Abstract [en]

The Swedish revised curriculum emphasised the importance of developing children's adequate digital skills for their future life in a digitised democratic society and made this a mandatory part of preschool teachers' work. Despite this, some preschool teachers are reluctant to implement digital technologies in their pedagogical practice. The present study investigates preschool teachers' views on the use of DP in preschool practice following the 2010 revision of the curriculum. The research is focused on two questions: What are the preschool teachers' views on the use of digital play in their practice? And, what are the possible challenges teachers associate with its integration? In order to understand the preschool teachers' experiences from the use of DP, the Caring, Nurturing, and Teaching framework (Ljung-Djärf, 2008) was applied. The results showed that most preschool teachers using DP in their practices draw upon nurturing and teaching rationales. The primary teachers' objectives were to prepare children for school and life in a democratic digitised society. Thus, they viewed DP as a powerful pedagogical tool for children's learning that complements and enriches the traditional teaching practices. The findings also show that DP offers various opportunities for children's creative and social skills development, such as cooperation, initiative, and problem-solving. Moreover, it enhances children's cultural awareness and facilitates teachers' pedagogical documentation. Despite this, some teachers were still reluctant to use DP in their practice. Among the possible challenges associated with the DP integration was a lack of teachers' knowledge and skills in DP, a lack of a functional pedagogical framework and in-service training, and teachers' firm belief that DP may threaten the traditional preschool practices, which highlights the tension between the traditional and digital play. The knowledge gained during this systematic review of the literature helps to understand better the motives of teachers ' reluctance to include DP in their practice.
