| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to examine how mobile and stationary pedagogues experience the cooperation between the two units and how the pedagogues perceive the organizational conditions for managing a dual unit. Furthermore is the study also examine whether there are any different perceptions of working methods in each other's activities and if this has an impact on the children at preschool. In order to be able to answer these questions, I have chosen to make qualitative interviews at two different stationary preschools and two different mobile units/buses. I have interviewed four pedagogues, two from stationary units and two from mobile units. In my study I can see patterns in that bus pedagogues perceive themselves as be an ”own preschool” or ”own island” where they express "take care" of themselves. Nor do they perceive that they need to adapt to what’s happening on the preschool, for example, in case of illness. But they have a need to belong to the "house" when it comes to getting help during planning times. The stationary pedagogues perceive as the bus pedagogues do not see the entire preschool as a common organization that the bus pedagogues only cares for their own needs. The stationary pedagogues perceive that the mobile pedagogues exclude themselves but the mobile pedagogues perceive that they get excluded. The result of this study points that management should be aware of the strong impact of previous traditions and approaches in a working group or individual. Without clear leadership, too much space is given to the pedagogues own "profit-making" purposes, which can have an impact on the children's opportunities and to become in the preschool environment.
