(Flygtede) børns deltagelse i daginstitutionens hverdagspraksis - En kritisk psykologisk undersøgelse af børneperspektiver på overskridelse af mulighedsrum i hverdagslivet i og på tværs af hjem og daginstitution

The study investigates the everyday life of four children in and across a danish institutional daycare-setting and a (involuntary) ‘House share’, in a small town, in the countryside of Denmark. Through 5 months of participatory practice research with the children as co- researchers, the study investigates what it might mean, to live in and across different institutional settings, arrangements, while also categorized in the historical, political and social disputed category ’refugee-child’ (Shapiro 2017; Rousseau 1994). The study is inspired by different enthographic methodologies and practice reseach and the concrete and situated analysis is carried out by conceptualizing children as participants in social practices (Dreier 2009/2011). The study is grounded in critical psychology - as a psychology from the standpoint of the Subject (Holzkamp 1998; Schraube 2015). And the key concepts are conduct of everyday life, participation and analytical child-perspectives. The concrete participation possibilities is analyses as interlinked in complex dynamics, transitions and movements in the diverse social practices, in which different participants live their live together with others. The study concludes, that different societal structures, make up concrete and significant possibilities and limitations, for the four childrens’ life - for example the analyses shows a situated and structural inequality in relation to the possibility of ‘sharing ones home’ with the other participants in the daycare. The study also involves the grown-ups around the children, as the study conceptualized grown-ups as social conditions for childrens participation in different communities. The study also reflects on different significant ethical considerations, when working with children, and discusses which kind of knowledge Critical Psychological Practice Research can bring. It argues, that if we want to investigate, how children come to conduct their life, it is indeed relevant, for the researcher herself to participate and involve herself in the practice under investigation.
