  • How do the "Credit Model" Assessments Change the Early Childhood Care and Education for Children with Special Needs?:

    Japanese,

    This study investigates the relationship between assessments using the "credit model" and caregiving practices by analyzing "Learning Stories" assessments on the early childhood care and education for children with special needs over six months. From the early stages of creating stories, caregivers were ready to actively seek out the learning disposition of children, but their reflections on caregiving practices were restricted to the conventional view, which aimed to improve children's immature and problematic behavior through instructions. However, the accumulation of story creations provoked the change of their viewpoints to adjust the caregiving environment for children's plays and relationships. In conclusion, the importance of assessments from "credit model" concerning childcare practices with children with special needs is discussed.

    Japanese, 本研究は、運動会活動初期における遊戯の練習場面の、幼児―教師間および幼児同士の相互作用の形態に着目し、従来の保育における研究では十分検討されてこなかった、保育実践における規範を幼児や教師が形成していく仕組みと過程を明らかにすることを目的とした。ある幼稚園の年長学年が毎年運動会で行なう遊戯 <よさこいソーラン> の練習場面を対象として参与観察を行った。結果、遊戯の練習場面における規範を形成・共有する以下の２つの仕組みを見出した。第１に、教師の特定の働きかけの継続により、判断基準やその到達点が曖昧な、踊りの上達に関する規範が学年内に形成されたこと、第２に、規範における行動の参照点を見出すために、幼児たちがクラス間の関係性を変容させることで、規範が共有・維持されていったこと、である。また、運動会当日へ向けて練習が継続していくなかで、これらの仕組み、および規範が変化していったことが示唆された。

    Japanese, How do parents communicate with babies before their infants learn to talk? It has been observed that parents use Parental Proxy Talk (PPT) as if the speech came from the infants own voice. In other words, PPT reflects their expectations what the infants were thinking and feeling. The present study of PPT explored how PPT functions from birth to 15 months of age, and how PPT contributes to communication with pre-verbal infants. Dyadic interactions of twelve mothers with their infants were observed and analyzed. The results showed that there were three periods in the development of the use of PPT; (1) a gradual increase between 0–3 months, (2) a peak period from 6–9 months, and (3) a period of decreasing use of PPT from 12–15 months. The study also showed that PPT functions to support not only the pre-verbal infants but also parents themselves, e.g., in parents emotion regulation.

  • Parental Proxy Talk for pre-verbal infants in parent-infant communication
    Yoriko Okamoto; Yukie Sugano; Manabu Kawata
    Journal of Shohoku College, 35, 35, 67, 84, 湘北短期大学, 2014
    Japanese, How can parents communicate with their infants before the infants learn to talk? Even adult-adult communication requires effort. We communicate using verbal clues as well as cultural-historical preverbal ones.Nevertheless we can still end up misunderstanding each other. It is even more difficult to communicate if the partner in communication is a pre-verbal infant who does not speak and use common gestures yet. Carefully observing communication between parents and their infants reveals that parents keep talking to their infants usingParent Proxy Talk. Not only were they talking to their infants from their own perspectives, but they were also talking as a proxy, using their infants' voices. The videotaped verbal and nonverbal mother-infant interactions were analyzed and revealed four types of Parental Proxy Talk; (1) from the child's view, (2) from the views of both the mother and child, (3) from an ambiguous view, and (4) from a transitional view. It was discussed about a process of enculturation by focusing on Parental Proxy Talk.

    Japanese, 【要旨】自閉症における自他認識の発達を検討するために，自閉症をもつ幼児9 名を対象に，役割交替模倣，積極的教示行為，自己鏡映像認知に関する課題を実施し，課題間の連関を分析するとともに定型発達児との比較も行った。結果，定型発達児と同様に，発達年齢が2 歳頃になると役割交替模倣が可能になる傾向が認められた。役割交替模倣と積極的教示行為の成否には連関性が見られたが，自己鏡映像認知についてはやや異なるパターンが認められた。すなわち，他の2 課題が未成立でも自己鏡映像認知のみ成立する対象児が7 名中4 名見られた。各課題中の行動的・情動的エピソードを分析すると，視線や表情,実験材料の素材感への固執など，定型発達児とは異なる課題への取り組み方が観察された。自閉症においても発達年齢に関連した自他認識の発達が認められるが，定型発達児と同様の評価基準による把握では，対象児の行動レベルと心理レベルのギャップを無視してしまう可能性が示唆された。最後に，自他認識の発達に関わる諸機能間の連関パターンの多様性について議論した。

