%0 Journal Article %T F rskoleklassl rare som g starbetare: Gr nsmarkeringar via sociala st ngningar %A Helena Ackesj£¿ %J Nordisk Barnehageforskning %D 2010 %I H?gskolen i Oslo %X The preschool class is an educational programme that has been created through an educational reform in Sweden in the late 1990s. The purpose was to construct a bridge between preschool and primary school, where the two institutions together would create a ¡°new pedagogy¡±. My study of teacher identities in preschool class shows that the teachers are using strategies to mark their differences to other teachers. One strategy is to enhance in-groups and out-groups. These strategies also construct the preschool class as a security zone where the teachers distance themselves from other teachers, in contrast to the educational reform. %U http://grundtvig.hio.no/index.php/nordiskbarnehageforskning/article/view/96
