Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore how a care-taker reflected the background of the scenes in her care practices. In this study, the research holds these questions : 1) What kind of word did a care-taker use to narrate her practices? 2) How did a care-taker describe the background of the scenes in her practices? The results suggested that, 1) The care-taker narrated her practices not by jargons but by her own words 2) The care-taker was conscious of her practices included the background in her narrating 3) The difference was found between reflections expressed by narrative and that by written in terms of quality. This study has concluded that narrative has possibilities that could draw out reflections on what made herself be aware of the background of the scenes.
