A key topic of concern for Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) researchers and practitioners in Sweden is if and how Swedish Reggio Emilia-inspired pedagogical documentation can be used to fulfill curricular expectations concerning documentation in relation to follow-up, evaluation and development in preschool. Yet no literature review has been done on this topic. Thus, the present study is to review the existing literature on this topic in order to investigate how Reggio Emilia-inspired pedagogical documentation has been used in relation to meet the expectations and requirements of the revised curriculum in 2010 among the Swedish contexts. Nine peer-reviewed articles were identified and analyzed through. Review results show that the use of Reggio Emilia-inspired pedagogical documentation in Sweden is contradictory when it comes to preschool teachers’ interpretations on learning and children’s participation in the documentation practices in preschool curriculum in relation to teachers’ professional development and children’s participation in the documentation practices. This review provides a clear picture of tensions and contradictions related to how Reggio Emilia-inspired pedagogical documentation does and does not conform with the curriculum requirements and expectations. The review also addressed that more research is needed in the future on parental role in Reggio-inspired pedagogical documentation practices.
