Due to the lack of decent discussion on how to measure the quality of care provided by preschool teachers that is associated with their sensitivity and creativity, to our best knowledge, there has been little empirical research on how efficient a specific education program is. Numbers of studies have proved that proceeding "interactive psycho-physical synchronization (kyoshin)" plays a significant role for preschool teachers to develop their "adaptable and compassionate body attentiveness." In order to develop the empirical model assessing how the "interactive physical synchronization" on expressive body movement will be expanding, we collect 15 principal indicators measuring the degree of "interactive psycho-physical synchronization" for approximately 250 males and females at age of 20 and older years old and we apply hierarchical cluster method for our data. Finally, we examine the effectiveness of the established model for 12 students who are taking our course at Toyo Eiwa University. Consequently, we found that our training program would motivate students to achieve higher degree of interactive physical synchronization compared to the status before the class, with respect to 4 out of 15 indicators representing intersubjectivity" and "physical sensitivity," in average. Further, using multidimensional scaling method, we observed that 8 out of 12 students have attained higher degree of interactive psycho-physical synchronization. Based on our empirical results in this study, therefore, we conclude that a specific professional training program might be very effective for preschool teachers to develop hearty and sympathetic body awareness when interacting with children.}, pages = {13--29}, title = {保育者としての身体的感性の育成:授業での身体表現の経験による"共振"の段階の変化}, volume = {20}, year = {2003}, yomi = {ニシ, ヒロコ and ノグチ, ハルコ} }
