Abstract/Notes: Från att ha varit en tämligen marginell företeelse vid 1900-talets början, har förskolan blivit en angelägenhet för en stor del av den svenska befolkningen. Idag deltar mer än 90 procent av alla barn mellan två och sex år i offentligt finansierad förskole- och barnomsorgsverksamhet. Avsikten med föreliggande antologi är att belysa olika aspekter av denna avgörande utveckling. Bland författarna märks både de som bidragit till att definiera forskningsfältet, såväl nationellt som internationellt, och de vars bidrag illustrerar mer sentida utvecklingstendenser inom området. I fokus för antologin står tre teman som varit centrala både i förskolans historia och dess historieskrivning: stat, yrkeskår och individ. Bland de ämnen som behandlas återfi nns den svenska barnträdgårdsrörelsens historia, Montessoripedagogiken reception under mellankrigstiden, utvecklingen av pedagogiska leksaker och den statliga televisionens betydelse för förskolesektorns expansion. Tack vare den inledande introduktionen till förskolans historieskrivning, och den avslutande bibliografi n med närmare 200 poster, utgör volymen också en god introduktion till ett mycket vitalt forskningsfält. [From being a rather marginal phenomenon at the beginning of the 20th century, preschool has become a matter for a large part of the Swedish population. Today, more than 90 percent of all children between the ages of two and six participate in publicly funded preschool and childcare activities. The purpose of the present anthology is to shed light on various aspects of this crucial development. Among the authors are both those who have contributed to defining the field of research, both nationally and internationally, and those whose contributions illustrate more recent development trends in the field. The focus of the anthology is three themes that have been central to both the preschool's history and its history writing: state, profession and individual. Among the topics covered are the history of the Swedish kindergarten movement, the Montessori pedagogy reception during the interwar period, the development of educational toys and the importance of state television for the expansion of the preschool sector. Thanks to the introductory introduction to preschool history writing, and the concluding bibliography with almost 200 entries, the volume is also a good introduction to a very vital field of research.]

Abstract/Notes: This article examines how leaders in public, private, and hybrid educational systems manage competing pressures in their institutional environments. Across all systems, leaders responded to system-specific puzzles by (re)building systemwide educational infrastructures to support instructional coherence and framed these efforts as rooted in concerns about pragmatic organizational legitimacy. These efforts surfaced several challenges related to educational equity; leaders framed their responses to these challenges as tied to both pragmatic and moral organizational legitimacy. To address these challenges, leaders turned to an array of disparate government and nongovernment organizations in their institutional environments to procure and coordinate essential resources. Thus, the press for instructional coherence reinforced their reliance on an incoherent institutional environment.
