项目摘要

Three-Dimensional interactive Education System (3d-ies) is welcomed by students taking English communication classes and has something attractive leading to students' active participation in class activities. In order to enhance this advantage of the system, the investigator has tried to improve tasks carried out in classes so that students may find the classes even more attractive.The investigator asked students in his classes connected by means of the Internet to Hokkaido University students and instructor in the spring and fall semesters of the academic year 2004 to answer a questionnaire with respect to what type of tasks they prefer and which actual tasks they find to be fruitful or discouraging out of 36 in the spring semester and 38 in the other semester.What follows is the result of the investigation. First of all, tasks based on discussion (sometimes something like an academic debate) are preferred to Role-playing activities. Students want to be assigned their partner(s) in ch … More at activities by the automatic grouping function of the system rather than having to find their partner(s) by themselves in the 3-dimensinal cyberspace. Tasks using complicated function of the system or intricate procedures are not well-received, which the investigator interprets as an indication of students desire to be concentrated on discussion itself. Topics of the discussion or the debate they prefer are those whose background and related arguments are well-known among ordinary people. They do not want narrow topics in their fields of study typical in their departments. When they tackle with role-playing activities, they prefer those with an open ending : they hate to be told to reach a particular ending with a given plot of a story. To the investigator's surprise, it does not matter very much whether tasks are meant for amusement or entertainment. It does not matter either whether discussion groups consist of two students or three. Something outlandish also is not attractive to the students. As a result, we can draw a conclusion that what counts most seems to be exciting and substantial discussion and debate. We ought to take these observations into account when we prepare tasks for chat-based English communication classes. Less

三维互动教育系统（3d-ies）受到英语交际课学生的欢迎，具有吸引学生积极参与课堂活动的特点。为了增强该系统的这一优势，研究者试图改进课堂上执行的任务，以便学生可能会发现课程更具吸引力。调查人员在2004年春季学期和秋季学期，通过互联网与北海道大学的学生和教师联系的学生回答了一份调查问卷，内容是他们喜欢什么类型的任务，以及他们认为哪些实际任务是有成效的或令人沮丧的，其中春季学期有36项，其他学期有38项。以下是调查结果。首先，基于讨论的任务（有时像学术辩论）比角色扮演活动更受欢迎。学生希望通过系统的自动分组功能来分配他们的伙伴，而不是在三维网络空间中自己寻找他们的伙伴。使用复杂系统功能或复杂程序的任务不受欢迎，研究者将其解释为学生希望专注于讨论本身的迹象。他们更喜欢讨论或辩论的话题是那些背景和相关论点为普通人所熟知的话题。他们不希望在自己的研究领域里有狭窄的主题，这在他们的院系里是很典型的。当他们处理角色扮演活动时，他们更喜欢那些有开放结局的活动：他们讨厌被告知要在给定的故事情节中达到特定的结局。令研究者吃惊的是，任务是为了娱乐还是娱乐并不重要。讨论小组是由两个学生还是三个学生组成并不重要。稀奇古怪的东西对学生也没有吸引力。因此，我们可以得出一个结论，最重要的似乎是令人兴奋的和实质性的讨论和辩论。当我们为以聊天为基础的英语交流课程准备任务时，我们应该考虑到这些观察结果。少
