Research Abstract

Tree researches have been done as follows.
1. We made video-clips of kindergarten settings and school settings for stimulus by observing, recording and editing. Using multi-voiced visual ethnography method, we collected the data of 64 kindergarten teachers and 63 elementary school teachers and 108 undergraduate students who are majoring in teacher education. The results of comparison between early childhood teachers and elementary school teachers. suggests that kindergarten teachers tend to perceive teaching scenes from the various perspectives, not only cognitive aspect, but also social and emotional aspects. On the contrary elementary teachers perceive children's behavior more detail from the points of goals.
2. We surveyed about the key concepts teacher often refer to the pedagogical reasoning by using free-association recall method. Ninety-two kindergarten teachers and 101 elementary school teachers participated this survey. Comparing the words kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers associated, there are big differences of referent meaning, " understanding children", "construction of learning environment" etc. These differences suggest the differences among these teachers professionality.
3. We collected researches about transition from kindergarten to elementary school and information about connection of both curriculum in East Asian countries (China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong), in United States and in European countries (England, German and Holland). Survey shows that East Asian countries tend to promote project approaches for linking Kindergarten to School and England and German start to reform the way of teaching in 1st graders in elementary schools.
