メカトロ教育におけるゆっくり解説およびショート動画の活用事例

抄録

We are teaching "Fundamental Mechatronics Experiments," which is a required course for second-year students at this university. For the 2021-2022 academic year, we implemented a system where students were required to watch 5-15 minute lecture videos explaining the experimental principles, in addition to reading the experiment guidebook, before the actual experiment. As a result, while some students watched the videos and gained a sufficient understanding, there were others who did not watch the videos or watched them without gaining a sufficient understanding before the experiment. Therefore, improving the video viewing rate became a challenge. Starting in 2021, we created videos explaining the experimental principles using the "slow explanation" technique commonly used on YouTube and allowed students to watch them at their own discretion, conducting surveys to investigate their usefulness. In this report, we will present the results of the survey conducted in the 2022 academic year. We will also report on our findings regarding the use of short videos, which have been gaining increasing viewership in recent years.
