Spelar drama någon roll? : Om betydelsen av drama för de yngsta barnen i förskolan

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the intrinsic value (inner value) of drama for the youngest children (age 1-3) in pre-school. Besides that I have also tried to figure out if drama possible causes playing. By using action research as a method I have conducted an examination at one pre-school where I performed what I called ”drama experiences” with the children. Through my research I have found out the answer to and also gained a deeper understanding for my issue about how children act, react, interact and intra-act within drama. In literature I have used both the phenomenological perspective and the socio-cultural perspective and I have also studied contemporary research about the topic. Based on the results and analysis of my research I have established the potential of drama when it comes to the youngest childrens acting, reacting, interacting and intra-acting. This has also contributed to that I have been able to discern and identify the intrinsic value of drama and how it also can causes playing.
