Nyanlända barns mottagande och inkludering i förskolan

Sammanfattning: The purpose of the study is to contribute to knowledge about how preschool teachers work with inclusion with newcomers, who do not know the Swedish language. The study is based on the special education perspectives where the descriptors of the preschool teachers are analyzed on the basis of these perspectives. The study was conducted with semi structured interviews as a quality method for acquiring knowledge about preschool teachers’ descriptions about their inclusion and reception practices. The study shows that preschools are positive to accept newcomers and include those in the preschool. However, it appears that there are shortages in resources to offer the best opportunity for newcomers inclusion when the Swedish language is missing. Preschool teachers emphasize the importance of respectful relationships with parents in order to gain their trust.
