1	Experimentera mera! : En designbaserad studie med utgångspunkt i de fysiska krafterna gravitation, magnetism, och statisk elektricitet. / Experiment more! : A design-based study focusing on the physical forces gravity, magnetism, and static electricity. Hanson, Kristina, Nordlund, Emma January 2021 (has links) Abstract The purpose of the study is to contribute knowledge about working with physics in preschool, and how the youngest children perceive natural science phenomena, and to make visible how educators work with the subject of physics. Our focus is forces, and we therefore designed and allowed the children and educators to conduct experiments on, gravity, static electricity and magnetism. The study involved 19 children, aged 1 to 3 and 5 educators. The data collection method for this study consists of observations of the children when they experiment, as well as semi-structured with the educators. We used video recording when conducting the experiments and voice-recording when interviewing the educators. The interviews used a phenomengraphic methodological approch in order to capture preschool teachers different experiences of physics. The youngest children expressed themselves with body movements, mimicry and the older children also expressed hypotheses and reasoning. The results of the interviews show that educators to a large extent feel unsafe when it comes to science in preschool. Unsure about how and what to say, and how to perform spontaneous physics aktivities, and unsure what level is appropriate for the younger children.

2	En studie om att undersöka förskolebarns meningsskapande kring statisk elektricitet Rundqvist, Diana January 2020 (has links) The aim of this study is to investigate how preschool children, aged 3-5 years, create meaning of static electricity in an activity led by a pedagogue, how this is expressed and what part the pedagogue takes in children’s meaning making. The method used was participant observation and video camera was used to document a designed activity. The observations took place at four occasions with four different groups and the observations was conducted in different rooms of various sizes, which were provided by the preschool. Equipment used in this study are: Balloons, pvc-pipes, salt, different kinds of papers, aluminum cans and thin plastic bags. Results in this study show that the children create meaning of the activity first and foremost by exploring interplay and conversations. They solve the task at hand working together and with support of the pedagogue. The role of pedagogue in the children’s meaning making is to present tasks which have moderate levels of difficulties, and to direct the children’s focus by using questions concerning the current phenomenon. In so doing, they support the children to succeed. Factors of importance for the children’s meaning making is to be given the opportunity to explore, their curiosity, joy and being heard. nature science physical phenomena preschoolers static electricity the role of the educator Barns uttryck och meningsskapande fysikaliska fenomen förskolebarn naturvetenskap pedagogens roll statisk elektricitet Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap Educational Sciences Utbildningsvetenskap Pedagogical Work Pedagogiskt arbete
