Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although it is said that teachers need to observe each child as an individual in their early child education practice, it is not easy to do so. Because one caregiver is responsible for about 30 children and cannot devote themself to only watching their children.
In this situation , Asobihoiku-ron（Theory of Play-centered Child Education and Care）by Hirohisa Ogawa , is the only theory that can proposes a way of decreasing those difficulties. But the actual figure of how this enables them to see each child as an individual has not been cleared. So this research clarifies it and the difficulties they encounter in the process and how they overcome them.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

集団に対して責任を持つことを制度的に余儀なくされている教師にとって、子ども一人一ひとりを見取ることは容易なことではないにもかかわらず、そのための方略や実践知については明らかにされてこなかった。それに対して、この研究によってそのための方略と実践知を明らかにし、集団を相手にしながら、クラス全員の子ども一人ひとりを見取り、その際に遭遇する困難とその克服方法を明らかにすることによって、教師の遊び援助力を向上させるための課題を提示していること。
