Unclearness in play: examination the concept of "Ukkari (carelessness)" in Souzou Kurahashi

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of =cd=ab2cUKKARI(carelessness)" in Souzou Kurahashi through knowledge about theory of play and solve it. In this paper, the author consults Satoji Yano's theory of play. Traditional theory of play usually took interest in the function of play for the child's development. But Yano's theory focuses on the process and the dynamism of action of playing children. Yano's consideration teaches us that play is the extremely unclear activity, but the unclearness causes the dynamism in play, and can give children strong impressions. The nursery teacher's =cd=ab2cUKKARI" brings an accidental and unclear element in play. The concept of =cd=ab2cUKKARI" in Kurahashi that the nursery teacher's =cd=ab2cUKKARI" does educationally important working, can be solved from the perspective of unclearness in play.
