Abstract
When making a suggestion for improving the quality of childcare practice, it is necessary to study childcare worker’s belief in the practice because belief influences practice. Previous studies showed that as a childcare worker gains experience, their belief changes from teacher-centered and directive to child-centered and receptive. Herein we studied the belief of 14 childcare workers by analyzing their comments on 42 images based on a visual-narrative method. We found that as childcare workers gained experience, they became convinced that both children and childcare workers are equally humans.
