Active Learning, Theory and Application, and Japan’s New Course of Study Guidelines as They Relate to University Language Teaching
Get PDFThe aim of this report is to familiarize college instructors with Active Learning (AL), its basic features, theoretical underpinnings and classroom applications. The Self-Determination Theory of Ryan and Deci (2000) is presented to explain the positive attitude that many AL students develop towards learning. We introduce three levels of AL activities, low, intermediate and advanced, as defined by the European Council’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. We then review the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s (MEXT) recently issued Course of Study Guidelines (2018-2019), particularly as they relate to AL and university language teaching, and argue that a carefully managed and coordinated, institution-wide curriculum is needed as a foundation for successful AL implementation. However, the best chance of working toward MEXT’s objectives appears to be a well-trained, dedicated, and mutually supportive teaching staff

Get PDFBalancing Medical Equipment Costs with Public Finances
Get PDFIn this study, the author analyzes the cost of medical equipment from a public finance perspective, using data from “Statistics of Production by Pharmaceutical Industry” and other sources. The analysis revealed the following two points. First, the size of the medical equipment market (as a percentage of GDP) has grown generally consistently from 0.37% in 2001 to 0.52% in 2018, an increase of 0.15 percentage points in about 17 years. This suggests that the cost of medical equipment in National Medical Care Expenditure may have grown slightly faster than the nominal GDP growth rate, although statistical issues must be kept in mind. Second, although CT and MRI are the most discussed high-cost medical devices, there are other medical devices that have a significant impact on public finances. There are 72 medical devices with a market size of 5 billion yen or more and an average growth rate of 1% or more. Medical devices with a market size of 100 billion yen or more are “sterile tubes and catheters for blood vessels,” “other contact lenses,” and “artificial joints, bones, and related devices,” while the medical devices with a market size of 50 billion yen or more but less than 100 billion yen are “operating equipment and supplies, not elsewhere classified,” “dental gold-silver-palladium alloy,” “sense organ accessories” and “stents.

Characteristics of students with attachment to university sports clubs
Get PDFA lot of universities are currently engaged in their own branding efforts and are using the success of their university sports clubs as one means of achieving this goal. However, the effects of these efforts have not yet been clarified. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between current studentsʼ evaluation of university sports clubs and their satisfaction with enrollment, as well as the factors that influence their attachment to university sports clubs.An online questionnaire was administered to students attending physical education classes, and a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted. The dependent variable was set to the correlation between current studentsʼ evaluation of the university sports clubs and their satisfaction with enrollment and their attachment to the university sports clubs, while the independent variables were the demographic profile of sports and a set of items related to their motivation for enrollment.The results of the analysis indicated that current studentsʼ interest in sports in general and their positive enrollment motivation had an impact on the correlation between their evaluation of the university sports clubs and their enrollment satisfaction. Similar results were also found for attachment to the university sports clubs. And similar results were also shown for attachment to the university sports clubs
