Förskollärares uppfattningar av stora barngrupper och dess konsekvenser : En kvalitativ studie om förskollärares arbetssituation

Sammanfattning: This study is about preschool teacher´s children´s groups experience of large children´s grups in preschool and what it´s concequences. In my view there is little research on the subject of large children´s groups in preschool and therefore I want to contribute with knowledge. I have studied how preschool teachers decribe their experiences and reactions, children´s reactions and educational consequences of large groups. To find answer to the questions, I chose qualitative interviews and these were conducted with five preschool teachers. In order to investigate how preschool teachers experience the phenomenon, I have used Antonosky´s theory and a central concept that I have used is sense of coherence.The results showed that the impact of stress on preschool teachers varied depending on the sense of coherence they experienced. It was found that the preschool teachers  were affected by stress through emotions of frustration, inadequacy, fatigue and that they could not do what they planned. When I aksed what could be donet o make it better, the answer was that number of children in the child group should decrease.
