ResuméDenne artikel praesenterer og diskuterer forskellige forandringsambitioner, som er på spil i og omkring forandringsorienteret forskning i det paedagogiske felt. På baggrund af en kritik af dominerende forandringstaenkninger for at resultere i autoritaere og tekniske perspektiver, som udgraenser de politiske og normative dimensioner af paedagogik, argumenterer artiklen for vigtigheden af at arbejde med demokratisering som en central forandringsambition.Artiklen viser, at dette har betydning for forståelsen af såvel paedagogisk arbejde som af forandringsprocessernes resultater. Med udgangspunkt i et forskningsprojekt, der illustrerer disse forandringsambitioner, nemlig et kritisk-utopisk aktionsforskningsprojekt, hvor medarbejdere i daginstitutioner udforskede og udviklede paedagogisk trivselsarbejde fra neden, diskuteres, hvad disse ambitioner kan betyde i praksis. Artiklen argumenterer for et saerligt faglighedsbegreb som en måde at sammenfatte de forandringsprocesser på, som sådanne forskningsprojekter kan understøtte. SøgeordKritisk-utopisk aktionsforskning, paedagogik, myndiggørelse, fremtidsvaerksteder, evidenstaenkning.
The aim of this article is to discuss how participatory methods might contribute to research concerning the development of inclusive, socially just and community-oriented pedagogical practices within the field of early childhood education, as well as contributing to shared knowledge production about relations between kindergartens1 and local communities. The article starts from a critique of dominant political and institutional approaches in Denmark to patterns of cooperation between kindergartens, parents, and local communities, which often in practice lead to top-down and compensatory approaches to cooperation, in which parents are expected to adapt to the agendas of the institutions. We argue that there is a need to develop alternatives to these approaches. This article explores how kindergartens might respond to the needs and views of parents and local communities, rather than the other way around. We explore this by asking what (local) communities for children and parents are and might be, and how kindergartens as significant shapers of children’s lives and experiences might create links between children’s lives inside and outside of the kindergarten. We discuss how communities, pedagogues and children might cooperate in pedagogical research processes and how such research processes affect (understandings of) children’s lives, communities, and kindergartens. Furthermore, we look at how these cooperations and insights might contribute to the development of more inclusive, community-oriented pedagogical practices. Our findings show that shared explorations of the many relations between kindergartens and communities have the potential to build more respectful and reciprocal dialogues and innovative pedagogical practices. Yet at the same time they show that this is an unfinished, imperfect endeavor that requires continuous attention to the complex and changing nature of communities, and to the closures and exclusions entailed by any community practice. Also, the findings point to an understanding of communities as performative phenomena that develop and grow through the very process of involvement and shared engagement. We argue that participatory, community-oriented pedagogical research methods should reflect these dynamics. The article describes and discusses research methods, showing how participatory research methods can deepen our understanding of the complex roles of early childhood education for children and communities, while also inspiring inclusive and community-oriented pedagogical practices.
Denne artikel ser nærmere på evidensidealet, som er et fremtrædende ideal i debatten om, hvordan velfærdsarbejde skal vidensbaseres. Med daginstitutionsarbejde som eksempel præsenterer artiklen nogle overordnede træk, som kendetegner evidensidealet, og diskuterer, hvilke forståelser af pædagogik og pædagogisk praksis, idealet om evidens implicit eller eksplicit trækker på og bidrager til. Med udgangspunkt i et kritisk perspektiv på pædagogik og pædagogiske institutioner som komplekse sociale sammenhænge viser artiklen, at væsentlige dimensioner af pædagogik ikke lader sig forstå af de vidensforståelser, som evidensidealet trækker på. Artiklen argumenterer for behovet for en anden form for vidensbasering, som dels medreflekterer samfundsmæssige, politiske og kulturelle kontekster for pædagogikken, og som dels har blik for pædagoger, børn og forældres agens og viden og involverer disse som aktører i udviklingen af pædagogisk arbejde. Artiklen argumenterer for, at normativitet, involvering og kompleksitet bør være centrale begreber i vidensbaseringen af pædagogisk praksis.
