"Spindlarna i Falköping" - en studie om hur dockan som medierande redskap bidrar till utveckling av förskolans kommunikativa miljö

This article illustrates different communicative contents based on children’s motivation and intention that through the puppet play speak and act linguistically. In the empirical section, the puppet consists and functions as a starting point for children’s interaction and narratives. The research interest is directed towards children’s ways of expressing the meaning of the puppet and motives that are generated in the interaction between the puppet and the children in their mutual play. The study result shows that children in interaction with the puppet broaden the linguistic environment in the preschool when they express their knowledge and experience belonging to other contexts than preschool.Utbildning och lärande.
