A Case Study on the Items and Utilization of Cloud-Based Learning Sheets for Teachers to Grasp Students’ Learning Status

Abstract

In a class where learners are learning while making their own decisions about their learning activities, it is important for the teacher to understand the learning situation of each individual learner and provide guidance and advice. In recent years, there have been attempts to visualize learning situations such as objectives and reflection using spreadsheets on the cloud (hereafter referred to as “learning sheets”), and teachers are providing individual guidance based on the information entered. This study aims to clarify the actual conditions of the items and utilization of cloud-based learning sheets for teachers to grasp students’ learning status. To this end, an analysis was conducted on the items presented in the learning sheets and on a questionnaire survey regarding their utilization. As a result, 15 labels were assigned, and five categories were created: learner identification information, learning goals, learning guidelines, learning progress, and learning reflection. The learning sheets can be set up with items as needed by the teacher, and the study suggests the possibility of having functions that can grasp learning goals and reflection in real time, as well as functions that can grasp dynamic learning situations such as learning guidelines and progress.
