I think how easy it is that a society is normalised by surveillance and those in power positions that we today are used to almost always being watched. Furthermore I believe this is also seen in the preschool. The purpose of the study is to investigate recording and documenting in the preschool and in which contexts this limits children’s influence and participation. I will focus on photographing, filming and texts written about the children. I take on the adults’ perspective where I examine the power relations between pedagogues and children. The questions I raise are: In which context is children’s influence and participation limited in documentation? How can the power positions between children and pedagogues be viewed? My theoretical perspective is based on Michel Foucaults thoughts of power and surveillance. I chose a qualitative method for my study. I did interviews with five pedagogues that told me about what they think about children’s influence and participation in preschool documentation, routines and how they work in the setting. The result shows that children’s integrity in preschool documentation is forgotten due to two different matters: lack of time and habits/norms, which effect children’s influence and participation.
