Development of Linguistic Expressions in Early Childhood
人は,認識・思考・伝達の手段である言葉をどのように習得していくのか。これまでも,乳幼児の発話を採集して報告された事例・研究は多く存在する。ここに取り上げるのは,その一環(一例)である。人が,生まれてから,言葉(日本語)らしきものを発するようになる(泣く→声を上げる(音声を発する)→言葉をつぶやく)までの1 年半の発声・発話の一実態である。言葉を持たない存在から,言葉に触れ,言葉を理解し,言葉をまね,言葉を表現する―言葉の使い手として成長していく,言葉習得の初期過程のドキュメントである。すなわち,「クーイング→喃語→ジャーゴン→初語→一語文→二語文→語彙爆発」に至る過程の一事例である。departmental bulletin pape
A Study on the Sense of Busyness and Strain in the Initial Period of Newly Arrived Childcare Workers
The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons why beginning childcare workers feel that they have “a lot of work” and “hard work,” and to clarify the duties they learn and how and when they learn them. Newly Arrived Childcare Workers had acquired 80% of all duties in April, which they had acquired by the fourth month after arrival. In the process of acquiring these duties, the study also revealed that beginning childcare workers were supported by the empathetic understanding of the caregivers around them. Based on the results of this research, we thought it would be effective to create a list of job descriptions that new employees can understand, and a reasonable plan that indicates when and how much they will be able to do. In addition, I thought it would be effective to conduct an internship training before arriving at a new post in order to avoid concentration on the duties to be learned in April.departmental bulletin pape
An Attempt to Establish Piano Lessons that are Easy and Quick to Learn. The First Report: Making Model Performance Videos to Play Children’s Songs and Reporting on the Results of Online Classes
本論では,簡易に学べて,簡単に上達できるピアノ演奏法の確立に関する試みのため,子どもの歌を演奏するための範奏教材動画の制作と授業実践に関して報告する。学生はこの実践を振り返り,教材動画によるピアノの実技指導について,前向きに授業に参加し,自身で課題を発見して練習に取り組むことができたとポジティヴに評価した。また,教材の改善のための多くのリクエストを寄せた。これらの振り返りから,ピアノの実技指導における教材動画の提供は,学習の着眼点や留意点の明示,演奏の意図の表出,音楽的な演奏を促すイメージの伝達等の点で,学習内容の焦点化や学習目標の明確化となり,効果的であり有益であることが示唆される。departmental bulletin pape
The Process of Mental Transformation in Mothers of Children with Congenital Heart Disease: Based on Their Reflections on the Children’s Infancy
This study aims to clarify the type of mental transformation that mothers of children with congenital heart disease undergo, through their reflections on their parenting practices during their children’s infancy. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven mothers of children with congenital heart disease, and their narratives were analyzed using the Modified Grounded Theory Approach (hereinafter referred to as M-GTA). The results suggested that “childcare anxiety caused by becoming a mother of a sick child” is transformed into “maternal development through childcare” as a result of “encouragement by family, friends, and other mothers met at the hospital ward” and
“encouragement by the medical and hospital ward staff.” We hope that these results will facilitate further improvement of childcare support in hospital wards in the future.departmental bulletin pape
An Attempt to Establish Piano Lessons that are Easy and Quick to Learn Presenting Study Goals and Practice Points through Video Teaching Materials to Play Children’s Songs
In order to establish piano lessons that are easy and quick to learn, this study shows how to make model performance videos to play children’s songs and presents a report on the actual practices. The previous study showed that providing video teaching materials is effective and beneficial in respect to the following three aspects: (1) they make the learning points and points of attention clearer and more focused, (2) they express the performer’s intensions more vividly, and (3) they transmit images that promote more musical performances. This study continues to survey the results of the class evaluation and finds that the students who took the class with the video teaching materials not only overcame a basic technical difficulty of putting music notes into sounds, but also paid attention to expressions of performances and found some points for further improvement. This suggests that this teaching technique deepens students’ learning and promotes voluntary learning. In addition, this study points out some areas of improvement in making video teaching materials on the teachers’ side.departmental bulletin pape
