<p>Abstract </p><p>In this thesis, my aim was to investigate how preschool teachers view their involvement </p><p>in children's free play. In order to answer this, I chose to do semi-structured interviews </p><p>with four preschool teachers in three different preschools. My interviews has revealed </p><p>similarities and support for as how history of research looks at the involvement of </p><p>educationists. Both research and my results stresses the importance of being active in </p><p>children's free play and to be a supportive teacher, particulary in conflict situations. For </p><p>those children who have difficulty entering into the free game its the educationists task </p><p>to co-play and help the children find the game. Teachers are involved as observers, but </p><p>the controller does not steer towards specific knowledge objectives. Teachers are on </p><p>hand to guide the activities towards a development-friendly free play.</p>
