Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the research is "building a connection curriculum through creative movement and dance education".The situation of art education and childcare cooperation in Reggio Emilia was clarified.In the city, Reggio Nara (art festival) is held to share the experience of creating and watching together from infants to the elderly. SEI can be set up in multiple locations in the city, and in cooperation with the Maraguzzi Center, the educational support needed by children can be used in multiple layers.
On the other hand, we conducted a participant observation survey and interview survey of two "Forest kindergarten" in Germany. As a result, what is important in early childhood is to develop sensibilities from the environment, express freely with the body, and play with friends.It is pointed out that such experiences enhance the sense of self-competence, fully demonstrate one's strength even in elementary school, and lead to motivation for learning.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

接続カリキュラムは、幼稚園と学校という「線」としての繋がりだけではなく、保護者や地域社会全体という「面」で子どもたちを支える地域全体でのネットワーク形成が必要である。レッジョ・エミリア市の街全体で生涯にわたり、その人らしく表現活動が行えるような体制を明らかにできたことは本研究の成果である。
また、身体表現のカリキュラムとして多様な「もの」を活用して創造的な身体表現活動の具体的な有用性を示した。幼小連携に留まらず、生涯教育を見通し、心が動くような環境を整え、未満児から共に体で表現する活動を楽しみ、共感しあう経験を繰り返すことが重要であり、その人らしく生き続ける社会の実現に向け、社会的意義が大きい。
