Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the uniqueness of kindergarten education in the early stages of the American kindergarten movement by Elizabeth P. Peabody, and kindergarten education in connection with primary education by Patty S. Hill and Alice Temple in the period of expansion and development. Considered reform. Through these considerations, I studied how to ensure the independence and uniqueness of kindergartens and elementary schools in the period of connection between early childhood education and primary education, and how to devise curricula and other measures for a smooth connection. In addition, I consider Dewey's influence behind the design of the kindergarten curriculum to connect with primary education, and I refer to Ella V. The educational practice was also considered. Through the consideration, I clarified the logic of the connection of "experience".

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
19世紀後半から20世紀初頭にかけてのアメリカ幼稚園運動における幼稚園の位置づけと性格の変遷を、運動の先駆者の教育思想、フレーベル主義幼稚園と進歩主義幼稚園双方によるそれぞれに対する批判の論点を中心に研究を行ったが、アメリカは、幼-小接続が比較的円滑に行われた先行事例でもある。こうした意味合いで、「思想史的」という限定的な検証にもかかわらず、進歩主義教育期における幼-小接続の理論的背景を探ることは、今日の我が国における幼小接続のあり方を考えるうえで意義をもつ。
