| Popis: | 主観的幸福感が高いブータン王国における就学前集団教育について現地調査を行った。調査協力園は，私立幼稚園3か園であった。インタビュー協力者は，園長または保育者であった。3か園に共通していたことは，保育料は有料，園バス保有，3歳以上児を対象，文字の読み書きを実施，英語による授業，弁当・水筒持参，2種類の保育時間，などであった。文字の読み書きに力が入れられていたことは，日本と大きく異なることであった。鉛筆の持ち方が，全員正しかったことを観察した。これは，保育者が個別指導を丁寧に行っていたことに起因すると考える。年長クラスになると，一人用机で読み書きを学ぶ姿は，日本における小学校教育と類似していた。これは，小学校入学にむけた1年前からの教育が基礎教育期間の始まりとされていることと関連があると考えられる。また，2種類の保育時間があることは，現在の日本における認定こども園に近似している。今後，ブータン王国における就学前集団教育に関する研究を進めていくことは日本の保育への貢献が期待される。 Onsite surveys of preschool group education facilities were conducted in the kingdom of Bhutan, a country with a high level of subjective happiness. Three private preschool facilities participated in these surveys. The principals and teachers at the facilities agreed to be interviewed. The three facilities had the following in common: there was a fee for attendance; the facilities had their own buses; services were available for children aged three and up; lessons included practicing reading and writing; instruction was in English; children were required to bring their own lunches and water bottles; and there were two different time schedules available. The effort put into teaching reading and writing was very different from preschool in Japan. Observations found that all students held their pencils correctly. This is likely due to thorough one-on-one instruction provided by the teachers. In the oldest class, the way the students sat at individual desks and learned reading and writing was similar to elementary school education in Japan. This is probably related to the fact that one year of education prior to starting elementary school is required in Bhutan. In addition, the availability of two different class schedules at these facilities is similar to the current system of certified centers for early childhood education and care in Japan. Future research on this topic could contribute to early childhood education in Japan. |
