The role of gender in multisensory reading: Children's engagement with olfaction-enhanced digital books
The study explores the effect of olfactory enhancements on children's engagement with digital books and examines potential gender differences in their responses. Grounded in multisensory learning and affordances, the study hypothesised that olfactory cues would enhance children’s engagement during shared reading. The sample consisted of 65 Norwegian-speaking children aged 4–5 from five different early childhood education and care centres (ECEC), who experienced both olfaction-enhanced and standard digital books in a within-subjects design. Results revealed significantly higher engagement across persistence, enthusiasm, compliance, overall engagement, and diverse facial responses when children interacted with the olfaction-enhanced book. No gender differences in engagement were observed, which suggests that multisensory design may offer inclusive opportunities for engaging young readers. This study contributes to emerging discussions on how sensory-rich features in digital texts might support early literacy experiences and enhance children’s enjoyment of reading. Implications for educational practice and policy include the recommendation for thoughtful integration of diverse, multimodal texts into early childhood education to foster inclusive and meaningful engagement with reading.

Exploring the sense of smell in shared digital book reading: An experiment
Shared book reading during early childhood contributes to children's development in many important ways. This small-scale experiment, the first of its kind in the emerging field of olfactory research, explores whether reading a digital book with accompanying smell stimulation has a measurable effect on children's engagement, vocabulary acquisition, story comprehension, and overall interest in reading and smell. The study was conducted with 65 4- and 5-year-old Norwegian-speaking children, attending ECEC centers. Olfactory stimulation did not produce higher scores on post-experiment vocabulary and story comprehension, only the control variables of gender and prior vocabulary knowledge significantly predicted vocabulary and story comprehension scores. However, children's engagement was higher for stories with accompanying olfactory stimulation. Future research could integrate odour release into the reading device to not disrupt the reading process, and more reliably test the hypothesis that olfactory stimulation is conducive to reading engagement and learning outcomes.

Norwegian Research on ECEC Quality from 2010 to 2021—A Systematic Scoping Review
This review concerns how quality in ECEC is thematized and examined in Norwegian research published in 2010–2021. The review contributes to developing relevant professional knowledge and insight into what quality in ECEC is, should be or can be. A systematic scoping review includes 97 empirical studies of quality in the Norwegian ECEC context. The results show an increase in studies addressing quality after the year 2017. Most studies use interviews and observations, i.e., qualitative data. Research based on quantitative studies mainly applies to questionnaires, whereas multi-method designs occur with the third greatest frequency. The majority of the studies are descriptive or explore relationships. A few studies concern method development, interventions or reviews of the literature. ECEC staff and ECEC teachers are the most common informants. Two-thirds of the studies included were published in English, and only one-third were published in Norwegian. Thematically, process quality emerges as the most studied dimension of quality, dominated by investigating the aspect of staff–child interactions. About one-third of the studies investigate structural quality, with most attention paid to the physical environment and the organization of the ECEC provisions. Less research is directed at result (outcome) quality and curriculum quality. This overview contributes to increased knowledge about how quality is understood and used in research, as an essential prerequisite for creating a safe and sound everyday life for children in ECEC.

Experiment protocol: Exploring the sense of smell in digital book reading
This paper outlines the background and design, and their rationale, for conducting a small-scale experiment to examine the effect of olfactory stimulation on children's reading outcomes. The theoretical underpinnings of the study and its significance for the reading field are outlined, followed by a detailed description of the study procedure, design, measures, and instruments. Sixty-six Norwegian children will be recruited to participate in shared book reading sessions with a specially designed digital olfactory book. We test the hypothesis that olfactory-enhanced reading increases children's engagement in the reading activity and through this engagement, will increase their vocabulary learning, story recall, and overall interest in reading and smell. The study has important implications for children's reading, olfaction media research, and design studies.

Inside Out: A Scoping Review on Optimism, Growth Mindsets, and Positive Psychology for Child Well-Being in ECEC
Early social and emotional development is foundational for children’s health, education, well-being, and later adjustment in society. It is also a cornerstone of positive psychology—the exploration of human flourishing at an individual, community, and societal level. Habitual explanatory styles (e.g., mindsets and optimistic thinking) have an impact on human well-being and development and are often acquired during early childhood. These explanatory styles may be influenced by regular interactions with significant adults outside of the family setting. However, few studies have focused on the relationship between optimism, mindsets, and well-being of children in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) contexts. This scoping review systematically explores and maps out the literature on optimism, growth mindsets, and positive psychology with young children in ECEC. It identifies literature reporting qualitatively or quantitatively on theory or programs and interventions including optimism, growth mindset, and positive psychology in young children, reporting or implying a mechanism of change for the well-being of young children, and published between 1995 and 2021.

Interaction-quality and children’s social competence in Norwegian ECEC.
This study investigated whether interaction quality in toddler groups, when children were age three, was associated with changes in children’s social competence from age three to age five years in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). ECEC groups (n = 206) were observed with the Infant/ Toddler Environment Rating Scale Revised (ITERS-R). The subscale Interaction was used for this study, including four items: supervision of play and learning; peer interaction; staff-child interaction; and discipline. Children’s social-emotional competence was rated by ECEC teachers using the Norwegian Lamer Social Competence in Preschool scale (LSCIP) with six dimensions: prosocial behavior, self-control, assertiveness, adjustment, empathy, and fairness. Multilevel models were applied to investigate the associations between the ITERS-R scale and social-emotional competence at age three and age five. Results showed an association of interaction quality with empathy at T1, and a marginally significant association between interaction quality and self-control at T2. No other associations were found between interaction quality and social-emotional competence. The paper discusses why the associations between interaction quality and outcomes are limited and the need to revise and expand quality measures especially in Norwegian ECEC. This study also stresses the need to further investigate quality of interactions between staff and children, and its associations with children outcomes.

