| Summary: | The aim of this study was to examine the transition from preschool to preschool class and how teachers cooperate. Furthermore, the aim was to examine if the original purpose of preschool class, to create an easier transition between preschool and primary school, has been accomplished. The method used in this study is qualitative with semi structured interviews conducted with preschool and preschool class teachers in Stockholm and Sundsvall. The material gathered from the interviews was analyzed with Foucault’s theory of power, the concept of continuity, a cooperation model and frame factors. The results show that teachers from preschool and preschool class are in an ongoing power struggle which affects the transition. Due to this power struggle and frame factors like lack of time, a good cooperation is harder to achieve between preschool and preschool class.
