幼児教育アドバイザーによる継続訪問の効果 : 所感の変容の分析から

This study aimed to clarify the changing awareness of the issues, advice, and impressions of the preschool and nursery of early childhood education advisors through continuous visits. The analysis was based on a report written after visits by three advisors. The results showed that, the advisors considered the issues to lie in the simultaneous care and education program, the environment in which children cannot develop their own activities, and the insufficient support from early childhood care and education teachers. The advisors gave advice based on understanding the issues. Specifically, the advice on environment creation was concrete and practical. With appropriate advice from the advisors, the surroundings improved, and the children’s behavior changed. Hence, continuous visits by advisors contribute to the improvement of the quality of early childhood care and education.
