Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to conduct the training group utilizing sandplay, a technique of psychotherapy, to enhance teachers' educational counseling ability, and to verify its effectiveness. In the training group, members experienced sandplay individually and in a group, and (1) changes in teachers' perception before and after the group, (2) the internal transformation process of teachers, and (3) the dynamics and changes of the group were analyzed by questionnaires, interviews, and sandplay works. As a result, it was shown that the training group using sandplay had promoted teachers' understanding and acceptance of oneself and others, so it can be inferred that it is effective in enhancing the abilities necessary for educational counseling.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教育相談体制の充実や教員の教育相談能力の向上は学校現場における喫緊の課題であるが，児童生徒理解やコミュニケーション力といった教育相談的資質を高めるためには教師の自己理解，自己受容，他者への共感的理解が欠かせない。本研究は箱庭を用いたグループ研修が教師の自己理解や他者理解を深める効果をもつことを示し，有効な教育相談研修のモデルを提示するとともに，教育相談的資質の向上における教師自身の体験的理解や内的成長の重要性を示した点においても，今後の教員養成や教師教育のあり方に新たな視座を与えることができたと考える。
