Early childhood education and care (ECEC) experience in home economics is compulsory at junior high school. However, problems such as “cannot find a place to accept”, “burden of home economics teachers”, and “lack of understanding of school staff” are concerns for home economics teachers.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether cooperation with the ECEC experience which is mainly conducted by external organizations such as child-rearing support administration leads to problem solving.
As for the survey method, we first selected three wards involved in the implementation of the ECEC experience from the preliminary questionnaire survey to Tokyo's 23 wards.
Next, we conducted an interview survey with the people in charge of child-rearing support administration in the 3 wards and analyzed the current situation of the ECEC experience. We analyzed the content of the interviews and the process leading up to the implementation of the ECEC experience. As a result, it was suggested that cooperation with the ECEC experience mainly conducted by external organizations such as child-rearing support administration may lead to the solution of the above three problems.
