  • Multivocal perspectives on children’s belonging in peer relationships in early childhood education and care

    Open Access•Merja Koivula, Anu Palojärvi et al.•ARTICLE•Early Years•2026

    The present study explores how children, professionals and parents understand belonging in children’s peer relationships in early childhood education and care (ECEC). The participants in this qualitative research were children aged 3–5 years (n = 34), their parents (n = 9) and professionals (n = 15) from three ECEC groups in Finland. The data were collected through video-cued interviews (Tobin, 2019). The results of the reflexive thematic analysi…

    Open Access•Eija Sevón, Marleena Mustola et al.•ARTICLE•Educational Review•2025

  • Dilemmas Related to Young Children's Participation and Rights: A Discourse Analysis Study of Present and Future Professionals Working with Children

    Open Access•Eija Sevón, Marleena Mustola et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 29

    According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), every child has the right to be heard and express their views in matters that concern them. Yet, participation is one of the most debated aspects of the UNCRC. Although children's participation is a statutory requirement of Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) and schools, educators are often unfamiliar with how to meet the demands of participation. In thi…

  • Why is a live chicken banned from the kindergarten? Two lessons learned from teaching posthuman pedagogy to university students

    Marleena Mustola•ARTICLE•Educational Philosophy and Theory•2019•References: 13

    The hierarchical human-centric paradigm has been criticized by various movements of posthuman philosophy because this paradigm forgets and dismisses nonhuman beings and entities: animals, nature, objects, and technology. When I developed a course called ‘Education and Adaptations of Animal Studies’ for university students in 2015, I learned two lessons in practice. First, many humans, pedagogues, and academics want to hold on to their anthropocen…

  • Reconsidering passivity and activity in children’s digital play

    Open Access•Marleena Mustola, Merja Koivula et al.•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2016•Cited by: 1•References: 8

    The discussion around children’s digital game culture has resulted in two contradictory images of children: the passive, antisocial children uncritically and mechanically consuming digital game content and the active, social children creatively using and interacting with digital game content. Our aim is to examine how these seemingly contradictory ideas of “active” and “passive” children could be considered. By means of empirical examples of chil…
