Our qualitative study is designed around three linked research questions. In each of four settings, we set out to explore:
What reclaimed resources are used?
How are reclaimed resources used?
Why are reclaimed resources used?
The first question, of what resources are used, is simply about identifying the types of resources that are available and in use in each early years setting that can be considered to be 'reclaimed'.
The second question relates to pedagogical uses of the resources: how reclaimed materials are offered to children; and how children play with reclaimed materials.
The third and final question explores the
importance and significance of these resources. We are interested in staff perceptions of reclaimed materials and the reasons behind their use. We are particularly interested in notions of education for sustainability.
