Development and Evaluation of a Learning Model by Making and Browsing “Spot the Different Videos” to Improve Teaching Skills Using ICT

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish an effective learning model for improving such teaching skills using ICT. The use of information and communications technology (ICT) to apply digitization techniques to advancing education and improving teachers’ teaching skills using ICT is in demand. Therefore, we established learning model involving problem solving learning through a “Spot the different videos” method to acquire the skills. And, we held a practice session and evaluation for students in teacher training course and incumbent teachers to clarify the effective learning model. Evaluation results show that we showed that using the model results in learners significantly increasing the number of nodes of mindmaps and the answers to questionnaire items about teachers’ ICT use to accelerate teaching effects using the check-list defined by MEXT the learners provided before and after the model. In addition, the result in freely describing, this learning model made the learners acquire　the ability to using ICT to not only students in teacher training courses but also incumbent teachers.
