De osynliga men väsentliga aktiviteterna! : En studie av barn som till synes inte leker
In this thesis work, we wanted to look into what the children do that don’t seem to play with other children.We also wanted to investigate how the preschool teachers talk about these children. In this survey focus has been on the interaction between children which has been examined through observations.The thoughts of the adults and their view of how they coould/should relate to children that don´t seem to take part in the play has been brought forward through interviews. We have made observations and interviews in a preschool in central Stockholm. We have named the preschool ”Skogmullen” and the department ”Ugglan” and ”Bjornen”.To get yet another perspective, we have intervued an educator in “International Child Development Programme“ that is grounded in (profession) Daniel Stern's concept. We have choosen to connect and analyse the empiric material in relation to Stern's theories and concept.The results of our survey shows that the children are active in what they are doing when playing alone. During the interviews it was emphasised that children can choose to observe or they may need support to participate in the play.
