Etikk i praksis: Barn med samspillsvansker og medvirkning i barnehagen

Abstract

Title: Ethics in practice: Children who have difficulties interacting and their participation in day-care centres. Abstract: In recent years there has been a trend promoting "children’s right to participation". The point of departure for the article is qualitative data material collected from three day-care centres in Norway. The main objective has been to illuminate the choices the staff have and the dilemmas they face in their day-to-day practice when it comes to children who have interaction difficulties and their opportunities to participate. Findings: The practice is action-oriented. Actions, dilemmas and discretionary assessments are related to consequential- and deontological-ethics reasons.
