This study deals with pedagogical documentation. With a revised preschool curriculum,where this is a crucial aid for illustrating the learning process of children and educators, aswell as demonstrating the activities of the school, it is of the utmost relevance to further explorethis notion. The study focuses on a single municipality and explores the various ways inwhich its preschools do in reality deal with this issue in correlation with the actual visions andgoals set by that municipality. Through a series of qualitative interviews with educators aswell as with the municipality Head of Education, this study outlines how educational documentationis in fact applied in the schools in question. The gathered data has been interpretedwith a power perspective as well as with a sociocultural perspective in mind. The municipalityin question has gone to great lengths to educate all its preschool staff in pedagogical documentationin accordance with the methods of Reggio Emilia. As it turns out, the definition ofthe concept varies between schools. Furthermore, this study illustrates both flaws and benefits of this aid.
