  • A Practice in “Information” Class Based on Learning Mix Blended Objectivism and Constructivism and its Evaluation
    A Blended Learning Example Utilizing Typing Software

    In recent years, the major topic of the discussion in blended learning has been how to combine objectivism and constructivism. In this study, the advantages of the ARCS model, namely“exercises with automatic and matching feedback,”which are a constituent element of objectivism, and those related to the“fusion of independent study and cooperative learning”were incorporated into touch typing activities in high school“information”classes and were evaluated. Experiments and analyses were conducted in four categories, namely with／without the ARCS model and with／without constructivism. As a result, a teaching method with the learning support that combined the ARCS model and constructivism was not found to be particularly effective in this practice.

  • Development of microprocessor, MPU 48, for education use, and its actual use in class

    It is necessary for students of the Electronics and Information Engineering Department to understand the basic concepts of how a computer functions. For that purpose, it would be efficient to give them an exercise of microprocessor design. For use in the lecture class, the MPU 48 microprocessor is proposed because it is simply structured and allows for the use of hardware description language for design purposes. For those reasons, it is well fitted to educational use, as illustrated by an actual instance of microprocessor design in a class, which will be reported later. Design exercises are scheduled to proceed so that students can study at home using the internet, thereby avoiding possible progress level differences among students. Consideration of its effectiveness for educational use is based on analyses of students’ responses to questionnaires. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed design exercise.

    The objective of this research is to understand the thinking of high school students as they used“Squeak Toys”to create programs. Protocols made by students were analyzed by factor analysis. Four factors were found that represent student's thinking processed：“Evaluation check”, “Target accomplishment”,“Problem resolution”,“Space consideration”. Further analysis was conducted and the following three relationships were found： 1）Target accomplishment and Problem resolution affect each other. 2）Target accomplishment and Evaluation check affect each other. 3）Target accomplishment and Evaluation check affect Space consideration. A second part of the study was to investigate the relationship between student characteristics and their thinking processes. A strong effect was found between Intellect and Problem resolution. However, a weaker effect was found between diligence and Space consideration.

    Although e-learning systems have widely been used to assist the university lectures, those systems with tests evaluation using the IRT（item response theory）have just begun, and such a case is not so well known, in particular, for mathematics education in universities. In this paper, 1） we describe the superiority of the IRT evaluation results over the raw score evaluation by comparing these two methods, and 2）we show a small e-learning system in which the IRT evaluation system is included to grasp the abilities of students toward mathematics and to enhance the interest to learn mathematics.

    This paper shows a new approach that how to improve the electronic syllabus according to students’ degree of understanding. We use the electronic analyzer on Web instead of their paper to investigate students’ understanding. The result in the class of each time will give teachers some reconsideration of the instruction design. Some teachers will make more effort to adapt the level of their class according to understandings of students.

    What information ability have freshmen in college actually acquired in junior high school and high school? In this thesis we have empirically searched for the problem about the information education in junior high school, high school and university by tracing the curriculum that entrants to university have gone through during secondary education, and we have proposed the information education based on study of the attainment target according to children's stage of development in each curriculum from elementary school to university.

    With the advent of mobile devices, there has been a revival of interest in vocabulary learning. In this paper, we will report on the autonomous and collaborative learning system that we have developed, the PHI（Personal Handy Instructor）, the PSI（Personal SuperImposer）and the SIGMA（Special−Interested−Group Material Accumulator）. We also discuss the results of the three evaluation experiments that we have conducted.