    Japanese, 【要旨】本論では，陳（2011）の問題提起に応答するかたちで,養育性の教育に関するいくつかの論点抽出を試みた。第1に，現代日本が養育性不在の社会であるのか，それとも養育性不全の社会であるのか，その見立てによって取り得る教育的関与の方図が異なることを示唆した。第2に，本論では基本的に養育性不全の立場をとり，その主要な要因としての「乳児へのアクセシビリティ」を抽出した。ヒト乳児は系統発生的にも個体発生的にも，長期にわたる資源投資が不可欠な集団型子育てを必要としており，その基盤として家族を中心としつつも社会成員からの乳児へのアクセシビリティが担保される社会システムが求められる。第3に,児童期から青年期にかけての役割転換の困難性について指摘し，学校教育におけるいくつかのエピソードや実践例,学習指導要領の改訂に伴う今後の展望について論じた。

  • A Developmental Analysis of "Virtual Acid Responses" in Infancy
    Kawata Manabu
    The Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, 22, 2, 157, 167, Japan Society of Developmental Psychology, 2011, [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    Japanese, This study examined Virtual Acid Responses ("VAR") as representatives of the mechanism of identification in infancy. VAR is a very ordinary phenomenon which occurs in perception of another person's eating something sour. Individuals who tasted a pickled plum express sourness facially when seeing a person eating a plum with a neutral facial expression. In this case, a baby would experience VAR as if she had eaten the pickled plum herself. Forty-three infants (younger group ages 5-9 months, n=22; older-group ages 9-14 months, n=21) participated in this study. Infants in the experimental group (Lemontasting group, or "LE") tasted a lemon and then were presented with a situation where the experimenter tasted a lemon while making a neutral facial expression. Control group infants (Non-lemon-tasting group, or NLE) did not taste the lemon but instead ate a small piece of soft-rice-cracker, and were then presented the same stimulus as the experimental group infants. The reactions of infants were coded into nine behavioral categories. The key findings were that (1) LE babies showed significantly more numbers of categories compared to NLE babies; (2) LE babies in the younger group tended to show frowning and lip-movements, although LE babies in the older group tended to show reaching and vocalizing; and (3) reactions related to VAR in the LE group were equal or more obvious compared to those of NLE babies presented with aversive facial expressions by adult model.

    The Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, 21, 4, 353, 364, Japan Society of Developmental Psychology, 2010
    Japanese, How do parents' concerns about the safety of their children change as children grow up? Ten mothers were interviewed longitudinally from their period of pregnancy through their children's early elementary school years. Narratives from the interview were analyzed. In Analysis 1, narrative themes were first identified. We then explored how mothers think about their children as victims or offenders, and how the mothers bring reality to their concerns over time. In Analysis 2, each narrative was analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that mothers focused on criminal incidents from their period of pregnancy through the child's first year of life, as well as on accidents, peer conflicts, and sibling conflicts from ages 1-5 years, and on criminal incidents again in the early elementary school years. These results also showed that narratives about incidents for school age children were different from those for the prenatal period. Finally, the discussion focused on the hardness of children in their transition to elementary school.

  • Maternal Accounts of Negative Feelings toward Their Children : A Longitudinal Study
    Sugano Yukie; Okamoto Yoriko; Aoki Yayoi; Ishikawa Ayuchi; Kamei Miyako; Kawata Manabu; Shoji Reika; Takahashi Chie; Yagishita-Kawata Akiko
    The Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, 20, 1, 74, 85, Japan Society of Developmental Psychology, 2009
    Japanese, Parent-child relations comprise a dynamic process characterized by conflict and affiliation. Based on this perspective, 24 mothers were interviewed about times when they felt negatively toward their children, from the time of the child's birth through age two. Narrative accounts were analyzed for mothers who developed negative feelings during this period. Mothers' perspectives were based on the conflict between their children's development, their principles of childrearing, and their own resources. Two different processes were notable in relation to child development. At first, mothers did not understand their children's behavior well. But when the children were a year old, mothers treated them as children with personalities. In addition, the mothers were protective of their children during the first year, whereas in the second year they began to consider it their responsibility to be socialization agents of their children.

