Abstract [sv]

Pedagoger i förskolans verksamhet förväntas besitta kunskap att tillgodose barns behov, stödja och utmana deras lärande samt utveckling i en inkluderande miljö. Somliga av de barn som är en del av verksamheten anses vara i behov av särskilt stöd varpå specialpedagog med ytterligare kompetens kan inkopplas.Studiens syfte är att lyfta fram hur inkluderingsbegreppet diskursivt kan ses i förskolans rådande styrdokument, utan att vara uttryck i text, och hur det tolkningsutrymme som lämnas påverkar förskolans organisation. Detta har möjliggjorts genom att utgå från What’s the problem represented to be?-ansatsen vid analys av dokumenten, där resultatet underbyggs av Bernstein kunskapssociologiska teori. Vidare har det studerats hur tolkningsmöjligheterna av inkludering kan påverka barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Inkludering skrivs inte explicit fram genom förskolans styrdokument utan kan uppfattas implicit genom varierande formuleringar, trots att inkludering som koncept anses vara en central aspekt av förskolans verksamhet. I förlängningen påverkas de barn som anses vara i behov av särskilt stöd då detta uttryck är tätt sammanlänkat både med framskrivningar av inkludering som begrepp i styrdokument samt inkludering som koncept i förskolans verksamhet. Behovet av ett tydligare definierat inkluderingsbegrepp lyfts fram i relation till förskolans nuvarande organisation.

Abstract [en]

Preschool educators are expected to have knowledge to meet children's needs, support and challenge their learning and development through an inclusive climate. Some of these children in preschool can also be considered as needing special support, whereupon special educators, with an inclusive education as a goal, can be brought in. The purpose of the essay is to highlight how the term inclusion can be seen discursively in the preschool's current governing documents, without being expressed in text, and how the interpretation space left affects the preschool's organization. This has been made possible by applying the What's the problem represented to be? approach when analyzing the documents, where the results are supported by Bernstein's sociological theory of knowledge. Furthermore, it has been studied how the interpretation possibilities of inclusion can affect children in need of special support. Inclusion is not explicitly stated in the preschool's governing document, but can be understood implicitly through varying wording, even though inclusion as a concept is a central aspect of the preschool's operations. In the extension, the children who are considered needing special support are affected as this expression is closely linked both with projections of inclusion as a term in governing documents and inclusion as a concept in the preschool context. The need for a more clearly defined term of inclusion is highlighted in relation to the preschool's current organization
