| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research constructed a practical ESD theory cultivating children’s ecological imagination. The theory reconceptualized ecological imagination as ‘the imagination for connection between lives,’ ESD as a process to produce teachers’ and children’s encountering with accompanying lives and to enhance understanding of these lives and environments. In addition, we developed a supporting tool for ESD which visualized the expansion of ecological imagination.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
哲学や環境人文学の分野で構築されてきた「生態想像力」の理論的枠組みを拡張し、幼児期のESDの実践理論へと発展させた。持続可能な社会づくりへ向けた幼児期の教育実践の在り方が模索されるなかで、身近な生命や環境と出会い、出会いについて省察しながら生態想像力を広げていくひとつのモデルが示された。また、支援ツールの開発を行ったことによって、ESD実践を行う保育者が理論と実践を架橋していくための手がかりが提示された。
