Abstract
This study examined the effects of a brief performance of the childcare persons support program (Nishiyama, 2009) on 'human relations' childcare contents in a course for renewing teachers' licenses. This program aimed to bring about a positive change in recognizing the prospect of childcare persons for 'bringing about desired changes for children'. In particular, this program used diagnostic evaluations, setting of target action, and self monitoring. Nishiyama (2009; 2012) reported that this support program was effective in improving the efficacy of childcare persons in 'human relations' childcare contents. This study has verified the validity through giving the program to a temporary group, such as one taking a course for renewing teachers' licenses. This study clarified that, in spite of its simplicity, the support program effectively improved the efficacy of childcare persons. Finally, consideration based on the results was added from the viewpoint of childcare persons' support and future research topics were shown.
