Vårt intresse för utemiljön uppstod då vi såg, genom erfarenheter av arbete på förskolor, att många förskolegårdar inte alltid tilltalade barnen. Några gårdar såg inte inspirerande ut och barnen visste inte vet vad de skulle göra. Syftet med studien är att skapa kunskap om hur barn utforskar sin förskolegård och vad som styr deras val av hur de placerar sig själva på gården när de leker. Utifrån en etnografisk, induktiv studie, vill vi lyfta fram vad barnen berättar om sin förskolegård. Vi har utgått från barndomsgeografi vilken ses inom forskningen som en del av barndomssociologin. Barndomen ses här som socialt konstruerad och frågor uppkommer om vilka platser som betraktas som bra för barn. Vi har sett utifrån våra samtalspromenader och observationer att barnen använder sig av olika rörelsestrategier såsom att klättra i träden, åka rutschkana och gunga samt att de använder sig av fysiska aktiviteter som till exempel att bygga kojor, samla naturmaterial och hoppar i lövhögar men att de även styrs av sin nyfikenhet och plötsligt kan stanna till för att titta på insekter etc. när de utforskar områden på gården. Resultaten av vår studie visar att rörelse är något som barnen ofta berättar om att de ägnar sig åt på sin förskolegård. / Our interest in the outdoor environment started when we discovered, through the experience of working in preschool, that many preschool centers are not always appealing to the children. Several outdoor environments is not inspiring for the children leading to that they feel lost and don’t know what to do. The purpose of the study is to give a better insight and understanding in how children explore their preschool yard and what determines their choices in how they position themselves in the preschool yard when they are playing. We wanted to highlight childrens experiences regarding their preschool yard based on an ethnographic and inductive study, that is, to analyze and draw conclusions from collected material. We have started from childhood geography which is seen in research as part of the childhood sociology. Childhood is here seen as socially constructed and questions arises about the places that are considered good for children. We have seen from our conversations walks and observations that children use different operating strategies, such as climbing trees, ride the slide and swing, and that the use of physical activities such as building huts, collect natural materials and jumping in leaf piles, but that they also is guided by their curiosity and suddenly can stop to have a look at insects, etc. as they explore areas of the preschool yard. The results of our study show the importance of movement, this is something that children often prioritize in their telling about their preschool yard.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender as vivências da Geografia Escolar pelas crianças no primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental a partir do seu protagonismo. Inspirada em princípios qualitativos, tem na Etnografia sua base metodológica, enfocando especialmente o trabalho realizado em duas escolas públicas de Juiz de Fora (MG). Assim, busca aproximar-se dos significados que as crianças atribuem a este campo de saber nas práticas escolares, colocando-os em diálogo com alguns discursos adultos constituintes da Geografia Escolar. Tomando como referencial teórico os estudos da infância e, em especial, a Geografia da Infância, traz as vozes das crianças, sujeitos centrais no processo de antecipação do ingresso obrigatório no Ensino Fundamental para os seis anos de idade. Os achados da investigação foram organizados em três campos interpretativos que reorientam o olhar sobre a política de antecipação do ingresso obrigatório no Ensino Fundamental, bem como a Geografia Escolar com crianças. / This work has aimed to understand the experiences of School Geography by children in the first grade of Elementary School from their role. Inspired by qualitative principles, it has in Ethnography its methodological basis, especially focusing on the work carried out in two public schools in Juiz de Fora (MG). Thus, it seeks to approximate the meanings that children attribute to this field of knowledge in school practices, putting them in dialogue with adults speeches constituents of School Geography. Taking as the theoretical reference childhood studies and in particular the Geography of Childhood, it brings children\'s voices, central subjects in anticipation process of compulsory admission to the Elementary school for six years of age. The findings of the investigation were organized in three interpretative fields that redirect the look on anticipating policy of compulsory entry in Elementary Education, as well as the School Geography with children.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om barn i enlighet med FN:s konvention om barns rättigheter har möjlighet till att fritt delta i det kulturella och konstnärliga livet i förskolans utbildning samt om de utifrån läroplanen ges tid, rum och ro till eget skapande. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur barn åskådliggör sina möjligheter till eget/fritt skapande, vilket skapande som barnen anser vara viktigt och vad de väljer att framhäva samt i vilken form skapandet tar sig uttryck. Studien behandlar dessutom de handlingserbjudanden barn möter i förskolan och hur dessa påverkar skapandet. Vi har använt oss av vår nya metod digitala gåturer, där barnen själva och med stöd av en förskollärare har fått visa och berätta om sitt skapande för oss. Resultatet av studien visar att platsen är viktig för de möjligheter och handlingserbjudanden barn möter i förskolan. Vi ser även hur barns skapande tar sig många olika uttrycksformer samt att barn genom sitt aktörskap transformerar och erövrar platser och material. Slutsatsen av studien är att det är viktigt att vi noggrant ser över utformningen av förskolans miljöer samt tillgång till material för att eget/fritt skapande ska kunna uppnås. Då barnen använder många olika tillvägagångssätt i processen av sitt skapande blir det även viktigt att synliggöra och värdesätta resultatet av vad processen har lett till. Slutligen visar även studien att metoden digitala gåturer är en tillförlitlig och modern metod för att åskådliggöra barns perspektiv.
