Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on the "Approach Curriculum" that is created for the purpose of connecting early childhood education to education after school age, and examines its content and method based on field surveys in Japan and New Zealand. It was suggested that the process of connection was established in New Zealand, and that the utilization of children's centers as local resources would lead to new developments in the creation of "Approach Curriculum" in Japan. The results of this study indicated the necessity of simultaneously examining the quality of the structure and the quality of recognition among the people involved in the preparation of the "Approach Curriculum."

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は「アプローチ・カリキュラム」の作成において課題の1つに挙げられる「スタート・カリキュラム」との接続において、幼児教育と学齢期以降の教育との直接的な接続ではなく、それらを外側から間接的に結びつける地域資源としての児童館の役割に着目し検討を行った点に独自性がある。また、「アプローチ・カリキュラム」の新たな展開過程についてニュージーランドでの実践を基に内容面から情報を提供できた点に社会的意義がある。
