| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the emotional practice of the early childhood teachers to promote the autonomous problem solving of the young children. To investigate this question, I conducted a Focus Group Interview with Japanese and US teachers using "video-cued multi-vocal ethnography." The results are as follows: (1) Japanese teachers' emotional practice is non-interventional involvement. An important aspect of this professionalism is to be involvement in children for sure without intervening them. (2) Japanese teachers would create an atmosphere by using their eyes, expression and so on. Teachers intend that this atmosphere would convey some their messages to children. For example, these messages mean "I am watching you""I trust you""Don't be worried." (3) Emotionally teachers would like to intervene children and teach what and how to do. However, teachers have to repress their feelings to control their desire to intervene directly in spite of feeling sympathy.
