    The aim of the study was to investigate how reading interest and reading joy is encouraged in preschools. The studies central questions were: Is the literature available to the children; if yes then in what way? How does the preschool work with literature? What are the preschools’ goals with their literature-work? What are the teachers own attitudes towards reading and literature? The data in this study were collected by qualitative interview with an open interview structure. The sample consists of three interviews with preschool teachers in Finnish-Swedish preschools in Helsinki. The results showed a clear lack of knowledge when it comes to reading interest and the importance of it. The term reading interest was in the first hand associated with learning to read and the reading development instead of the experiences and feelings involved in the reading. The teachers were more prone to associate reading joy with the children’s experiences involved in reading and the teachers reading aloud for the kids. Another interesting result was that the teachers prioritized the reading and saw it as an important part of the curriculum. Reading was thus not only an activity during naptime. Even if encouraging activities did occur, the teachers were not able to connect the activities directly to the development of reading interest. This indicates that the encouraging of reading interest does not happen deliberately. It would be important to raise the teacher’s awareness of the advantages of reading interest and teach them how to implant it in their work.

    Aim The aim of this study is to examine how preschool teachers work towards supporting children’s development of digital competence and to obtain how children can develop their information and communications technology skills in preschool. The study strives to find out how children use digital teaching aid in preschool, what goals the educator has regarding activities where digital equipment is used and how the educator believes that children’s information and communications technology skills can be developed in preschools. Method The research methodology for this study is hermeneutic and consists of qualitative interviews with three preschool teachers from three different kindergartens in Espoo. Results and Conclusion The results show that a versatile and varied combination of both the usage of digital teaching aids and learning in the real immediate environment is the best possible method, that supports not only children’s overall learning within different educational fields, but also supports them to develop their digital literacy and information and communications technology skills.

    Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur pedagoger ser på regler som en viktig del av förskolans vardag samt hur reglerna utformas i samarbetet med vårdnadshavarna. Regler är någonting oundvikligt på förskolor där gruppen består av flera barn och vuxna. Eftersom alla barn har en unik hemmiljö kan reglerna som finns hemma skilja sig från förskolans regler. Oavsett detta förväntas barn utveckla förmågan att anpassa sig till de regler som gäller på förskolan. För studien användes en kvalitativ forskningsansats i form av halvstrukturerade intervjuer. Intervju deltagarna bestod av tre pedagoger som jobbat inom samma enhet. Som analysmetod av det transkriberade intervjumaterialet användes innehållsanalys. Resultatet av studien visar att pedagogerna reflekterade och diskuterade reglerna utförligt både tillsammans med barnen och personalen. Reglerna strävades efter att göras till någonting positivt. Genom positiv förstärkning samt upprepning upplevdes barnen lära sig reglerna. Nya regler under verksamhetsårets gång infördes sällan utan noggrann diskussion. Vårdnadshavare informerades om reglerna och de erbjöds ett forum för att diskutera, men de har begränsat inflytande över reglernas utformning. Vidare visade resultatet att barnet påverkades av hemmiljön i form av hur mottagliga barnen är till förskolans regler. Respekt för både hemmets och förskolans regler uppfattades som viktigt. Resultatet indikerar att regler ute på gården inte utformas tillsammans med barnen, vilket kan vara ett utvecklingsområde för pedagogerna.
