The developmental changes and laterality of walking motion in infant

Masashi WATANABE  Masaru KAGA

The purpose of this study was to clarify the developmental changes and laterality of walking motion in infant. The subjects were118 infants aged from 2 to 6years. We measured relevant walking parameters, i.e., step length, step width, step pace, step length/height, step width/height, and correlated the results with age. The results were summarized as follows.

1)Walking parameters correlated significantly with age, i.e., step length of right(r0.61, p0.01)and left(r0.61, p0.01), step length(right)/height(r0.34, p0.01), step length(left)/height(r0.35, p0.01),step width(right)/height(r=−0.23, p0.05)and step width(left)/height(r=−0.35, p0.01).
2)Step width of right and left, step pace of right and left, step width of right and left/height were not change with aging.
3)About laterality, there were significant differences in step width(p0.01)and step width/height(p0.01)between the right and left. According to ages, step width and step width/height were significant differences between right and left in 2years old(both, p0.05),3years old(both, p0.05),4years old(both, p0.01).

Key words: walking motion, development, laterality, infant

Reform of Nursery School Management and Managerial Competence of Nursery School Manager

Yoshitaka ITO

The purpose of this paper is to consider what is needed to reform nursery school management and what abilities nursery school managers are required to have from the childcare self-government ’s point of view. In this view it is generally expected that based on this childcare self-government, parents, guardians, citizens in the community, nursery school staffs, childcare administrative officials collaborate with each other for the childcare development. Today ’s social well-being reforms, especially some measures taken to prevent the total fertility rate from declining, childcare support policies, decentralization reforms and deregulation policies which have started since the late 1990s, have had significant influences on the systems and management itself of nursery schools. With the rapid changes of environments closely connected with nursery school management, the evaluation of the managerial competence of nursery school managers has become necessary. In order to achieve these objectives, the following measures must be carried out. Firstly, professionalization of nursery school managers, the systems of qualifications as managers, of the appointment and employment of managers, of educating and training managers must be established. Secondly, nursery school managers are required to have their original management concepts and the abilities to set up their original vision. Thirdly, nursery school managers are expected to have practical managerial competence and leadership. From the viewpoint of the realization of childcare self-government, reforming nursery school management has been called for. For the purpose, all the staff concerned with childcare should take part in the nursery school management.

Key Words: nursery school management, nursery school manager, managerial competence childcare self-government, parental participation

Kanae SUZUKI  Takashi TAKAHASHI  Akira MOROOKA  Takashi MUTO

This study examined off-the-job training for leaders of child-rearing assistants and examined their training needs. We sent a questionnaire to 500 organizations nationwide, including municipal corporations, NPOs, self-help circles for raising children, and teachers’ colleges that offered training courses, and asked about the purpose, program, subsequent needs, and evaluation methods for the course. The results showed that only 17% of the organizations offered any training course. The purpose, contents, and subsequent needs differed with the major participants (e.g., child-raising assistants in the community, circle leaders, parents who raise young children, or those interested in child welfare). Almost all of the providers evaluated the extent to which the objectives were attained, and the comprehension of the participants. Seventy-six percent of the organizations conducted some analyses of their participants. Based on the results, we propose that training programs consider the qualifications of the participants and that we need to develop investigative methods to evaluate the responses of participants multilaterally.

Keywords: child-raising assistants, off-the-job training of leaders, evaluating a needs-based course

Based on the Nationwide Investigation of Actual Conditions Result

Yumiko TAJIRI  Takashi MUTO

The nationwide investigation of actual conditions of the natural environment of the kindergarten and the nursery school and their child care activities was done, aiming for the better practice of “child care close to nature ”and for the better way to education about “area nature ”in teachers ’training schools. The playground of the kindergarten was comparatively abundant in nature, and their frequency of strolling was lower than that of the nursery school. The natural environment of the playground of the nursery school was not enough, but the frequency of strolling seeking for the natural environment outside the playground was high. Moreover, it was clear that there would be a possibility to improve the frequency of the child care activities by abundant natural environments of the playground.

Key words: child care close to nature, natural environment, nationwide investigation, playground strolling outside the playground

A historical study on the preschools ’spread in prior to the Second World War with the number of preschools and the enrollment ratio as indexes to find factors generating regional differences

Makoto KOBARI

This study is aimed at analyzing historical circumstances of preschools ’spread and expansion in prior to the Second World War with the number of preschools and the enrollment ratio as indexes to find factors generating regional differences. The more kindergarten increased nationwide as a result of the governmental ordinance (Kindergarten Act in 1926), the more exposed the differences in establishment mode between areas became and the more wider regional gaps in the enrollment ratio became, and from the 1930s especially, the regional gaps have largely depended on each area’s industrial structures. The elitism of kindergarten spread with regional variations while including issues such as differences between regional industrial structures and social strata. It is suggested that the spread and expansion of preschools are possibly related to the hegemony of the specific social class.

Key Words: the enrollment ratio of preschools, spread and diffusion of preschools, regional differences

The targeted subjects were Kindergarten A teachers and parents from 2000 to 2004 .The analysis was performed through questionnaire surveys to teachers from Kindergarten A and other kindergarten teachers. These were classified into years of teaching experiences and analyzed the quality and profession as kindergarten teachers. For the parents, questionnaires were given to those involved with Educational Volunteers. The answers to the four questions analyzed the understanding of children by the parents and their interaction with Kindergarten A. Through the School Creation Project, the kindergarten teachers developed their own professional perspectives; they improved their quality as teachers as well as their practical knowledge. The curricula at Kindergarten A met the needs of the times. Parents grasped the lifestyle of their children in the kindergarten, and they seemed to mature together with their children.

