Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to contribute knowledge about how preschool teachers and special educators describe the importance of the learning environment to promote children's development and learning in a preschool for all. The work further aims to contribute knowledge about how the special educator can contribute with his competence in designing the learning environment for children's development and learning in teaching in preschool. Five special educators and five preschool teachers were interviewed in semi-structured interviews. Five special educators and five preschool teachers were interviewed in semi- structured interviews. The results showed that the availability of special educational competence and trained special educator in the preschool varies and becomes important for how the learning environment is planned in a preschool for all. Depending on how close the special educator is to the activity, the responsibility for designing learning environments is distributed differently. It is each educator's interest, attitude and commitment that governs how the physical, social and pedagogical learning environment is designed in the teaching in a preschool for all. The special educators describe that it is the educators, conscious attitude, attitude and commitment that are decisive for the learning environments. However, based on how the principal creates the conditions for this. The preschool teachers describe that they see themselves as responsible for the design of the learning environments. Special educators and preschool teachers in this study believe that the design of the indoor learning environment is important for children's development and learning in a preschool for all. The special educational implications we have seen are that a conscious attitude, attitude and commitment among the educators in the preschool is significant in learning environments and how accessible the preschool's learning environments will be in a preschool for everyone.
