KINDERGARTEN SPACE AND AUTONOMY IN CONSTRUCTION: EXPLORATIONS THROUGH TEAM ETHNOGRAPHY IN A FINNISH KINDERGARTEN
Keywords:
Abstract
This research explores the relationship between kindergarten space and the autonomy of children in construction activities. Through the lens of team ethnography, this study examines a Finnish kindergarten setting to understand how the physical environment influences children's autonomy and their engagement in construction play. The findings shed light on the significance of the physical space and its organization in fostering children's autonomy, creativity, and social interaction during construction activities. The study contributes to the understanding of the role of the physical environment in promoting children's autonomy and offers insights for educators and designers in creating supportive spaces for constructive play in early childhood settings.
