Abstract
Due to the accelerated progress of knowledge and information technology, as typified by artificial intelligence, education is required to acquire knowledge and skills; yet concurrently, cultivating the abilities of thought, judgment, and expression is necessary as well, and "deep learning" and "active learning" have attracted much attention in school education. The National Institute of Technology clearly stated the promotion of active learning using information and communication technology in the plan of 2014 of the 3rd Medium Term Plan.
In response to this, the Education and Research Committee at the National Institute of Technology, Gunma College commenced efforts toward introducing active learning in 2014. In this review, we will compile the results of initiatives to introduce active learning in the past five years, hoping to present future guidelines. In Chapter 2, we reviewed the policy on active learning promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and described the status of active learning introduction at elementary and junior high school, high school, and college and university levels. In Chapters 3 and 4, based on a questionnaire survey, we reported on the current situation of our school about the educational method in which students actively learn.
