玩具の活かし方で子供は変わる: やる気を引き出す行動科学とは？

摘要

世の中には，実にさまざまな子供への教育法，それに伴って今は多くの知育玩具が存在する．それぞれが優れた長所をもち，成果を挙げているものもたくさんあるだろう．しかし一番の問題は，「それを実行できるか」「適切に使えるか」「続けられるか」ということではないのだろうか．%Even superior methods or toys hold no meaning for child-raising without knowing how to "approach", "use" and "continue" effectively. The main point of the behavioral science that I advocate is not a matter of characteristics or talents of children, but to induce the change of children's "behavior". Know-how, which can be used anytime, anywhere and by anyone, is given here in the manner helpful to every child.
