Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project developed a program for training nursery teacher candidates in Child Welfare Facilities who support for children and families with various needs of increasingly diverse child-rearing families such as abuse and poverty. Based on exploratory learning theory (Engestrom, 2009), we introduced two instructional formats into the program: flipped learning and dialogic practice with simulated parents(SPs). Based on the effects, we optimized the program contents, instructional formats, and number of dialogic practice session. This program not only had an effect on nursery teacher candidates, but also on childrearing support personnel by communities and society who participated as SPs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

この研究の学術的意義はエンゲストロームの探求的学習理論を保育者養成のプログラム開発に適用した点にある。また児童虐待防止活動を含む子育て支援に関して，独自の教授デザインを導入したプログラムを保育者養成教育に展開できる可能性を示唆した点に社会的意義があると考えられる。特に，事前学習教材が子育て支援のテキストとして活用でき，SP対話実習体験が保育者養成のみならず地域の子育て支援人材の研修機会にもなる可能性があることを示した。
