[Faculty of Human Sciences] Learning while experiencing support activities for children Activity report XNUMXst report

In Service Learning B "Study with Children" at our university, after participating in an outdoor activity program for elementary school students and gaining experience as a support staff, we aim to be able to plan, implement and operate the program on our own. From spring to summer, we will work on three experiential learning.

In the first experiential learning, I participated in “Horseland Play Park 4 on the run!!!” sponsored by Miki Horseland Park (Eo no Mori Training Center) held on April 27 and learned how to interact with children. I learned about people and support methods experientially.Reports from the students who participated included, "Some of the children started crying when I went to see them, and I was at a loss as to how to deal with them." One of the participants said, "I realized the need to make a plan while predicting possible situations in advance."During the retrospective activities on campus, we deepened our learning by discussing how to deal with the children and how to operate the school as a whole.

As for the second experiential learning, we are planning to participate in "Horseland Play Park 7" (Eo no Mori Training Center) on July 6th as a support staff, and we are currently proceeding with pre-learning.
