The usage of a self-access learning center and improvements to enhance accessibility
Get PDFapplication/pdf自律学習分野におけるセルフアクセス学習の重要な役割は，異なる学習者要因に対応するための学習の個別化とオートノミーの育成である（Sheerin，1997）。しかし，学習センターの設置によりセルフアクセス学習を提供したからといって，利用者がいなければ，あるいは学習環境を提供するための体制が整っていなければ本来の役割を果たすことはできない。本稿では，広島文教女子大学の英語学習専用のセンターを利用状況と利用促進の観点から調査し，センターが抱える問題について考察する。研究方法として，まず，既存の利用データからレギュラーユーザー層と非レギュラーユーザー層を割り出し，センターの学生スタッフと共に利用度の理由や原因を模索した。そこで生まれた議論を元にアンケートを作成し，在学生を対象に調査を行なった。アンケート結果からは，調査に協力してくれた学生のうちの4分の3が非レギュラーユーザー層であること，また，そのうちの多くが自身の英語に対する自信のなさや1人で利用しにくいことを理由にセンターを利用していないということが分かった。また，センターで行なっているイベントやキャンペーンの参加度や，不参加の理由についても調査をした。本稿の後半部分では，その調査結果をもとに，さらなる利用促進のアイディアや改善案，今後の課題について述べる。The main roles of self-access in the field of independent learning are individualized learning that can account for various learner factors and developing learner autonomy (Sheerin, 1997).However, mere provision of self-access learning through setting up a self-access learning center does not guarantee that its intended roles will be realized if there are few users and/or sufficient support for providing a suitable learning environment is not present. Having examined the self-access learning center (SALC) for English studies at Hiroshima Bunkyo Women's University with a focus on the usage of the center and usage promotion, the current paper will examine the problems that the center has. Existing usage data was first examined to see which students use the center regularly and which students do not and, together with student staff, reasons for the usage patterns were discussed. A questionnaire was created based on the discussions and conducted among students at the university. The results of the questionnaire revealed that three fourths of the participants were non-regular users and that many students do not use the center because they are not confident in their English and/or they are hesitant to use the SALC alone. Students' participation in events and campaigns held in the SALC and reasons for nonparticipation were also examined. The latter part of this paper discusses ideas for promoting SALC usage and improvements as well as future actions.departmental bulletin pape
