Systems of (mis)trust? - Municipal ECE intervention and professional patterns of reception

Research output: Contribution to conference without a publisher/journal › Abstract › Communication

Abstract

The research aims to understand the effects of the quite radical change of the professional work in Danish ECE area. How are all the new systems of “quality”, which is initiated and imposed by the municipalities, received and made sense of in the dayto-day ECE practice? How does new politically motivated systems of intervention correspond with the pedagogical context of ECE practice? The project draws on both policy analysis (Ball 1998, Krejsler 2017, Hopmann 2011) and on empirical studies (Aabro 2016, Aabro et al 2017) I mainly draw on aspects of symbolic interactionism, conceptualizing the search for “evidence”,
“intervention” and “quality control” as political forms of governing the ECE area that frames the pedagogues in certain ways, but also allows the pedagogues to position themselves professionally As the overall approach is interactionist, the
methodology is phenomenological, seeking patterns of meaning and discourse.