    Japanese, How sense does a pregnant woman have at fetal movement? The present study examined how pregnant women (N=38) described fetal movement in order to consider women's perceptions of relationships with their fetuses. Especially, it focused on how onomatopoeia they use to express their sense at fetal movement. Participants kept a pregnancy diary about fetal movement. Analysis of the 1032 diary entries found out that pregnant women used very different kinds of idiomatic onomatopoeia, and also produced temporary onomatopoeia. Further, it also found out that in each of three periods (e.g., before 28th week, 29th – 34th week, and 35th – 40th week), pregnant women used different onomatopoeia for fetal movement. Finally, this paper discussed the meaning of the fetal movement as touch between fetus and mother.

  • Infant Self-Assertiveness and Maternal Coping Behavior : A Longitudinal Study from 5 to 15 Months of Age
    Kawata Manabu; Tsukada Michiru; Kawata Akiko
    The Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, 16, 1, 46, 58, Japan Society of Developmental Psychology, 2005, [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    Japanese, This study examined the developmental processes of infant's self-assertiveness and mother-infant interactions. In relation to Wallon's theory (1949), we focused on the relation between "role-reversal behavior" (RRB, in infant's feeding towards mother) and self-assertiveness. Monthly home observations of mealtime setting were conducted for 8 mother-infant dyads (5 boys, 3 girls) from 5 to 15 months of age. The major findings were as follows. Infant's self-feeding began at about 10 months of age, and RRB appeared between 9 and 11 months. After the onset of RRB, the rate of rejection of mother's feeding attempts increased markedly. At 11 months, infants became more persistent in actualizing their intentions. Also at around this age, mother-infant conflict occurred frequently, and beginning from this age maternal interventions gradually decreased. Finally, the data suggested that the experience of RRB makes infants feel different or against kinds of emotions in the situation that has same structure. This would prompt infants' self-assertiveness because they discriminate between self and other, i. e., as distinct subjective agents.

    本研究は、幼保連携型認定こども園に在籍する障害のある幼児の、入園から卒園までの３年間の経過を辿ることにより、障害のある幼児の自己発揮と定型発達の子どもとの協働的な学びを支えるための保育者の子ども理解、子どもとの関わり、環境構成について明らかにする。そして、多様な子どもが在ることを前提とした、インクルーシブな保育を実現するための保育者の実践知について検討するにすることを目的としている。
    2022年度は、主に事例研究並びに文献研究を行った。事例研究では、研究協力先である、幼保連携型認定こども園の３歳児学級に入園した障害のある幼児を対象児として選定した。また、対象児が在籍する学級の担任保育教諭を研究協力者とし、担任保育教諭に対する定期的なインタビュー、担任保育教諭が作成した保育記録の分析、参与観察で得られたデータを基に、TEA（複線径路等至性アプローチ）による分析を行った。作成したTEM（複線径路等至点モデリング）図からは、インクルーシブな保育が創出する過程において、保育者が、第一に子どもの良さを理解し、集団に無理に合わせることなく、子どもの興味関心を基に援助を構想する姿勢をもつこと、そして、学級担任を支える副担任や特別支援教育コーディネーターの存在とサポートが、無理なく子どもが自己を発揮できるクラスの有りように繋がることが示唆された。事例研究で得られた結果は、2023年度の日本保育学会第76回大会で研究発表を行う予定である。文献研究では、主に国内の先行研究の文献収集を行い、論文主題のテキスト分析、論文発行数の年次推移等の分析を通して、インクルーシブな保育に関する研究の動向について定量的に把握した。

    2021年度は、子ども・家族調査、障害児家族調査の二つの調査を実施すること、貧困観・福祉意識調査、当事者意識調査の理論的検討を行うこと、これらを進めるために対面の研究会を行うことが計画されていた。しかし新型コロナウイルス感染拡大による影響で、子ども・家族調査の一部と障害児調査は実施できず、次年度以降に持ち越すこととなった。また対面での研究会も開催できず、貧困観・福祉意識調査と当事者意識調査の本格的検討も次年度以降に延期することとなった。
    子ども・家族調査は、対象は北海道内の2・5歳、小学2・5年生、中学2年生、高校2年生の子どもを養育する家族と、小5、中2、高2の子ども本人の合計約3万人で、北海道内当該人口の約10％に当たるものである。うち2・5歳の保護者調査は、自治体保健部局、保育所等が新型コロナウイルス感染拡大の影響で次年度に延期となり、小2以上の調査を実施した。道内の政令市、中核市、町村のいくつかを選定、人口に応じて調査対象数を設定、代表性を担保した。自治体の協力下で学校で調査票の配布、回収を行った。調査内容は所得、就労と時間、健康、家計、制度認知と利用、子どもの学習・学校経験、活動、進路希望等である。この調査は2016年度に実施されたものと同様の枠組みで実施されており、子どもの貧困に関する継続調査として全国的にも貴重である。集計と第一次分析の結果は、中間報告書（2022年度）に掲載した。
    ほか、以下の2点を行った。①今回の調査結果と比較検討を行うために2016年度調査結果の分析を進めた（単行本として2022年度に刊行）。②子ども・家族調査、貧困観・福祉意識調査、当事者意識調査の分析枠組みの理論的検討の一貫として、イギリス「子どもの貧困アクショングループ」の著作を検討、翻訳し、「子どもの貧困とライフチャンス」として公刊した。

