“…Hence, developing a relevant pedagogical strategy presupposes an investigation of the different perspectives of children (Aronsson et al 2018;Højholt and Schraube 2016;Ulvik and Gulbrandsen 2015). To avoid misunderstandings, we wish to clarify that working with children's perspectives is not just a matter of asking children what they want or wish for in a given situation and then adjusting the pedagogy accordingly.…”

“…From our theoretical standpoint, the politics of everyday life is conceptualized as an aspect of the subject's behavior in everyday life aimed at collective negotiation and transformation of shared life conditions (Røn-Larsen 2019. This perspective is rooted in research traditions that emphasize the dialectical relationship between the individual and the social, drawing more specifically on the German-Danish tradition of critical psychology (Dreier 1997(Dreier , 2008Holzkamp 2024aHolzkamp , 2024bHøjholt and Schraube 2016; Osterkamp and Schraube 2013), Jean Lave's (2011Lave's ( , 2019, social practice theory, and Anna Stetsenko's (2008Stetsenko's ( , 2013 transformative activist stand. These approaches share a common interest in human practice as inherently political in the sense that people participate with engagements in the world-and through this participation dialectically transform both themselves and their shared world.…”

This article analyzes the possibilities and obstacles in pedagogical practices in ECEC (Early Childhood Education and Care) in relation to developing relevant opportunities for participation for all children, by supporting their own engagements in order to expand their action possibilities. Over the last decades, the political agendas in the Nordic as well as other OECD countries have been led by an increasing focus on learning goals and standardized professional procedures, at the expense of a more situated and flexible pedagogy following children’s own engagements. When concerns arise about children’s well-being, development, and/or learning, this tendency seems to intensify, as descriptions of concerns are often based on assessments of children’s individual (dis-)abilities, while investigations of children’s own engagements and reasons for actions are seldom conducted. From a theoretical standpoint in critical psychology and social practice theory, we discuss collaborative processes among children and adults in relation to institutional conditions as inherently political, in the sense that the distribution of different access to social resources and opportunities for participation for different children is negotiated through such daily exchanges and therefore also involves questions about democracy. We explore the everyday life practices of children and professionals, analyzing how, through everyday practice, they constantly work on maintaining, reproducing, and transgressing the standardized demands. To understand such processes, we suggest a conceptual focus on the politics of everyday life and situated pedagogy.

“…(Højholt, Kristensen & Schraube, 2013) Albeit explicitly grounded in an interest to develop psychology through situated studies of the everyday, the conference emphasized the necessity to seek inspiration and collaboration across related disciplines. This is mirrored in the publications emanating from the conference, such as the Nordic Psychology journal special issue on Psychological perspectives on children's conduct of everyday life (Højholt & Røn Larsen, 2015) as well as the eponymous anthology Psychology and the Conduct of Everyday Life (Schraube & Højholt, 2016). A review of the latter publication is included in the current issue (Suorsa, 2015b).…”

“…Overall, phenomena related to everyday life tend to be "nebulous, pervasive and ambiguous: obvious to the point of elusiveness" (Scott, 2009, p. 2). This is reflected in the wide variety of characterizations of everyday life presented in diverse fields such as sociology, philosophy, history and cultural studies (Ghisleni, 2017;Højholt and Schraube, 2015). Everyday life tends to incorporate multiple and partially opposite qualities: it can be routinized, habitual and relatively static but also fluid and ambivalent in nature (Gardiner, 2000, p. 6).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to elaborate the nature of everyday life as a context of information behaviour by examining how researchers have approached this issue. To this end, particular attention is directed to how they have characterized everyday life as a constellation of work-related and non-work constituents.Design/methodology/approachEvolutionary concept analysis was conducted by focussing on 40 studies on the topic. It is examined how the conceptualizations of everyday life and the relationships between work-related and non-work constituents have been evolved since the 1990s. The analysis is based on the comparison of the similarities and differences between the characterizations of the above constituents.FindingsEarly conceptualizations of everyday life as a context of information behaviour were largely based on Savolainen's model for everyday life information seeking. Later studies have proposed a more holistic approach to everyday life in times when the boundaries between work-related and free-time activities have become blurred, due to the growing use of networked information technologies and telecommuting. Since the late 1990s, the understanding about the nature of everyday life as a context of information behaviour has become more nuanced; thanks to a more detailed identification of the overlaps of work-related and non-work constituents.Research limitations/implicationsAs the study is based on a sample of studies examining the relationships of work-related and non-work constituents, the findings cannot be generalized to concern the contextual nature of everyday life as a whole.Originality/valueThe study pioneers by offering an in-depth analysis of the nature of everyday life as a context of information behaviour.
