Incommensurable tensions facing early childhood education transitions: A collective writing project
This collective writing article addresses transitions into, between and out of early childhood education and care (ECEC) from the standpoint of incommensurability, which entails a lack of a common measure between diverging standards, values and priorities between competing instances involved into a shared matter ( Bird, 2000 ; Chang, 2013 ). We explore incommensurable tensions as non-reconcilable issues that arise between stakeholders, educationa…
Pedagogical practices for the infant-toddler’s first day of transition from home care to early childhood education and care
This study explores educators’ pedagogical practices for and with infant-toddlers who transition from home care to early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Finland, particularly how educators construct transition pedagogy in interactions. Adopting a spatial-relational theoretical approach, the study examines pedagogy as shaped in the relations among educators, newcomers, other children, and the ECEC space. The video-recorded observational dat…
Diversities in transitions: Children transitioning to pre-primary education
The study discusses children's diverse resources and positions during their transition from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to pre-primary education. The ethnographic data were collected in two pre-primary contexts in Finland: early childhood education centres and schools at the beginning of the pre-primary year. Theory-informed thematic analysis produced categories and distinctions of resources, which had different social meanings depe…
Constructing the space of transition within the early childhood education and care pedagogical environment: A child's resources and positions
This article examines how the space of transition is constructed within and linked to the early childhood education and care (ECEC) pedagogical environment during a child's first transition to ECEC. In many studies, this transition has been characterised as a stressful situation in which to cope successfully with the demands of the new environment. In this study, the focus is on the construction of the space of transition and, particularly, on ch…
Relational analysis and the ethnographic approach: Constructing preschool childhood
This article elaborates the relational ontology in an ethnographic study. The aim is to seek relational construction of preschool practice and how children’s positions are constructed in it. The study is based on the understanding that ethnography and relational sociology share the idea that society emerges through repeated relations. The ontological thinking of relational sociology is applied in a micro-level analysis of three episodes from a Fi…
