Abstract [en]

This presentation shares research findings of three comparative studies conducted by five students in their sixth semester of preschool teacher education at Karlstad University. Three of the students had travelled to Capetown, South Africa, for professional experience, with concurrent opportunity to collect data. This data was them compared with data gathered in Sweden. One project comparatively analysed a series of photographs representing the inside learning environments of a preschool in South Africa (Svärd) and a preschool in Sweden (Royem). Another project supported preschool children to use a tablet to take photographs of things they wished to which illustrated how their preschool is in South Africa (Alvarsson) and Sweden (Engels), with subsequent comparative analysis. The final project (Lindahl) completed a text analysis of early childhood curriculum documents from South Africa and Sweden. The presentation celebrates the intercultural work of these student teachers through sharing their key findings.
