(2018)The purpose of this thesis is to present the possibilities of book discussions while at the same time highlight the differences between adults and children's perspective regarding children's literature, reading aloud and book discussions. Children's literature has a long history and many positive effects on children's development, but the status of children's literature is currently at risk due to increased media usage. Thus I will in this thesis present why children's literature is important and what possibilities there are with children's literature and book discussions. A part of the scope is also to cover if book discussions can be a means of approaching children's perspective. To fulfill the scope of this thesis an interview with an educator and book discussions with children were used as methods. Based on this thesis theoretical part, the interview and the book discussions with the children, I will reflect and present the possibilities of book discussions. The results and conclusions of this thesis are that the possibilities of book discussions are many, but the best thing is how book discussions can act as a bridge to approach children's perspective. With the help of children's literature and conversations around books, an educator can approach children's perspective and learning, while gaining insight into the children's world of living.

(2018)The purpose of this study is to get an insight into preschool children's thoughts on gender roles. The topic of gender roles is highly relevant in todays' society and an issue that has been brought into focus in early childhood education as well and my aim is to explore how the preschool children of today think about gender roles. Research in the field of early childhood education related to gender roles is being done more and more but it is still a relatively undiscovered field and very few studies have the children's perspective in focus. This study is made up of individual, qualitative interviews and I have interviewed 26 children in total in six separate interviews. Outside of the interviews I have collected material through the children choosing toys from a toy magazine. The interviews started with a discussion about the children's choices of toys and followed with a conversation about different issues regarding the topic of gender roles. One of the most central findings of the study is that children to a certain extent had noticed differences between boys and girls while regarding some other areas did not think there is any difference between the two genders at all. Furthermore it is interesting to notice that even though children pointed out certain differences between boys and girls they were in general very accepting of different types of genderbending and norm breaking tendencies.
