| Research Abstract |
This research compares the views of childcare workers (nursery school and kindergarten teachers) and elementary school teachers on moral guidance. The subjects of the study are current childcare workers, elementary school teachers, and trainees undergoing childcare and teacher-training courses. They were asked to write freely about what they thought fostered morality and normative consciousness in early childhood. Text mining was used to analyze their output. The results showed that childcare workers tend to emphasize the importance of embracing children's thoughts and feelings, whereas elementary school teachers tend to emphasize moral education goals and guidance contents. In addition, although the distinction in views between childcare workers and elementary-school teachers was echoed in the views of the trainees, the results showed that the trainee childcare workers and teachers tended to prefer direct guidance through rewards and punishments more than current childcare workers.
