Przedszkolny plac zabaw z perspektywy dzieci
Kindergarten playground from children’s perspective

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is to draw attention to research conducted in the perspective of children’sstudies showing new possibilities of conceptualizing childhood in the space of scientific discourse.What is important for this current of research is to give voice to children and listen to what theyhave to say about the manifestations of their everyday life. This has been made possible through theuse of elements of Alison Clark’s mosaic approach, such as free conversations with children, theirphotographs and drawing projects of the square they dream of. From the conversations with childrenand the analyses carried out, a “discourse of danger” has emerged which is dominant among teachers,but which children do not perceive as oppression, but rather tend to avoid unwanted behaviourand search for convenient nooks and crannies. The pedagogue’s perspective obliges the reader topay attention to the consequences of the identified discourse, limiting children’s opportunities toacquire important motor and social skills, thus reducing their chances of becoming an independentand responsible subject.
