A Method to Measure Learning Effectiveness in the Follow-up Classes
Get PDFapplication/pdfIt is considered to be difficult to find the learning effect because it requires long duration and we generally do not know how to measure the effectiveness of learning. Due to the trend of shrinkage of young people to be enrolled in universities, we are inclined to accept a variety of students, which will make us to take special care to undergraduate students. Therefore, we decided to design the follow-up program for them. The follow-up program consists of two: one is the learning check testing system to find students to be taken care of as early as possible, and the other is to serve the special learning program called follow-up classes. In the follow-up classes, students, teachers, and peersupporters work in a collaborative style using the newly introduced adaptive online testing system.
To check if the learning is effective or not in the follow-up classes, we introduce here a newly proposed method (progressive method) which measures the ratios of students relevant to follow-up participants. We consider that if the ratio is larger than 0.5, then the follow-up program was worked effectively. By investigating three classes using this newly developed method, we have found that the follow-up program worked effectively.departmental bulletin pape
Learning Analytics: Trends of Taking Tests for Learning Check Testing and Follow-up Program Testing
Get PDFapplication/pdfDue to the growth of freshman students who were taught insufficiently in high schools, we have recently established the follow-up program system (FP system) aimed at helping students who need basic learning. The follow-up system consists of learning check testing (LCT), follow-up program testing (FPT), and collaborative work testing (CWT). Since the FP system was first introduced, four months have passed, and we have accumulated the testing results to some extent. In this paper, we show the results of learning analytics focused on the LCT and FPT trends. From the analytics, we have found that 1) class attendance ratios are extremely improved by introducing LCT, 2) students well understand the meaning and significance to the FP and LCT, 3) although some students are reluctant to attend the FP classes (FPC), some students eagerly accept the FPC and CWT, 3) students want what they need the knowledge to be used promptly such as those used in examinations, but not for future use, 4)departmental bulletin pape
A Report of an Extracurriculum Activity for the Support of Self-development of Students in the Field of Liberal Arts Education
Get PDFapplication/pdf本報告は，2015 年秋から約半年をかけて，本学学生，教職員ら約10 名で英語テキストを素材に「自主ゼミ」を企画し運営した体験に基づき，その概要を報告するものである。報告者３名は，「自主ゼミ」で果たした役割の観点から本報告を行う。報告内容は，「自主ゼミ」が開催されることになった経緯からはじまり（§1），使用したテキストの内容が有する教養教育としての意義（§2），英語教育における一方法論の提言を経て（§3），最後に「自主ゼミ」参加者の声を聴き，有意義な「自主ゼミ」を企画し運営する際の条件を明らかにする（§4）。当初は予期しなかったことであるが，参加学生に自己啓発の兆しがみられたことも特記したい。departmental bulletin pape
Efficiency Improvement of a Savonius Wind Power Generator and Its Application for Problem Based Learning
Get PDFapplication/pdfWe have developed a Savonius wind power generator using a hub dynamo for teaching material. The shape of the wind turbine is optimized to get the rated output power of hub dynamo. Through the development process of the teaching material, we tried a problem based learning (PBL) for college students. And we verified the educational effect of the PBL method with the teaching material.journal articl
Comments from Students toward Online Testing Systems in the Follow-up Program
Get PDFapplication/pdfDue to the shrinkage of high school students and growth of the number of acceptance to universities in Japan, almost all the high school students are to be enrolled to universities, which causes various educational difficulties in universities. Taking care of students who were taught insufficiently in high schools and junior high schools is one of them. The follow-up program is aimed at helping students who need basic learning and aimed at assisting teachers who have to engage in teaching a variety of students. The follow-up systems are recognized as a part of the follow-up program (FP), and consist of the learning check testing (LCT), follow-up program testing (FPT), and collaborative work testing (CWT). We have developed the FP using online testing systems. In the systems, many persons playing roles are involved, such as teachers, students, peer supporters, and item contributors. We adopted the item response theory (IRT) to evaluate students' learning skills accurately. It would be a good time to assess if the systems worked or not because we have now a one-semester experience. Thus, we took questionnaires to students, peer supporters, and advisors. As a result, we have found that 1) students accept LCT in a positive attitude, 2) students want to use CWT out of campus, 3) attendance rate is improved, and etc.departmental bulletin pape
Chomsky and Everett
Get PDFapplication/pdfNoam Chomsky thought of discrete infinity as the core property of human language but later he somehow changed his own claim. He regards recursion, instead of discrete infinity, as the universal property of human language. Meanwhile, Daniel Everett has researched one of the Amazonian languages, Pirahã and insisted that recursion is not found in Pirahã. Some researchers claim that Pirahã has recursion as other languages do but others think that even if recursion is not employed in the language, it does not mean that recursion is not the universal property of human language. Is recursion the universal property of human language as Chomsky insists?departmental bulletin pape
Seismic response behavior of multi-story NC braced frames
Get PDFapplication/pdfThe authors have proposed Z-type and anti-symmetric Z-type NC braced frames that reduce absolute acceleration response by accumulated elastic strain energy. The elastic strain is accumulated by incremental deformation due to elastic response. These frames show similar elasto-plastic seismic response behavior by plastic energy absorption of the NC braces to hysteric dampers. They are compared for single-span and single-story frames. Numerical analyses of eight-story, three-span frames with various NC brace arrangements are carried out to compare the seismic response behaviors of Z-type, anti-Z-type and X-type braced multi-story frames. Residual deformation in multi-story frames after an earthquake can be calculated based upon incremental deformation in each story.departmental bulletin pape
Whitney and Saussure
Get PDFapplication/pdfWe treat W. D. Whitney's and Ferdinand de Saussure's views of language and discuss their similarities and differences. The two linguists have similar ideas on the following points: 1) social character of language, 2) arbitrariness of language, 3) conception of zero sign, 4)acquisition of language, and 5) relation between linguistics and psychology. On the other hand, they disagree with the following points: 1) relation between signifiés and signifiants and 2) relation between synchrony and diachrony.departmental bulletin pape
Static loading tests on anti-symmetric Z-type NC braced frames
Get PDFapplication/pdfThe authors reached the conclusion from shaking table tests and seismic response analyses that anti-symmetric Z-type NC braced frames show seismic response reduction performance due to accumulated elastic strain energy based upon incremental torsional deformation. Static loading tests on the NC braced frames are carried out to estimate the incremental torsional deformation behavior in detail. From experimental results, the incremental torsional deformation is clarified based upon monotonic increase of torsional moment.departmental bulletin pape
