About
The project was based on two research questions:
- How can participation in study activity characterised by playful approaches have an impact on the professional development process (Bildung) of student teachers?
- How can playful approaches be used to design study activity that invites a playful attitude to study work in teacher education?
Purpose
The project showed that playful approaches to learning and teaching in the Danish teacher education can influence the professional development process (Bildung) of student teachers eg. their way of relating to themselves as designers of playful teaching, differentiation and variation, playful facilitation and children’s playfulness in teaching.
“I have never been introduced to playful approaches before. And what if I had chosen another subject as my third subject, which teacher would I have been? Maybe it's about the fact that I feel that everything I have in me can suddenly be put together in a meaningful way. Now it makes sense to me”
Methods and outcome
Methodologi: design-based research (Barab & Squire, 2004) combined with a narrative approach called self-correcting induction (Boje, 2008; Boje & Rosile). The research process was bound together by a continuous focus on conducting different types of conversations mediated by different actionable methods. A process that allowed abductive, inductive, and deductive approaches.
