Abstract
Aiming to make artistic play activities a more common practice in the educational field, the researcher has been working on replay training for teachers independently and researching its effects and related issues. In this paper, the effects observed in teachers who are participants in replay training alongside children are clarified. Notably, these effects constitute a new development in this type of training. Free descriptions from preliminary questionnaires and worksheets were analyzed using KHCoder and then compared. The worksheets were gathered from teacher and child training wherein both adults and children participate together, and from teacher only training wherein only adults participate. In conclusion, engaging in activities with children impacted participants, with responses such as “I was able to gain diverse perspectives on whether I could play,” “The discrepancy between my ‘evaluation’ of myself and others was reduced,” and “I was able to perceive the anxiety and doubts I have every day as more fundamental issues.”
