Abstract

Abstract In the mid to late nineteenth century, many missionary women from Western countries arrived in Japan to engage in educational work. They made a significant impact not only on the establishment of Christian kindergartens and kindergarten teacher training schools but also on the dissemination of Friedrich Froebel's theory of kindergarten education across Japan. This paper considers the role of religion in the missionary women's implementation of Froebel's theory to understand how Christian faith and values have influenced pedagogy and practice at their training schools, with a particular focus on the case of prominent American missionary and Froebelian Annie L. Howe (1852-1943) and her Glory Kindergarten teacher training school in Japan. By highlighting the curriculum and day-to-day training experiences at Howe's Froebelian kindergarten teacher training school, this study contributes to the body of knowledge about how teaching, learning, curriculum, and pedagogic discourse were transformed not just by the decisions of the Froebelians but also by Howe's Christian faith and values.

传教士的教育与实践:安妮·l·豪和她的光荣幼儿园教师培训学校

摘要19世纪中后期，许多西方国家的女传教士来到日本从事教育工作。他们不仅对基督教幼儿园和幼儿园教师培训学校的建立产生了重大影响，而且对弗里德里希·弗罗贝尔的幼儿园教育理论在日本的传播也产生了重大的影响。本文以美国著名传教士、佛罗贝尔女传教士Annie L.Howe（1852-1943）及其在日本的Glory幼儿园教师培训学校为例，探讨了宗教在传教士女性实施佛罗贝尔理论中的作用，以了解基督教信仰和价值观如何影响她们培训学校的教育和实践。通过强调Howe的Froebealian幼儿园教师培训学校的课程和日常培训经验，本研究有助于了解教学、学习、课程和教学话语是如何被Froebearian的决定以及Howe的基督教信仰和价值观所改变的。
