Watch the video to learn how Dr. Kati Rintakorpi from Finland explains the fundamentals of pedagogical documentation.
Dr Kati Rintakorpi defines pedagogical documentation to describe the process where various activities are documented in some way, and these documents are reflected, reviewed, and discussed to develop early childhood education or culture. Documentation as such has a long tradition in early childhood education, but what is essential is that these documents are taken from folders, cameras, and tablets and discussed. What these documents mean for children's learning, well-being, and participation. Documentation can be considered pedagogical when there is a discussion, and documents are reflected with the children as well as the parents.
