Guldlock och de tre björnarna, en saga utan familj : En intervjustuide med sex personer verksamma inom förskolan angående skönlitteraturens roll i verksamheten och behovet av icke-heteronormativ skönlitteratur / Goldilocks and the three bears, a tale with no family : an interview-study with six people working in preschool concerning the role of literature in preschool and the need for non-heteronormativity literature

Literature is an important part of the daily activity in preschool and it is also a powerful tool for reinforcing different norms. The purpose of this study is to explore, through qualitative interviews, for what purpose pedagogues in preschool use literature in their daily activity and what needs these pedagogues see for non-heteronormativity literature. The study also relates the needs that pedagogues see with the basic values presented in the Swedish National Curriculum for preschool. Literature is used in preschool for a wide range of purposes including; enriching the language, getting familiarized with the written language, show diversity, reinforce norms on how to be a good friend, as a starting-point for discussion, working with a theme or to have a fun time. The needs that the pedagogues see for non-heteronormativity literature can be divided in to three categories namely there is always a need, there is only a need when somebody requires that kind of literature to identify themselves with or there is only a need when somebody is being discriminated because of not belonging to the heteronorm. The need for non-heteronormativity literature being there always corresponds with the basic values in the Swedish National Curriculum for preschool and the recommendation that the basic values are visible in the daily activity of the preschool. The other needs doesn’t correspond with this, but it matches other parts of the Swedish National Curriculum for preschool.
