Barn och vårdnadshavares minnen av deltagande i pedagogisk dokumentation

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of the article is to contribute with knowledge of pedagogical documentation with a particular focus on the importance of documentation from a democracy perspective. While there are many studies of pedagogical documentation, few studies explicit examine this practice from the perspective of children and guardians. Analyses, based on focus group data of children´s and guardian´s conversations from memories of the children´s time spent in preschool in relation to educational documentation work, are presented. Pedagogical documentation practice is shown to contribute to the creation of a community of practice at the preschool, which in turn enabled democratic education.

Keywords: democracy, pedagogical documentation, community of practice, social control