The relationship between structural factors and interaction quality in Norwegian ECEC for toddlers
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between two structural
factors of quality: organisation form (stable groups versus fexible groups) and staf–
child ratio, in relation to interaction quality in toddler groups in Norwegian early childhood
education and care (ECEC). Data were collected from 206 kindergarten groups
in the period from 2013 to 2015. Interaction quality was measured through the infant/
toddler environment rating scale-revised subscales, Interaction, listening and talking,
and program structure. A two-way MANOVA revealed that organisation form with
small, stable groups were related to higher interaction quality, while the staf–child
ratio and interaction quality varied depending on diferent content dimensions. These
fndings have clear implications for policy and the training of ECEC staf.

Evaluation of the Lamer social competence in preschool scale
The Lamer Social Competence in Preschool Scale (LSCIP) has been widely used in Norway to assess children’s social competence; however, the six-factor structure has not been validated since the scalewas developed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the structure of the LSCIP using confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses. The results show that the original model has a nearly adequate fit according to model fit criteria, but also suggest the need for revisions to achieve a better model. The study contributes to the further development of the LSCIP as a measurement tool that can be used to measure children’s social competence in both research and practice.

Barnehagen som lærende organisasjon: bruk av nære læringsformer som veiledning og simulatortrening i forhold til kompetanseutviklingen for assistentene
FoU i praksis 2013. Artikkelsamling fra konferanse om praksisrettet FoU i lærerutdanning, - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv
Framtidens barnehage (Meld. St. 24) peker på at det må satses mer systematisk på kompetanseutvikling for å sikre et minimum av barnehagefaglig kompetanse hos ansatte uten relevant utdanning og erfaring. Kompetansestrategien (KD 2013) omfatter satsning på barnehagen som lærende organisasjon, og har som sitt mål å sikre langsiktig planlegging og økt deltakelse i kompetanseutviklingstiltak. En barnehage som en lærende organisasjon, kjennetegnes ved at man tar i bruk nære og fjerne læringsformer. De nære læringsformene som vi undersøker i prosjektet, er simulatortrening og veiledning. I denne deskriptive statistiske undersøkelsen var målet å finne ut hvilken type kunnskap assistentene syntes de har behov for, og hvordan simulatortrening og veiledning brukes i barnehagene. Danning utpeker seg som det området assistentene har minst kunnskap om. Videre er det 39 % som ikke har opplevd at barnehagen tar i bruk simulatortrening som læringsform. Systematisk gruppeveiledning viste seg til å være en populær læringsform i barnehagene i Telemark (41 %). I Buskerud brukes denne formen av veiledningen i 32%av barnehagene. Over halvparten av barnehager i Buskerud (54,5 %) og 35 % av barnehager i Telemark bruker både spontan og systematisk veiledning. Spontan veiledning er den formen for veiledningen som blir minst brukt.

Læringsmiljø i skole og barnehage: Episode 5: Den nye barnehageloven
[Internet]
1.januar 2021 fikk vi en ny barnehagelov. Der har det kommet inn et kapittel om psykososialt barnehagemiljø som sier at barn skal ha det trygt og godt i barnehagen. Det er også innført en aktivitetsplikt som gjelder ved mistanke om at barn ikke har det trygt og godt. Ingrid Midteide Løkken har lang erfaring fra barnehage, men har også undervist på barnehagelærerutdanningen og jobbet med forskning. Nå har hun vært med på å skrive en bok om barnehageloven. Programleder Torunn Helene Fredriksen snakker med henne om den nye loven og hva den betyr i praksis for barnehagene.

The relationship between structural factors and interaction quality in Norwegian ECEC for toddlers
[Conference Lecture]. Event
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between two structural quality factors for ECEC-provisions, (1) organization (stable groups versus flexible groups) and (2) staff-child ratio (staff per child), and interaction quality in toddler groups in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). Stable groups (SG) have a clear and a relatively constant composition of the child group over time, while flexible groups (FG) have a shared-interest area with a rather temporary and dynamic composition of child (sub-) groups. The Norwegian Kindergarten Act does not provide binding regulations on how many assistant teachers should be in a group, but the recommendation is one staff member (including both assistants and teachers) per three children under the age of three. Data were collected in 206 ECEC provision groups, including 1211 children in the period from 2013 to 2015. Structural quality factors were registered through questionnaires to the pedagogical leaders of the units. Interaction quality was operationalized through three of the subscales of the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scales–Revised (ITERS-R); Interaction, Lis-tening and talking and program structure. A two-way MANOVA revealed that small, stable groups and a staff-child ratio of three or less children per staff member were independently related to higher interaction quality. These findings have clear implications for policy and the training of kindergarten staff. It is im-portant that they organize their groups, with three or fewer children per staff and if they organize their groups in SG.
