Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A cross-sectional and longitudinal study was carried out on how the explanation skills of students aiming to become nursery teachers improve. Students underwent five on-site training sessions at locations such as kindergartens during their four-year curriculum. Changes in their explanation skills and knowledge before and after on-site training were investigated. The results show that improvements in explanatory strategies and knowledge about childcare were influenced by not only whether or not the students experienced on-site training, but also by the content of the training, that is, the kind of training they have experienced. Based on these results, we suggest goals appropriate for the different stages of on-site training.
