Abstract    In this thesis, my aim was to investigate how preschool teachers view their involvement  in children's free play. In order to answer this, I chose to do semi-structured interviews  with four preschool teachers in three different preschools. My interviews has revealed  similarities and support for as how history of research looks at the involvement of  educationists. Both research and my results stresses the importance of being active in  children's free play and to be a supportive teacher, particulary in conflict situations. For  those children who have difficulty entering into the free game its the educationists task  to co-play and help the children find the game. Teachers are involved as observers, but  the controller does not steer towards specific knowledge objectives. Teachers are on  hand to guide the activities towards a development-friendly free play.
