| Profile |
My specialty is early childhood music education. It includes children’s musical expressions such as their vocal plays and play with musical instruments, music teaching materials or cultural assets and methods of teaching music and supporting children’s musical expressions in kindergarten or child-care center. Among them, I’m interested in research on cultural assets that have rhythms, e.g. traditional children’s game with folk song, fingerplay with song, and picture book.
The rhythms in those assets induce children to attune each other, that is, synchronize. And I insist that the synchrony caused by them is essential since it forms the basis of relationships between children and teacher or carer.
I’m also conducting action research on how teacher or carer support children’s play activity in groups and observe individual children.
Research results are clarified through presentations at conferenced and piblicaitons in jounals. |
| Research Field(Keyword & Summary) |
- Japanese traditional children’s game or play with songs (Warabeuta-asobi) in Kindergarden and nursery school
This reseach aims to improve ways how teacher or carer teach their children warabeuta in its classroom and how to support them to enjoy the play.
- ‘Theory of supporting children’s play in kindergarden and nursery school’ (’Hoiku enjo ron’ or’Asobihoiku ron’ )by Hirohisa Ogawa
This research aims to validate Ogawa’s theory insisting that teacher can observe individual children in its classroom only while they play with constat members in 5-6 groups、 at constant place, for a certain amount of time, and proposing the way of constructing that condition: the way of environmental composition and teachers behavior.