    本研究の目的は、公平性と包摂性を備えた公教育にふさわしい保育カリキュラムの創造
    過程を明らかにし、そのカリキュラムを実現する保育実践「評価」の分析を行うことである。
    2021年5月に開催された第74回大会日本保育学会において、本研究メンバーで「子ども自らのアイデンティティ構築にむけて－公的保育カリキュラムの創造」（投稿番号：J000041）として、公教育にふさわしいカリキュラム構築に必要な子ども理解（アセスメント）についての議論を展開した。研究代表の塩崎から日本の保育実習における保育評価の歴史的経緯を、研究分担者の川田から、保育を評価する分析視覚について報告し、加藤、大宮、岡花、赤木、吉川がコメントした。
    シンポジウムの開催によって、保育料の無償化には、公的な目的で公費を使って行う公教育に「保育」を位置づける側面があるが、しかし、国民教育に値する保育カリキュラムとはどういうものか、保育の何をどのように「評価」すればその質は高まるかなど、教育的価値を含む保育内容の選択基準や、国や自治体が実施に責任をもちうる保育制度や行政システムについての開発はすすんでいない現状を再確認した。
    その後2023年2月にイタリアの保育現場への視察調査を行い、保育「評価」における多様性の承認が個人を過度に分断し、自己責任論を呼び込む温床にならないよう、異質な他者との「つながり」に意味を見出し、能力評価の対象として切り出された個人を「関係性」や「文脈」のなかに埋め戻す理論を構築していく必要があるのではないかといった課題意識を共有した。イタリアの社会民主主義的保育思想が、現在の保育にどのような影響を与えているのか。教育学や心理学など、諸学問的知見や経験をベースにしながら、計画だけに頼らない、不確実かつ可能性にひらかれた保育実践をめぐる考察を国際比較の視点を含め検討していく作業を今後も行っていく。

    In this research project, the following two studies were conducted.
    (1) Results of a study in which various teachers reflected on their teaching behaviors while viewing movies taken by a wearable camera attached to them: It was shown that trainees and skilled teachers have different targets to look at, and it was possible to notice the difference between the two by using the movies in the reflection. Furthermore, we were able to show a specific model of the skilled teacher's cognitive skills.
    (2) Results of a study in which the figures of face-to-face communication networks measured by sensors attached to the teachers and students were reviewed by teachers: It was found that the teacher's checking of the face-to-face communication between students during the class can encourage students to communicate with each other in subsequent classes.

  • Local diversity in ECEC practitioners' attitudes and beliefs about children and their formation process
    Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Research (Pioneering)
    Jun. 2018 - Mar. 2021
    KAWATA Manabu
    The concept of "understanding child"(“Kodomo-rikai”), frequently used in early childhood education and care(ECEC), was examined from two aspects: what are the issues in classical theories and current training curriculum, and to relativize this concept in ECEC from the perspectives of historical, regional, religious, and adjacent domain. In the former part of this study, the importance of historical research on the developing concept of "Kodomo-rikai" at the embodied level and the role and challenges of practical training in a real settings, were suggested. The latter clarified the perspectives of local residents who do not share the "logic of ECEC," perspectives from social issues during the nursery school building movement (1960’s - 1970’s), religious values and the identity development of ECEC practitioners through the experience of working in childcare support.

    The result of this research showed three findings. First, teachers respect the development of each child with special needs. But their group-oriented belief can cause conflicts and makes inclusive education difficult. Second, through practicing the form of individualized teaching plan and documentation based on credit model, teachers reconstruct their understandings of children with special needs from various perspectives such as play, interpersonal relationship, reasonable accommodation. Third, assessing children based on credit model can be a trigger to reconsider the educational system for all children, regardless of their special needs.

