Description

<p>The purpose of this study is to use group finger painting experiences as a tool foor caregivers to increase selfawareness, deepen their understanding of children, and to increase their expertise. Twelve current caregivers who had experienced group finger painting as 3rd year university students were selected as subjects. Modified grounded theory approach was used to analyze interview data collected after completion of group finger painting exercises of these test subjects. The analysis showed that, unlike when they were students, consciousness towards understanding of children's feelings was observed. Self-reflection as a caregiver and further mention of work expertise were confirmed. In addition, the individuality in group finger painting prompted the childlike elements of caregivers and promoted the intersubjective understanding of children's feelings, which were shown to increase awareness of caregivers' expertise.</p>
