幼稚園４歳児学級における草花を使った遊びの展開に見る教師の役割

　本論は，幼稚園４歳児学級における草花を使った遊びにおいて，教師の役割を整理し，考察するものである。幼児教育では，遊びの展開に伴って，調和的で多様な学びが深化・発展し，遊びや学びは，幼児主体で偶発的に生じているように見える。しかし，遊びの展開や学びの背景には，「幼児の姿を予想した環境構成」「遊び方の変化に合わせた物的環境の整備」「遊びの発展への架け橋」といった教師の役割が見出された。

This paper aims to organize and examine the role of teachers in the play using grasses and flowers in a kindergarten class for 4-year-olds. In early childhood education, harmonious and diverse learning deepens and develops alongside the development of play, with play and learning seemingly occurring spontaneously and child-directed. However, the roles of teachers, such as “environmental constitution anticipating the child's presence,” “maintenance of the physical environment in accordance with changes in play,” and “bridging to the development of play,” were identified as underlying the background of the development of play and learning.
