Values education in Nordic preschools: Basis of education for tomorrow Kick Off Conference, Oslo, June 2013 Anna-Maija Puroila Adjunct professor, Senior research fellow University of Oulu

Background On a global scale, the common ideological basis of the Nordic countries has been emphasized There is a worldwide recognition that investments in early years have strong connections to the future of societies Values education is a significant but under-represented area in the field of ECEC Origin of the project: studies of values in Sweden and Norway (Johansson 2002; 2009; 2011; Emilson 2006; 2007; 2008; Johansson & Emilson 2009)

Terminology Values (Halstead & Taylor 2000): principles that guide human action and by which actions are judged to be good or desirable Values education (Thornberg 2010): educational practice through which children are assumed to learn values Preschool children’s age varies between 1 and 6 years

Theoretical framework Habermas’ (1995) theoretical ideas about: Communicative action Life world System Conceptual tools for approaching values education in preschools from multiple viewpoints Communication through which values are conveyed; Participants’ inside perspectives of values (life world); Broader societal contexts framing values and values education (system).

Methodology National sub-projects: Participative action research methodology Supporting developmental processes in participating preschools Nordic co-operation: Sharing and co-constructing knowledge Reflecting national level findings within a Nordic frame Research design enables to work at different levels Nordic National Preschool communities Individual practitioners

Multiple qualitative methods Policy documents, individual interviews, group interviews, (video) observations, written diaries Variety of qualitative analysis methods will be used to explore values education at the system level, communication level, and life-world level Analytical perspectives: 1) Educational policies; 2) Practitioners' perceptions of values and values education; 3) Communication of values in educational practices; 4) Gender; 5) Processes and critical incidents for change in preschools; and 6) Nordic commonalities and variations.

Aims To deepen theoretical understanding of values and values education by further developing Habermas' ideas about life- world, system, and communicative action; To develop innovative research methodologies in which a participative action research method is connected with cross- cultural orientation; To advance empirical knowledge of values and values education in Nordic preschools.

Research questions How do the national educational policies frame values education in preschools? What is values education like in preschools? What kinds of values are communicated? What kinds of gender patterns emerge in values education? Which commonalities and variations in values and values education can be found among the Nordic countries?
