本研究では，X市の保育所・幼稚園の年長担任，小学校の１年担任と特別支援学級担任を対象とした保幼小連携の実態調査を行った。その結果，特別支援学級担任は１年担任よりも保幼小連携の際に活用するツールが必要だと認識していた。さらに，保幼小連携において今後最も必要なことは，「気になる子どもの様子について情報交換する機会」であった。このことから，特別支援学級担任は保護者の願いを含む，個別の情報については詳しい引継ぎが必要だと捉えている。一方で，保幼小連携において現在実施していることについては，３者とも最も高い割合で「就学前に実施される連絡会」が挙げられていた。

The purpose of this study was to explain cooperation between day care centers teachers, preschools teachers and elementary schools teachers of five years old children teachers, first grade teachers and teachers of special needs classrooms in elementary schools in the X city. In the result, teachers of special needs classrooms in elementary schools recognized the need to use the tool when they cooperate between day care centers and preschools. And, the most important thing about cooperation among day care centers, preschools, and elementary schools was “the opportunity to share information on children with special needs.” From this, they think that transition to elementary schools needs more individualized information including parents’ wishes. On another front, five years old children teachers, first grade teachers, and teachers of special needs classrooms in elementary schools conduct“ conference before school age” at the highest rate.