  • Developmantal coupling in inter-age group : a step for Interdisciplinary approach to developmentology
    Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(B)

    Manabu KAWATA
    This study attempts to expand the concept of "development", from the perspective of "different age group coupling" by analyzing characteristics of relationships between individuals, formed within practices such as child care, child rearing, school education, Ibasho (local settlement), camping activities for children and young people with developmental disabilities, etc.
    Our findings reveal that a distinctive pattern of events, such as developmental differences in participants are mutually supported. In addition, attachment of meaning to one’s language and behavior that occurs in general situations, the cyclical relation between support provider and recipient of support, the development of new values through the problem-solving process of impromptu situations, etc., emerges within the activities involving individuals of different age groups and generations.

    In the snowy cold region, the amount of activity declines during the winter due to the cold, and stress is considered to be high. In this study, we investigated children's physical activity status and their stress in snowy cold regions. We attempted to create the physical activity model for the children in snowy environment.
    As a result of the survey, in kindergartens, children who come to their kindergartens by walk showed a tendency of remarkably high amount of physical activity even in afternoon. This survey implied that the amount of physical activity in the morning affected the activities of the whole day in snowy season.
    In the survey of physical activity amount and physique for elementary school students, children who prefer to play outdoor in winter showed higher physical fitness points, lower stress conditions, and fat gaining in winter season compared to the children how prefer indoor activities. Such tendency can not be seen in a temperate area.

    Childcare and the children’s behavioral development in the community were investigated in Taramajima island, Okinawa Prefecture. Special attention was given to a traditional custom of childcare by a girl of around 10 years old called Moriane.
    The results showed that the island is a place of rich allomothering practices including Moriane, and such allomothering practices support and even enrich social networks of the community of the island based on the trust for the caring children, which is quite different from our urban childcare styles. This kind of childcare circumstance was what our urban childcare had in the past and lost now, and gives us an opportunity to reconsider our current practices. However, Moriane has been modified and shrinking these days even in Taramajima, and hence it is necessary to make a follow-up study to consider the change.

    Apr. 2013 - Mar. 2016
    Manabu KAWATA
    In this study, we examined the relationship between early childhood settings (i.e. kindergarten) and experiences of young children to generate a framework for integrating educational practices and human development. Focused on three environmental arrangements - physical, communicative, temporal - , we analyzed how to arrange posted notices about daily or longer-term schedule for children, tools or materials for play, varying events (e.g. UNDOKAI athletic meet), and so on. Particularly, systematic description of temporal arrangements by teachers (or mutual constitution of teachers and children) was considered crucial for integrating environment and children.

    Apr. 2008 - Mar. 2011
    Manabu KAWATA
    The purpose of this study was to examine the development of role-reversal imitation and self-other recognition in typically developing children (1-2yrs) and children with autism. Many typically developing children passed the task of role-reversal imitation by 2 years old, and their scores significantly correlate with another two tasks (for mirror-self- recognition and active teaching). Children with autism showed specific pattern of the correlates between tasks, that is the mirror-self-recognition had more ease than another two competences.

    共感性の一形態であると考えられる「擬似酸味反応」について、今年度は月齢差を中心に検討した。「擬似酸味反応」とは、例えば、他者が梅干を食べようとしているところを見るだけで、(他者が酸っぱそうな顔をしていないのに)自分が酸っぱそうな顔になってしまうといった現象である。本研究には43名の乳児(7ケ月児=22名、11ケ月児=21名)が協力した。材料にレモンを用い、事前にレモンを舐める経験をした乳児(Le群)とそうでない群(N-Le群)に分け、両群に対して実験者が真顔(neutral face)のままレモンを舐めるシーンを提示した。主要な結果として、(1)Le群>N-Le群で多彩な反応が見られること、(2)Le群>N-Le群で顔をしかめたり、口唇の動きが活発になるなどの擬似酸味反応が見られること、(3)Le群の中でも反応には月齢差があり、顔をしかめたり、口唇の動きは7ケ月児の方が多く、手のばしは11ケ月児に多い傾向があること、(4)最初に実験者がレモン舐めシーンを提示してから15分後に再度レモン舐めシーンを提示したところ、実験者のneutral faceを提示されたLe群の乳児の反応と、いかにも酸っぱそうなsour faceを提示されたN-Le群の乳児の反応との間に有意差はなかった、などが示された。低月齢の乳児は他者の情況に対して共振的に反応する傾向が顕著であるのに対して、生後1年目の終わりになると必ずしも共振的に振舞うだけではなくなることを示唆する結果は、生後1年目の三項関係の形成と関連があるかもしれない。
