Undervisning som fenomen är inte något nytt i förskolan men det har oftast inte benämnts just undervisning. Sedan undervisningsbegreppet för förskolan infördes i skollagen år 2010 och i läroplanen 2018 har dock diskussionen om begreppet varit livlig bland både förskolans pedagoger och förskoleforskare.I denna bok definierar 13 förskollärare undervisningen i förskolan i form av didaktiska dilemman. I varje kapitel beskrivs ett undervisningsfall som sedan bearbetas i en dialog med forskare och andra förskollärare som kommenterar dilemmat ur sina perspektiv. Avslutningsvis reflekterar förskollärarna över dialogen och drar slutsatser som bidrar till ny didaktisk kunskap, sprungen ur och avsedd för förskolan.Undervisning i förskolan. Förskollärare och forskare i dialog om didaktiska dilemman vänder sig till förskollärare och annan personal i förskolan samt förskollärarstudenter som vill diskutera och utveckla sin kunskap och handlingskompetens när det kommer till undervisning i förskolan. Boken är även intressant som ett bidrag till utvecklingen av förskolans didaktiska kunskapsfält.

This book is intended to support people who need to improve their basic command of written and spoken English, but who don’t have much time to spend working on it. The book focuses on the most common problems Swedish speakers have in English and offers a quick fix and also a simple explanation, without going too far into grammar terms. This makes it especially useful for teachers who need to be able to teach English, but feel unsure about their use of the language.There is a companion website with an electronic version of the text and sound examples for the pronunciation chapters, as well as a self-diagnosis test you can use to see what you need to work on.
