Abstract
Abstract This study explored how practitioners interpreted educational practices
from the perspective of values in Nordic preschools. Drawing data from group
interviews in five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and
Sweden), practitioners reflected on an observational episode about children dressing
for outdoor play in a Swedish preschool. The research material consisted of extracts
from group interviews in ten preschools (two from each Nordic country). The
research questions included: How do values emerge in practitioners’ interpretations?
What is the interpretive process like, especially in the context of crosscultural
research? The research material was analysed nationally and cross-nationally.
Using Gadamer’s concept of horizons, the study examined how practitioners
made sense of the dressing episode, including the horizons of the text that
attracted the practitioners’ attention and the co-construction of interpretations in the group dialogues. The practitioners employed indirect means more often than direct means to express their values. The group interviews contained themes that were connected to caring, disciplinary, competence and democratic values. The study provided evidence that practitioners shared some core pedagogical ideas and values across Nordic preschools. Differences were apparent between individual practitioners and preschools rather than between the Nordic countries.
