"The Epistemology of Early Childhood Education" refers to the
educational beliefs constructed, reconstructed and justified within
the social field of early childhood education. Torill Strand here
reports and discusses results from a theoretical and empirical
study on the social production and justification of educational
beliefs within the Norwegian programs of preschool teacher
training. Research methods contain critical discourse analysis and
the material reading lists and interviews with selected authors of
the literature. Strand here holds that knowledge is embedded in
social relations. In exploring these relations she leans on the
sociocultural theory of Pierre Bourdieu and the philosophy of
Charles Sanders Peirce. As Strand's ambition is to debunk the
passive- spectator view of knowledge, the epistemic self reflection
is here a leitmotif. In going beyond doxa and episteme, Strand
rejects the possibility of establishing clear-cut demarcations
between knowledge and society; between research based knowledge and
everyday knowledge; between the object and the subject of
knowledge.
