcripts/excerpts will be translated into English.
