    This paper introduces two courses of information education in Japanese law departments through the author's experiences. The first is "Legal Informatics" as a joint class of Osaka University and Kagoshima University.The second is "Legal Informatics Seminar" in Kyushu University. The paper focuses on the use of computer/internet in legal education and comments on the further developments of those courses in the future.

  • Significance of Using Internet in Studies of International Relations
    ～As a Case Study of International Joint Seminar～

    In the field of social science in Japanese universities, a great deal of efforts by scholars has been put into research and not so much in intellectual collaborations in education. This is because the mutual relationship between education and research was not clearly conceived. This thesis discusses what kind of merit the international joint seminar using Internet can bring into the studies of international relations.As a conclusion, the use of Internet in the studies of international relations is effective in complementing what traditional tools could not do. For example, to collect comprehensive data of information in Japanese or to exchange information and views among members easily. Of course the international joint seminar could not have been realized without using Internet, but the participants' efforts to improve their basic academic skills are indispensable for the realization of the effective use of Internet in university education.

  • Practical Introductory Education on Quantitative Data Analysis Using Personal Computer
    ～A New Attempt at Shonan Fujisawa Campus, Keio University～

    A new method of practical introductory education on quantitative data analysis was introduced at the Shonan Fujisawa Campus, Keio University in 1997. The new method puts the emphasis on practical training using personal computer and statistical software rather than understanding statistical theory through lectures. In addition to experiencing and understanding research methods and various types of statistical analysis, students are instructed to be engaged in data analysis projects carried out on students' own research questions. Through the project, students experience a series of activities required to complete quantitative data analysis. Introduction of the new teaching method proved successful, and the number of students who take statistics courses increased drastically.

  • Web Deconstructs the Design of Learning

    Publishing on Web is ambivalent. It destructs the design in learning. But destruction is a beginning of a new design in learning. Web requests reconsidering of social science in an academic style and prepares social science for a conversion into a civic style that is aware of its self reference.

  • Strategy Use in Computer Assisted Language Learning

    This article reports on an empirical study, in which 273 college EFL students were examined for their strategy use in computer assisted language learning (CALL). Our subjects had studied for three and a half months on a multimedia-type CALL software developed by the authors. A cloze test was used for the measurement of their proficiency gain during this period. As to the assessment of their strategy use, a 50-item self-report inventory called SILL (Oxford, 1989) was employed. The results show that strategies for i) making the most of their learning opportunities and environment, ii) confirming their learning progresses, and iii) inducing KR information from the CALL software are the keys in successful CALL learning. Possible applications of these results as well as some disclaimers are also mentioned in the last section.

    As a result of the increasing use of computers in the field of education, many CAI and multimedia teaching materials are being developed and used in education. However, methods and standards for evaluating these teaching materials and their educational effects have not yet been established. Therefore much of the research on CAI in the field of language education is on the development of CAI materials. We have tried to clarify the effect of instruction using sound-hint in CAI learning.Experiments in grammar, kanji and vocabulary learning were conducted under two conditions : one group learned CAI with sound-hint usage instruction and the other without such instruction. The results showed that the sound-hint usage instruction enhance students' kanji and vocabulary learning. This is probably because the sound-hint usage instruction is germane to learners' learning strategy use.It is desirable to promote this type of study further to develop effective methods in CAI learning and various teaching materials using computers.

    Machida Technical High School has been entering robot contests as a part of information technology education since 1994. We entered the All Japan Robot Sumo Contest sponsored by the Association of Principals of Technical High Schools and a software company, and won the first prize in 1998. We tried to adopt this robot creating technique to education. This paper reports some experimental works and discusses its effects on information education.

    We have developed simulation programs for classical mechanics. Physical phenomena are represented graphically and several parameters can be set in the program. We used C language on a Linux operating system and XForms and Mesa for the library related to graphics. We also built a network system for physics education using this program. A questionnaire was sent out to 400 students and our programs received high evaluation from them. The network system proved to be very stable.

    The purpose of this paper is to propose a desk top music ( DTM ) system for composition supported by the hypertext and database system, based on research on student's difficulties in developing ideas for composition. This integrated system is to provide students with useful information to solve the problems they may encounter while composing music and to support the knowledge and creativity of the learners. It also gives us tools for analyzing the process of student's composition.
