Study on creation of a coordinated preschool and elementary school curriculum based on dance education

这项研究对日本、英国和古巴的现状进行了调查，以获得以舞蹈教育为基础的学前和小学协调课程的数据创建。特别是来自英国的结果显示：(1)儿童在孩子可以开始正规学校的最小年龄就逐渐发展到通过游戏学习小学的“流畅”过渡；(2)在过渡期间提供系统支持；(3)在过渡期间，基于他们培养的信任，舞蹈教育方面的专家被利用。这种从学龄前到小学的课程连续性在日本尚未建立。本研究的结果为制定协调的学前与小学课程提供了有价值的数据。

This study conducted interviews and it ascertained current conditions in Japan,the UK,and Cuba in order to obtain data creation of a coordinated preschool and elementary school curriculum based on dance education.Rusult from the UK in particular revealed that(1)children gradually develop a "fluid"transition to learning primary via play in a "reception" class at the earliest age children can start formal schooling, (2)a system of support is provided during the transition period, and (3)specialists in dance education are drawn upon during the transition based on the trust they have fostered. This continuity of the curriculum from preschool to elementary school has yet to be instituted in Japan. Result of this study are valuable data to fasilitate creation of a coordinated preschool and elementary school curriculum.
