Preschool teachers´ understanding of their work related to energy metabolism (English)
Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to examine the understanding, preschool teachers, have about their work related to energy conversion in the human body. Through individual interviews, answers have been sought to the following questions: What do the preschool teachers believe they need to know about the link between food and energy? What are the different methods preschool teachers use to workwith the area of energy conversion in the human body?

The results show that preschool teachers have knowledge in terms of food and its nutrients as an energy source for the body to cope with. However the more thorough and detailed questions become all the more uncertainty there is about the topic. Preschool teachers on their own initiative do bring up the topic with the children and begin conversations as well as ask questions, perform experiments and demonstrations. However, there is still a demand for further education in this topic among preschool teachers, as well as requests on advice and ideas on how to work with children around the body’s energy.

It is important that preschool teachers raise the subject with the children at an early age, in order to create awareness, understanding and interest in the children’s mind. With the children becoming older, also their understanding develops. This drives the importance of the preschool teachers’ performance and commitment in order to obtain meaningful work.

Keywords: knowledge, work methods, interest, further education.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar pedagogerna i förskolan har kring sitt arbete med energiomsättningen i kroppen. Genom individuella intervjuer har svar sökts på följande frågor; Vad anser sig pedagogerna behöva kunna kring kopplingen mellan mat och energi? Vilka olika metoder använder pedagogerna sig utav för att arbeta med energiomsättningen i kroppen?

Resultatet visar på att pedagogerna har kunskap vad gäller maten och dess näringsämnen som energikälla för att kroppen ska orka med. Ju mer ingående och detaljerade frågorna blir desto mer osäkerhet finns det kring ämnet. På eget initiativ tar pedagogerna upp ämnet med barnen och inleder samtal, ställer frågor, utför experiment och demonstrationer. Dock finns önskemål kring fortbildning i ämnet hos pedagogerna, liksom önskemål kring tips och idéer på hur man kan arbeta med barnen kring kroppens energi.

Att pedagogerna tar upp ämnet med barnen redan i tidig ålder är betydelsefullt för att skapa medvetenhet och intresse. Med stigande ålder skapas även förståelse hos barnet. Pedagogernas insatser liksom engagemang och kunnande är betydelsefulla för ett givande arbete.

Nyckelord: kunskap, arbetsmetod, intresse, fortbildning.
