2014
Tiivistelmä. Piiroinen, Reetta & Saari, Saila. 2014. Lastentarhanopettajat liikunnan suunnittelijoina. Varhaiskasvatustieteen kandidaatintutkielma. Kasvatustie- teiden laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. 50 sivua + liitteet. Tutkimuksemme on tärkeä, koska varhaiskasvatusikäisten lasten liikuntaa on tutkittu vähän.

Tutkimuksemme tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten lastentarhanopettajat suunnittelevat liikuntatuokioita lapsiryhmässä. Tutkimuksen aineistonhankinnan toteutimme tekemällä interneti…

Språkmedvetenhet i småbarnspedagogiskt arbete – Finländska daghemspedagogers reflektioner
2019
Sammandrag: Under det senaste decenniet har Finland blivit alltmer mångspråkigt. Det syns också i styrdokumenten. I denna artikel beskrivs hur pedagoger vid ett tvåspråkigt så kallat samlokaliserat daghem resonerar kring begreppet språkmedvetenhet och hur deras diskurser förhåller sig till det som skrivs om språkmedvetenhet i Grunderna för planen för småbarnspedagogik 2016 (det nationella styrdokumentet för småbarnspedagogik). Enligt resultaten är pedagogerna medvetna om deras roll som språkmedvetna vuxna och hur de kan stödja barns språkliga medvetenhet i svenska/finska medan diskurser om annan flerspråkighet ej förekommer spontant. Studien visar att det är viktigt att diskutera språkmedve…

Furthermore, we identified factors associated with the general ability of child-caregivers to identify overweight in children, and the awareness to classify a child within…
