Abstract
Group care and home-like care are two typical perspectives to discuss about the children's education at children's home. We had a survey on the understanding of the caring environment of the staff working at children's home, mainly using photoes to communicate with the surveyed staff the key concepts such as “home-like”, “ordinary” life “individuality” and “laxuary”. We found, due to the pedagogical style employed by different children's homes, following differences among the staff's understandings:1) the staff at Taisha-style children's home pointed out the existence of a serious gap between the current environment and “home-like” and “ordinary” living environment, and they wished for a more “home-like” environment;2) the staff at Shousha-style children's home evaluated highly of Shousha-style care from their observation on the way children acted but wished for even a smaller environment for better results; 3) the staff at GH concluded that it has been offering effective education resulted from the smallness of its environment.