Development of childcare persons’ efficacy scale to develop the abilities
which young children keep good relationships with others

Osamu NISHIYAMA

The purpose of this study is to develop the scale of childcare persons ’efficacy on childcare contents “human relations ”, and is to inspect the applied possibility of the new scale for improving quality of childcare. At first, as the preliminary investigation I asked the answer what is the demanded power to childcare persons in directing/supporting from the viewpoint of 64 childcare persons (who are the nucleus to the veteran). Next, I asked the answer by 7-point scale rating on 80 items in directing/supporting of childcare contents “human relations ” for 276 childcare persons, choosing 313 students who are willing to be childcare persons. As the result, such 12 items were selected carefully including contents “construct the basis of human relations” “grasp children’s growth from the viewpoint of development” “train basic habits of living and attitude” “improve the relations of each children” “support the expansion of their relations” and “support the growth of their ego” (I named CPE-HR 12). In addition, the enough reliability and validity were shown. Therefore, I was able to show the new scale broadly for applying as a tool of their self-study from students aiming to be childcare persons to the childcare person who are working now. I showed a practical model to be useful for improving the ability of childcare persons and proposed to use this scale finally.

Key Words: childcare contents “human relations”, childcare persons’ efficacy, quality of childcare

The Moral Education in Kindergartens in the Meiji Era
Centering on the Story-telling on Morality

Sugako FUTAMI

This article tries to examine the story-telling on morality as a moral education in kindergartens in the relation with the social situation in the Meiji Era. This study classifies the social situation in the Meiji Era into 3 stages, a period of introduction of Western culture, a period of revival of Confucian ethics and a period of the rise of nationalism, and reviews the story- telling on morality in each period. The following sources will be used to study the content of story-telling on morality for each period: 1) story-telling materials on morality at the kindergarten attached to Tokyo Women’s Teachers’ School for the first period, and 2) a book titled “Youchien-shoho” for the second period, 3) articles found in magazines for the kindergarten teachers in Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe and 4) story-telling materials on morality at the Shoei Kindergarten for the third period. While elementary schools were developed as public schools, early childhood education was carried by private kindergartens. The moral education through the story-telling in kindergartens during the Meiji Era shows a strong influence of the political and social situation of the time. Public kindergartens seemed to lead the trend of moral education throughout the Meiji era and private kindergartens, many of which were established in the period of the rise of nationalism, practiced moral education based on nationalism and militarism. On the other hand Christian kindergartens sustained the concept of developing personality of children that aimed to build self-trust and independence. At one point Miss Howe fused the story of creation with the story of the Emperor Jinmu as a compromise with the Japanese ethic. This topic is to be examined in the future.

A Study on Infant Education in “Immanuel Kant ’s Lecture-Notes on Pedagogy”:
Aspects on the German Acceptance of“Emile ”in the 18th Century

Motoki FUJII

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the idea of infant education in Immanuel Kant Lecture-Notes on Pedagogy in 1803. This book was edited by Theodor Rink, who was one of Kant’s pupils. This paper analyzes the process in which Kant formed his original idea on this theme, by examining 1) the influence of Emile, written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1762 ,and 2) Kant ’s concept of “development” (“Entwicklung”).1) Emile is well-known as the most influential book to Kant from the 1760s and the 1770s. This book commend the importance of negative education (natural education) in the early childhood. Kant wholly accepts the basic idea of negative education in this book.2) As for the word “development”, he limits its definition to what concerns “nature”. On the other hand, to be cultivated, civilized, and moralized are regarded not as development, but as“ the mission of mankind”.

Key words: Immanuel Kant, Infant education, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, development, nature

Life Education for Young Children A Consideration through Picture Books

Masako TAKAUCHI

In modern society where the direct experiences of life and death are becoming less and less frequent, recognition of the meaning of “life” and “death” of living creatures appears to be gradually fading away not only among adults, but also among children. There is no reference in the field of practical study presenting concrete methods of “life” and “death” education for young children. However, in schools for young children where religious education, for example Christian education, is practiced, gentleness towards weak things, noting the dignity of life, and thinking of absent among the chief points of education which are encouraged. In the present paper, the author presents the changes in children’s words and attitudes to life and death drawn from one year ’s observational research.

The Perception Gap Concerning Curriculum among Teachers and Parents of Day Care Center, Kindergarten and Elementary School Children

Sayoko KOBAYASHI

This research aims to promote the smooth transition for children from day care and kindergarten to elementary school, by analyzing the different perceptions concerning curriculum among these children’s teachers and parents. Three factors, “Attitude”, “Self-Realization”, and “Play Activity” were extracted as a result of the factor analysis, resulting in the clarification of the following two points. 1. Day care center teachers think that more severe training is being given at the day care center than at the elementary school. Therefore, the children from day care centers are expected to have a smoother transition to elementary school than their counterparts from kindergarten who have less severe training. 2. Although all the parents think that severe training should be done at elementary school, there are differences in their expectations of training content. Parents who sent their children to kindergarten consider “Attitude” and “Play Activity” development to be more important than “Self-Realization” in elementary school. On the other hand, those parents who sent their child to day care centers expect “Attitude” training to be the focus of the three.

Key Words: kindergarten, day care center, elementary school, curriculum, transition to elementary school
