Abstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate a support program for childcare workers who assist child-rearing affects on-the-job education. This program was based on a recognition–behavior theory and self-reflection. Specifically, we evaluated how subjects felt effectiveness of the program by comparing childcare workers who were trained through the program (test group) and those who were not (control group). We found the (1) effectiveness that subjects in the test group felt increased compared to those in control; (2) the effect of the program became apparent after one month because the subjects felt the effectiveness; and (3) on-the-job education was effective for childcare workers to improve their effectiveness in child-rearing.
