Preschool Teachers' Attitudes Toward "Children's Right to Play" -International Comparison among Japan, China and Korea-

本論文において､先ず｢子どもの遊ぶ権利｣に関する著者たちの過去の研究を再検証し､次にアジア近隣3国､すなわち日本･中国･韓国に於いて実施した最近の調査研究について述べてた｡調査は質問紙法を用いて3国の保育者たちに配布された｡質問紙は3設問と10の下位設問から成り､著者たちは結果を集計､分析､考察した｡ 全般的に､3国の保育者たちは肯定的な回答を寄せた｡3者の最も顕著な違いはカリキュラムに関する考え方であり､特に｢遊び｣を幼稚園/保育所のカリキュラムに含めるか否かについては興味ある相違を示した｡その主な原因は3国における保育･幼児教育理論の理解の相違にあると著者たちは結論付けた｡In this paper, first the authors reviewed thier researches concerning "Children's Right to Play" and then, presented the continued current comparative study among three Asian countries, Japan, China and Korea. Concerning 3 questions in the questionnaires which were distributed to preschool teachers among three countries, the authors analyzed the results statistically with discussion. Generally speaking, most of preschool teachers among three countries showed positive reflection to the questions. Even though there were some problems contained in this preliminary research, the writers of this paper place great value on the results of their joint research presented at the OMEP's 22nd World Congress and 50th Anniversary, Copenhagen, Denmark, August 13, 1998
