大学初修中国語ブレンディッドラーニングのためのスマートフォン利用復習教材「KoToToMo」の開発と実践

抄録

The current authors previously proposed a 3-phase learning process that included a web-based review and used this approach to implement blended learning (BL) for beginning learners of Chinese language at university. Given the rapid spread of smartphones, students have increasingly requested learning materials for use on smartphones over the past few years. However, few learning materials have been designed to facilitate this mode of learning using smartphones and there are no clearly defined approaches to designing such materials for BL by beginning learners of Chinese. The current study has focused on microlearning to resolve these problems. The authors have proposed guidelines for designing review materials for use on smartphones to facilitate BL based on microlearning and have developed the review application KoToToMo. The results of a pilot study suggest that this approach is effective at maintaining the motivation to learn and promoting independent study particularly with regard to speaking.
