This paper describes a method for analyzing the appearance pattern of words found in transcriptions of class instruction. The appearance pattern of each word together with an index of mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis and a cumulative relative-frequency graph were presented. Shape of the graph and values from the index gave indications of words with remarkable appearance patterns. Further analysis of the transcriptions clarified the roles these words have in instruction. Finally, the effectiveness and possibilities inherent in this method were discussed.

In this study, the authors developed a kanji learning system for Japanese elementary school pupils and foreign students containing the following features : (1) Learners are provided with knowledge on pattern structure of kanji ; and (2) learners practice by finger drawing. These learning methods are based on theories in cognitive psychology and the paper reports on theoretical rationales for this system and results of an experiment in evaluating its effectiveness. Foreign students who were learning kanji participated in the experiment, and although they made improvements in understanding kanji structure and writing kanji quickly, transfer was not shown in memorizing other kanji. Most of them did not seem to use the strategy learned in the system. Reasons for this were discussed.

These last 10 years, many universities and colleges in Japan have been reforming their admission systems and, at the same time, conducting research evaluating the reformations. Since entrance examination data is confidential, however, research reports are rarely published creating a situation impeding the sufficient discussion of research methods used in the reform. In this paper, we proposed an approach for evaluating admission systems based on several indices and methods developed by The National Center for University Entrance Examinations. The approach evaluates the system from two points of view. The first considers functional aspects of the system and the latter properties of system input and output, viz., applicants and entrants. The authors applied this approach to the entrance examination data of the Faculty of Law, Hokkaido University and demonstrated its efficacy.

The effectiveness of using personal computers in the study of family diet planning at a senior high school was examined. Methodology was as follows : In studying the family diet lesson, 173 students were divided into experimental and control groups. Experimental group students calculated the nutrient contents of the diet using a personal computer. Preand post-tests were given to measure the differences in performance before and after the experiment. Results were as follows : 1. Use of the personal computers made students interested in the lessons and amiable in taking them. 2. The lessons using the personal computers improved student judgment towards nutritional balance.
