摘　　要：The“junkyard yard”in the Kibbutz kindergarten reflects a holistic concept that includes nature and its materials on the one hand and the community and the materials that accompany it on the other.This humanistic educational concept,which has its foundation in the kibbutz movement,combines encouragement for artistic experimentation,movement,and planning-defines the set of materials as tools that train the child for a certain action or a socio-dramatic,emotional role,for the practice of agility and thinking training.At the core of the concept,the child is positioned as an independent learner who explores his environment.The scrap yard has many cognitive functions.This combines the approach of Piaget,who sees the encounter with nature as a foundation for a person’s personal development through an encounter with balance systems that help him learn regulation,creativity,and initiative.The study included the independently filmed testimony of four gardeners working in four different kindergartens in kibbutzim in the southern and northern regions of the State of Israel.The content of the videos was analyzed using a strategy for qualitative content analysis by the theory anchored in the field.The main findings show the development of diverse cognitive abilities such as:creativity,initiative in many ways,emotional regulation,cooperation,and the ability to solve problems.
