The article discusses the distribution of activities between kindergarten teachers and assistants, and what characterizes the two groups’ responsibilities at work. The study is based on a survey representing kindergartens from all over Norway, and is part of a national research project<a href="http://journals.hioa.no/index.php/nbf/author/saveSubmit/3#_ftn1"><strong>[1]</strong></a>. Division of labor is weak. The findings are discussed using a frame factor theoretical approach (Dahllöf 1967, Lundgren 1981). It is argued that several factors affect how staff utilize the scope of action in kindergarten.</em></p><div><br /><hr size="1" /><div><p><a href="http://journals.hioa.no/index.php/nbf/author/saveSubmit/3#_ftnref1">[1]</a> The ”MAFAL”-project. “Mastering the role as kindergarten teacher in a field dominated by laymen.” Cooperation between researchers at Volda University College and Oslo and Akershus University College.
