Abstract

There is great interest in adopting digital tools in the nursery, and ICT is formally introduced towards the nursery, among other things, through various formulations in the curriculum for kindergarten content and tasks. This is despite the fact that there is little Norwegian research in this area. The study covers two main thematic areas: Theme 1: Digital play, language and interaction. In this context it is interesting and relevant to examine how ICT objects, like digital games, are used in the nursery. Theme 2: Roles and inclusion of child-child and child-adult interaction in which digital multimedia technology are part of the interaction. Here we wish to develop nuanced knowledge of how children benefit from digital technology in contemporary Norwegian kindergartens. Survey data at the national level and qualitative interview data from regions of Hordaland and Rogaland has been collected in the study. Survey data will be made available for further research through Sikt.
