Research Abstract |
The main results are that we established the framework as a hypothesis of "Quality in Day Care" especially for children under three and the method how to research the theme which had never done in Japan in spite of the important theme today.Contents of the result of "how to research" are as follows. It is significant as methods for approaching to the Quality of a certain Day-Care center wholly and perspectively (1) to take the category "Identity of High Quality in Day Care" through the analysis of caregivers' and parents' images of "High Quality" , (2) to put the analysis of Day Care practice of 5 year-old-class as the last grade in Day-Care Center upon the analysis of infant class as the starting age of Day-Care Center, (3) to combine the analysis of the practice of infant class with caregivers' and parents' awareness, and results of interview and discussion with them. The theme to study in future is to make our framework and method of the study, "Quality in Day-Care" established as a hypothesis clear more and more.
