Renewal of pre-primary education as an example of user-centric services and resource integration in the public sector

This paper analyzes an integrative education pilot carried out in Finland. The pilot encouraged initiatives of preschool children and fostered the broadening of learning environments. As the pilot content was the creation of children’s own game, the study also exemplifies the opportunities of digitalization. The research methods were observation and interviews, and the results highlight the service perspective in a field in which most earlier studies have been based on pedagogical research.
