Abstract
- This paper undertakes an investigation of the ‘life’ of the curriculum concept ofchildren’s interestsin a preschool practice. The concept ofchildren’s interestsplays a vital role in the Swedish preschool curriculum text and in the preschool field. Strongly inspired by Actor-network theory readings, the paper aims at producing accounts making visible the making of the concept ofchildren’s intereststhrough relations among children, carpets, Minecraft figures, boxes, teachers and schedules in a preschool practice. The paper engages in ethnographic materials generated at a Stockholm preschool over a period of 10 months. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
