The purpose of this study is to explore the assessment content of free-choice activities, large/small group
activities, and outdoor activities of lesson plans written by kindergarten and daycare center teachers, and to
find out methods on how writing lesson plans can contribute to the learning and development of children.
Upon analyzing assessment contents of lesson plans, first, kindergarten teachers did not assess the
achievement of learning objectives, and daycare center teachers conducted such assessment, meaning no
assessment had been conducted rarely. Second, regarding assessment of education content, kindergarten
teachers showed higher assessment rate than daycare center teachers. Third, in regards to the assessment of
appropriateness of teaching and learning methods, assessment was conducted in large/small group activities
for kindergarten teachers, while assessment was conducted in activities for all categories while for daycare
center teachers. Fourth, regarding the management of teaching-learning environment composition analysis,
daycare center teachers conducted approximately four times more assessments than kindergarten teachers.
Fifth, in terms of assessment of children, kindergarten teachers showed higher assessment rate than daycare
center teachers, and both teachers conducted the least amount of assessment during free-choice activities.
Also assessment on development of children was also conducted the least. Moreover, assessment was
conducted on the emotional status of teachers. Teachers of early childhood education are required to
understand the details of the purpose of assessment, and teacher support such as reeducation of teachers,
are desperately needed, so that assessment through detailed instructions can be conducted.
