Abstract
For the teacher’s support on “new comer” children, the purpose of the present study is to spread the education policy about understanding of diversity for teachers by collaboration with them and researchers, taking bottom-up approach. First, qualitative analysis revealed tasks for teacher’s support on “new comer” children (1-a) and the resolution process (1-b). The results indicated 1-a produced 2 tasks for understanding and 1-b revealed the process of changing consciousness regarding tasks of 1-a in discussion activities based on “Open Dialogue” approach.
Then, based on the results above, the results produced 2 policies. One is “understanding of diversity among children by teacher is important to assure them the opportunity for learning. However, the classroom does not follow it under the current environment with the increasing number of children whose diversity need to be understood. Therefore school should conduct enforcement for small class system to make sure they guarantee children the opportunity for learning as well as understand the diversity”. The other is “although the discussion activities in the present study is useful when it comes to understanding diversity, the presence of supervisor who oversees teachers as well as children would be more helpful”.
