Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we examine the expertise required for nursery school and kindergarten teachers in modern society by clarifying the factors of self-formation at their turning points through their recollections of their own experiences of turning points. Specifically, the first step is to fill in the lifeline chart with a vertical axis that gives "a sense of efficacy of nursery school and kindergarten teachers," which is deeply related to their growth; to conduct a semi-structured interview to obtain insight into the timing, factors, and processes of their turning points, using the chart as an incentive; and to analyze the obtained language data using SCAT. As a result, the relationship between three categories and the transfer was defined as the driving factor of the turning points, which indicated that nursery school and kindergarten teachers recognized their turning points as a process consisting of the following six phases.
