Abstract
The authors conducted a large-scale observation of children’s activities in Finnish day care (cf. http://blogs.helsinki.fi/orientate/). Altogether, 18,815 observations were collected. There were 891 children in Finland participating in the research. In the observation, systematic sampling was used to observe children’s everyday activities. What makes the study interesting in light of the ADHD Report is that the sample included 15 children with ADHD. By merging the observation data with information on whether the children were ADHD or not, it was possible to compare these two groups based on random sample data. The results reveal that children with ADHD encounter a learning environment that is different from other children very early in their development, resulting in different kinds of learning content for these two groups. The results include difficulties, but also possibilities for fruitful interaction.
