Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

子育てにおける生活体験は，体験の集積にとどまらず，「発達資産(Developmental Assets)」を形成する要素となる。加えて，園ごとに子どもの生活や親の教育意識に差異があることから，保育は，幼児の育ちだけでなく，親の学びにも寄与する営為ともなる。
したがって，幼児教育・保育は「形成」を「統御」する意図的な働きかけ「教育」の機能を有しており，幼児と親の生活全体を総合的に把握することが求められる。その上で，質の高い保育に向けた方策として，親同士や親と保育者の協働的関係を基盤とした「子育てコミュニティ」を形成し，生活の自覚化や子ども理解深化のための「学び」をいかにつくり出すかが問われる。
