ABSTRACT

The Norwegian preschool framework plan (Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training [2017. Framework Plan for Kindergartens. https://www.udir.no/globalassets/filer/barnehage/rammeplan/framework-plan-for-kindergartens2-2017.pdf]) establishes that preschools are to be an arena for daily physical activity. Preschool is an important arena for children's physical activity, as many children spend much time in preschool every day. The present study aims to examine the views of staff members and their collective awareness and practice when promoting physical activity for four-to-six-year-olds in two preschools. The findings and discussion in this article are based on focus group interviews in two preschools where the children in one of these institutions (the high-activity preschool) have a higher physical activity level on average than the children in the other preschool (the low-activity preschool). The data is analysed within a sociocultural theory framework, and the analysis reveals that the deliberate and active use of the preschool's outdoor area and the planning and organisation of the activities, which are based on a shared view on the significance of the physical activity, and active adults, who participate in the children's activity and play, are elements that contribute to the physical activity level in the high-activity preschool.

摘要

挪威学前教育框架计划（挪威教育和培训局 [2017. 幼儿园框架计划。https://www.udir.no/globalassets/filer/barnehage/rammeplan/framework-plan-for-kindergartens2-2017.pdf] ) 规定幼儿园将成为日常体育活动的场所。学前班是儿童体育活动的重要场所，因为许多孩子每天在学前班上花费大量时间。本研究旨在检查工作人员在促进两所幼儿园 4 至 6 岁儿童体育活动时的观点及其集体意识和实践。本文中的调查结果和讨论基于对两个幼儿园的焦点小组访谈，其中一个机构（高活跃度幼儿园）的儿童平均身体活动水平高于另一家幼儿园的孩子（低-活动学前班）。数据在社会文化理论框架内进行分析，分析表明，基于对体育活动意义的共同观点，对幼儿园户外区域的有意和积极使用以及活动的规划和组织，以及积极参与儿童活动和玩耍的成年人是有助于高活动学龄前体力活动水平的因素。
