Understanding of the Situation by the Frame of the Teacher in the Free Play Scene and the Relation to Children

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to clarify what kind of frame the preschool teacher uses to understand the child's behavior and correspond to the child in free play. Relationship with the children of three preschool teachers in free play was recorded on video. Then, a semi - structured interview was held with the preschool teacher. As a result, the following three points were shown.

(1) The teacher constituted the problem from the situation with the frame, the teacher then responded to solve the problem.

(2) The teacher constituted multiple problems from one situation with multiple frames.

(3) The teacher's frame was influenced by expectations and wishes based on the children's understanding and developmental view.
