2022 (English)In: Applications of Research in Technology Education: Helping Teachers Develop Research-Informed Practice / [ed] P. John Williams, Belinda von Mengersen, Singapore: Springer, 2022, 1, p. 219-232Chapter in book (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
Abstract [en]

This chapter is based on studies that investigated technology education in preschool focusing on the content described and taught by the staff, how this content is taught and what children are enabled to learn through this teaching. Three methods were used to investigate this. First a questionnaire, then interviews and finally an ethnographically inspired perspective where data was generated from observations and interviews. Participants were preschool teachers and childcare attendants in Sweden. Departing from those studies, this chapter will provide a picture of what preschool technology education is to the participants of the study as well as what preschool staff find challenging when it comes to teaching technology. The results show that the view on preschool technology education is broad and varies between preschool staff. Two specific challenges were: what is included in the concept and the content area of technology, and how some specific content can be taught in the context of a play-based preschool. The last part of this chapter will address these challenges and try to provide some clarification and suggestions.
