How do preschool teachers talk about pedagogical documentation as a tool to support children’s learning processes? How can this kind of documentation be used in practice in a way that benefits both teachers and children? This presentation is mainly based on the results from a thesis about pedagogical documentation in preschools (Bjervãs 2011). Theories from Bakhtin and Fairclough have been applied, in order to understand the teachers talk about pedagogical documentation and children’s learning processes. The method used to interpret the teachers’ discussions is discourse analysis. Moreover, pedagogical documentation focusing on children's learning processes has been analysed. The documentation is carried out in interaction with the children. The parents of the children involved have consented to the usage of documentation of their children. The utterances are viewed as a part of a context, not as stand-alone utterances. The teachers talk about the documentation as narratives that the children can benefit by. The documentation serves as a communication aid for the children and makes it possible for them to take part in each other’s discoveries. According to the teachers the documentation can contribute to cooperative learning processes and children’s participation. At the same time some teachers emphasise that the teachers are running the risk of disrupting the children’s processes by documenting. Pedagogical documentation has the potential to be a tool that both teachers and children can use to support the children’s learning processes. Whether or not pedagogical documentation is beneficial to the children depends on the choices that the teachers make.