Learners’ Perspectives in Inclusive Education―The Power that Children Use for Learning―
In order to promote inclusive education, it is necessary to take the learner’s perspective and create an educational environment where each child can learn in a way that suits him or her. This study utilized the theory of multiple intelligences to clarify whether there are differences in the way each child learns depending on the learning environment, form of learning, and other factors. Our interview with children about their own learning styles revealed that differences tended to occur in the abilities children thought they used the most when learning, depending on the form of learning, the subject being studied, and the form of activity in the same subject. These results indicate a trend for children as a whole, and the analysis of each child should be utilized in future studies to identify differences in individual learning styles and their potential for use.departmental bulletin pape
A Systematic Review of Child Care Practice Research on Musical and Physical Expression Activities for Preschool Children: Focusing on “Spontaneous Expression” after the 2017 Amendments to the Three Statutes
3法令改正後の音楽表現活動と身体表現活動に関する保育実践研究に焦点をあて、どのような保育実践研究がなされているのか、システマティック・レビューをとおして体系的に理解し、幼児の自発的な表現を促す保育実践について考察することを目的とした。31件の保育実践研究を対象にデータの照合・統合を行った結果、さまざまな表現形式を組み合わせた複合的な表現および素材を媒介とした実践がなされており、さまざまな質感・性質の素材と関わる多様な経験が、自発的な表現を促す要因となっている可能性が示唆された。一方で、領域「表現」内における複合的な表現において、どのような状態を「自発的な表現」とみなすことができるのか、今後の研究によってさらに深めていく必要性が浮かび上がった。departmental bulletin pape
Concept of ‘Beauty’ in Singing Voice Based on Herbert-Caesari’s Works
This study aims to discuss the notion of beautiful voice in artistic or classical singing and the possibility of defining the beauty of tone. To this end, I analyse the thoughts of Edgar Herbert-Caesari, a 20th century British singing teacher and writer, based on five of his books. While most previous studies have mainly focussed on his singing pedagogy and techniques, this study contributes to the literature by examining his thoughts about ‘beautiful’ singing, which remain relatively unexplored. His thoughts revealed three main ideas. First, he thinks that it is possible to define the Beauty of tone because vocal organs do have a natural movement. Second, he insists that singers, singing teachers and even audiences must recognize beauty of tone to prevent the decline in singing standards Third, he thinks that to recognize beautiful tone, it is necessary to understand the natural movement of vocal organs based on appropriate scientific knowledge. Despite disagreements on whether the standards of beautiful singing can indeed be defined, Herbert-Caesari’s work continue to influence today’s classical singing and singing education.departmental bulletin pape
The Lives of Japanese Elderly People in a Mountainous Area: The Case of Uji Town in Takahashi City, Okayama Prefecture?Part I
本稿では、中山間地域にある農村である岡山県高梁市宇治町に住む高齢者の暮らしを紹介した。宇治町内には商業施設や生活関連施設がとても少ないけれど、多くの高齢者が住み続けている。近年、過疎化と高齢化がいっそう進行している。そのために、従来のやり方では宇治町の住民の生活を維持することがむずかしくなった。そこで、住民は宇治町の運営方針の変更をすることによって、暮らしを存続させようと努めている。それに加えて、別居子の居住場所に注目した。宇治町には単身や夫婦のみで生活をしている高齢者が多いけれど、そうした高齢者の子どもは少なくとも1人が40キロ以内の場所にたいていすんでいた。高齢者はそうした子どもから支援を受けやすいから、住み続けることができた。departmental bulletin pape
Examination of Lesson Content for the Preparation of Teaching Plans in the Area of “Expression”: Using Video Materials of Teacher’s Eye Movements Taken with a Wearable Camera
本研究は、ウェアラブルカメラによる保育者視線のリアルなデータを活用した保育実践の動画教材を作成し、保育者養成段階の学生が、表現活動の指導における「教師の援助」の理解を深めた上で指導案を作成することができる授業内容を検討することを目的とした。学生の気づきの分析結果から、指導のねらいに即した言葉掛けや、指導のねらいと導入に関する気づきがあり、本研究で作成した動画教材において、学生の「教師の援助」の理解を深める有効性が示された。また、保育者視線で得られる情報から「教師の援助」について読み取っている学生も多くみられ、ウェアラブルカメラを用いた動画教材だからこそ、「教師の援助」の理解がより深まることが明らかになった。加えて、領域「表現」の授業内容を検討する際は、動画教材を示すとともにその指導をするに至った素案や指導案を提示し、指導案の作成過程についての説明を加えていく必要性が示された。departmental bulletin pape
