Inskolning : En undersökning av inskolningen på 70-talet och idag

The enquiry of this work is to look at introduction to preschool in the 1970s and today. The work examines what four books, two from each time period says about introduction, and the guardian's role in their child's introduction. The study is based on three research questions: What view of introduction in preschool in the 70s does the texts show? What is the view in the texts from "today" about introduction in preschool? What view do these texts have about the guardian's role in the introduction? To find out what the texts say about these questions, the method of this work is text analysis. The attachment theory designed by John Bowlby, works as a theoretical framework for this work.The result shows that the texts from both the 70s and from today advocate a cautious introduction, where guardians are involved. All the four texts emphasize the importance of the connection between the teachers at the preschool and the children and their guardians, so that the preschool will be felt like a safe and secure place for the child to be in and to explore. The guardians’ involvement in the child's introduction is also affected, and shows that it is important that the guardian is involved so that the child can develop in preschool.
