The aim is to develop, prove and assess role play with artefacts about conflict management in preschool teacher education. Research reveals that role play is an innovative and functional way to teach students about conflict management (Morrison et al., 2013). Artefacts, in form of physical objects, has a long tradition in education, and for young children it is important to use visual artefacts (Almqvist, 2008; Uitto et al., 2021). In today's preschools digital artefacts (often tablets) are commonly used (Marklund, 2020). This study studies role play with artefacts, both physical and digital, concerning conflict management in preschool-teacher education. These roleplays will be developed in versions for campus and for online education, an increasing kind of teacher education and also more common in the covid-19 pandemic situation. As theoretical underpinning experimental learning will be used (Kolb, 1984; Moon, 2004). An important aspect in this project is to develop the assessment and assessment-criteria for the student's practical skills with the support of digital tools. The methods for data collection will be digital inquiries and interviews. The EECERA ethical code will be followed concerning informed consent, confidentiality, non-discriminatory, feedback and respecting the well-being of the participants as subjects with human rights. An important dimension in the project is that the use of role play as an innovative and playful method in the teacher education will inspire the future teachers. In preschools this type of teaching is close to children's play world, and can hopefully inspire their play and teach social values.
