Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop teaching materials using the formative arts based on mokuiku in actual childcare settings which foster sensibilities and communication skills of children and child carers and also apply the qualities and abilities nurtured by the end of early childhood to interdisciplinary and interrelated learning centered around the art class at primary school. As a result, new learning possibilities were achieved through teaching materials that bridge nursery and primary schools such as examining communication with others through art works and making materials for mokuiku through on-demand streaming of activities allowing face-to-face community cooperation activities. Videos of these practices were released on the “Wakuwaku Caravan Channel”.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究における研究結果は，これからの保育者養成校で学ぶ学生や保育・小学校の現職教員の再教育（リカレント）への教育的資源として活用されることが考えられる。また，この「木育」による幼小連携を意識した教材の開発を通して，幼児期の終わりまでに育まれた資質・能力を各教科等の特質に応じた学びにつなげ，子どもが新たな感性を育み，コミュニケーション能力を育成するといった造形教材への応用としての可能性が考えられ，幼児と保育者，児童と教員，地域住民，行政といった子育て支援に対する支援活動との関連としての研究に広がりうると考える。
