In Japan, since around 1989, the government has examined how early childhood education and care [ECEC] and elementary school education [ESE] should be connected and has implemented top-down changes, reforming the curriculum for both. The reforms stated that ECEC connects to ESE learning and forms the foundation for it. This chapter explores how, in recent years, as a strategy to connect policy and practice between ECEC and ESE, researchers have been involved in practical research and training for practitioners at the local level. By carrying out these efforts in an integrated manner, a ‘generative movement’ has been taking place all over the country in a bottom-up manner in parallel with national policy and promoting the development of a curriculum that connects children’s proactive learning from ECEC to ESE.

摘要

In Japan, since around 1989, the government has examined how early childhood education and care [ECEC] and elementary school education [ESE] should be connected and has implemented top-down changes, reforming the curriculum for both. The reforms stated that ECEC connects to ESE learning and forms the foundation for it. This chapter explores how, in recent years, as a strategy to connect policy and practice between ECEC and ESE, researchers have been involved in practical research and training for practitioners at the local level. By carrying out these efforts in an integrated manner, a ‘generative movement’ has been taking place all over the country in a bottom-up manner in parallel with national policy and promoting the development of a curriculum that connects children’s proactive learning from ECEC to ESE.
