University-level Mathematics Pre-enrollment Education Combining Individual and Group Works in a Perfectly Distributed Asynchronous Environment

抄録

The Institute of Humanities at Shinshu University has instituted an e-learning system to provide mathematics and statistics pre-enrollment education (PE) to applicants who passed the 2020 examination for candidates recommended for the faculty of engineering. This study presents this PE's results. PE can be categorized into individual work and group work. In individual work, accepted applicants answer mathematics and statistics problems provided by the University e-Learning Association. In group work, they search solutions to such problems by consulting with the faculty of engineering's undergraduate students and other accepted applicants; a group representative submits the answers. We show that accepted applicants can maintain self-efficacy even in perfectly distributed asynchronous PEs.
