子どもの遊び行為の展開からみるコーナーを用いた保育スペースの構成: 子どもの発達に伴うコーナー設定に関する研究 その2

摘要

In the institution which performs free nursing, it is important to clarify the relation between a corner and change of how children play. Change of how children play has along-term seasonal change and a short-term daytime change. In our previous report, we analyzed the use characteristics of the corner in the nursery room from the viewpoint of the seasonal changes of the play act. This paper aimed to explain the space composition of the nursery space with corners by detailed analysis of development on the change of child's play act in the free nursing in a day. As we did in the previous report, behavior observing investigation through video photography was conducted at four nursery rooms in two kindergartens. The play act under free nursing was checked every 2.5 minutes, and then change of play act was analyzed. Results are described below. #1)The 3 years-old child performs various plays in many cases. As age becomes high, children come to play intensively and develop play. #2) After the pattern of the place in play acts is observed, there is a central corner easily connected to the other corner. #3) The analysis demonstrated that multiple comers, rather than a single corner, induce children to play more activity. In order to develop the play act, in addition to a setting of each corner, it is also necessary to provide the open space intentionally.%遊び行為の展開は持続的•複合的•発展的展開に類型化して特徴を捉えると、3歳児では複合的展開がよく見られ、いろいろな遊び行為を同時に行うことが多い。4歳児、5歳児ではこの複合的展開は見られなくなり、代わりに持続的•発展的展開がよく見られるようになる。っまり、年齢が高くなるにっれ、集中して1っの遊び行為に取り組むことや、複数の遊び行為を関連させて遊びを発展していくことが多くなる。
