Contribution

This paper is a contribution to the EERA network: 1.Continuing Professional Development in Schools It reports observation and documentation which give teachers the opportunity to improve childhood education, based on their reading about innovations in Reggio Emilia. How does this kind of "Reggio Emilia" inspired practice affect pre- school, and how do the children respond? The paper is based on data from some interviews with children and their teachers. It has three sections. First it introduces Swedish conception of the child. Secondly it discusses the problems encountered in the collection and analysis of interviews with children and teachers. Thirdly, it offers interpretation of the data. Overall, the paper contributes to wider debates about the value of observation and discussions with pre-school children.
