Also, the students were used iPadmini and M-Tracer devices to analyze their golf swing which intended to stimulate discussion of group working. The students answered questionnaire of the fundamental competencies for working persons at pre and post period of the class, and 12 elements of ability were evaluated. As a result, an independence, an ability of influence, an ability of activeness, an ability of detecting issues and an ability of delivering opinion showed significantly higher value at the post compared to the pre in the semester class, while the all 12 elements were significantly higher at the post compared to the pre in the block class. It was suggested that the golf class constructed by active learning and problem- or project- based learning for acquisitioning golf swing by group working have a possibility to improve student’s independence, ability of influence, ability of activeness, an ability of detecting issues and an ability of delivering opinion.
