Deltagerobservation sætter fokus på en overset kvalitativ metode inden for psykologien. Med deltagerobservation bliver det muligt at lave nuancerede og detaljerige beskrivelser af psykologiske fænomener, eftersom disse fænomener undersøges som en del af den kontekst, de udfolder sig i. Man indsamler data dels gennem deltagelse i aktiviteter, dels gennem observation, idet man som forsker registrerer, hvad andre foretager sig – enten uden at gribe ind eller ved at deltage aktivt som en del af gruppen. Hvert kapitel fokuserer på en central problemstilling ved brugen af deltagerobservation. Bogen omfatter alle metodens væsentligste tematikker, og der tages udgangspunkt i centrale spørgsmål som: Hvordan tilrettelægger man et projekt, hvor man bruger deltagerobservation som metode? Hvilke styrker og problemer er der i anvendelsen af deltagerobservation? Hvordan analyserer og fortolker man data? Er data fra deltagerobservation valide? Bogen henvender sig både til forskere og studerende inden for de humanistiske og samfundsvidenskabelige fagområder. Den er målrettet undervisningen på universiteter, professionshøjskoler og andre læreanstalter.

Children and young people are active agents with motives and intentions who can contribute to their social worlds. Taking children seriously involves both accessing their perspectives as they make sense of the world and working relationally with them to guide their motive orientations. In this book, Hedegaard and Edwards draw upon their own and others' research on children from birth to school leaving age to advocate for relational support for learners and to emphasise the caring aspects of this support. The authors provide a scholarly account of the cultural-historical underpinnings of their caring relational approach, while bringing these ideas to life through examples of practices in families and in more formal settings. Written for those who work with children and young people in varied capacities, this book reveals the knowledge and skills required for the subtle and reciprocal work of supporting the learning and development of children and young people.

Pædagogikhåndbogen beskriver pædagogikkens vidensområde gennem seks tilgange: Pædagogikkens historie (hvad er baggrunden for det skolesyn vi har i dag?) Pædagogisk filosofi (hvad er skolens formål og etiske grundlag?) Pædagogisk sociologi (hvad er skolen sociale virkelighed?) Pædagogisk psykologi (hvad er udvikling, læring og motivation?) Pædagogisk antropologi (hvordan bliver skolens kulturelle mønstre synlige?) Didaktik (hvordan bliver pædagogik til planlægning, gennemførsel og evaluering af undervisning?) Pædagogikhåndbogen præsenterer et vidensgrundlag, som den studerende kan bruge til at reflektere over praksis med. Bogen er tænkt som den studerendes arbejdsredskab gennem hele studiet. Den henvender sig til læreruddannelsen og pædagogiske bachelor-, diplom- og kandidatuddannelser. Pædagogikhåndbogen er et originalt værk, der er sammensat af nyskrevne og reviderede kapitler fra udgivelsen Pædagogikhåndbogen, 1. udgave.

This book explores the dynamics in children's everyday lives as they move between school and the family, with particular consideration of how children's motives change in response to new challenges. Professors Mariane Hedegaard and Marilyn Fleer follow four children, two from Australia and two from Denmark, over a twelve-month period. Using these case studies, they show how children's everyday activities, play, and the demands of both family and educational contexts influence their learning and development. The authors contribute to a sociocultural theory formulation that includes the child's perspective in cultural historical contexts. Their approach yields insights that transcend specific nationalities, cultures, and socioeconomic situations. The analysis shows not just how children's family life shapes their experiences in school, but how schools influence and shape their lives at home.

For at forstå børn må vi prøve at se verden i barnets perspektiv. Indsigt i barnets verden og forståelse af denne opnås ved at se barnet i de samspil, hvori det indgår med andre mennesker.Har barnet problemer, kan de være udviklingsfremmende, men kan også fastholde barnet i sammenhænge, som er skadelige for dets udvikling.Iagttagelse og beskrivelse af barnet i dets dagligdag gør det muligt at anvende og forandre problemfyldte situationer og på den måde give barnet bedst mulige udviklingsmuligheder. Beskrivelse af småbørn anviser en metode til analyse og tolkning af barnets intentioner, problemer og kapaciteter i dets dagligdag - i samspil med andre mennesker.

The cultural-historical approach started in the 1930s by Lev Vygotsky, who held that learning and instruction are the means to development, is the foundation for the Radical-Local Theory of Teaching and Learning formulated by Mariane Hedegaard and Seth Chaiklin in the first part of the book. The central concern in this approach to education is how to integrate particular historical and cultural conditions that the children encounter into educational practices. The second half of the book is an extensive case study of an after-school programme for Puerto Rican primary students in East Harlem, New York conducted in a radical-local perspective. This programme focussed on the history of the community and of Puerto Rican immigration, and the study describes how it helped students become both more positive and more critical about their backgrounds. By acquiring basic academic skills in a theoretical framework the children learn how to analyse their own local situation, addressing not only immediate issues (housing conditions, family life, community dynamics) but also historical issues.Unlike apparently similar culturally responsive approaches to teaching underprivileged children, radical-local teaching explicitly uses subject matter teaching to encourage children's development in relation to their social conditions. Hedegaard and Chaiklin detail how they developed concrete lesson plans in a radical-local perspective, and enumerate the accomplishments as well as the difficulties they encountered in implementing this approach.

Stilladsbegrebet går tilbage til L.S. Vygotskys arbejder, men fremstår i dag som et selvstændigt begreb. I denne bog relateres stilladstænkningen til teori og forskning om så vidt forskellige områder som motiv- og sprogudvikling, selvet og tilværelseskompetence, kommunikation, læring af praktiske færdigheder samt undervisning i matematik og dansk. Inden for pædagogisk tænkning er man i stigende grad blevet opmærksom på, at læring er socialt baseret, og at det lærende menneske har brug for en passende form for støtte fra omgivelserne, hvis dets læring skal optimeres. Stilladsbegrebet ikke blot fastholder denne synsvinkel, men giver også mulighed for at sammentænke forskellige vinkler på læring og udvikling i en praksisnær helhedsforståelse.
