A Study on the Virtual Laboratory Using Multimedia and its Software-Development of Learning Materials for Science and Engineering

包括技术学院在内的高等教育机构的环境变得严峻，青年人口减少，对科学课程的兴趣降低。在这种情况下，我们考虑了多媒体应用的有效性，以防止学生对科学领域的兴趣下降，并通过教育来增强学生的创造力。在这项研究中，我们将多媒体的使用限制在东京国立理工学院的常规课堂和毕业研究指导中，并通过教材规划来检验其有效性。本研究的主要结果如下：1.多媒体在主动学习中的应用在本研究中，我们以一个普通班为例，让学生自主学习事先给出的科目，并做口头报告。这是用t…代替传统的教师讲解系统更多的是为了让学生了解和获取知识或信息。有效地使用多媒体作为一种演示工具或提问和表达意见的工具，可以提供合适的情景，让不擅长演示或沟通的学生有所进步，感觉更自由地参与对话。至于口语演讲的评价，多媒体的使用使观众的评价可以统计处理并同时进行分析。这些结果如研究报告5、6和7.2所示。多媒体在毕业研究中的应用。在两个相距遥远的技术学院的合作中，讨论在一定程度上是通过电话、传真和电子邮件进行的。在本研究中，我们探讨了一种同时使用多媒体作为讨论手段的有效方法，并实际开发了软件。结果显示在研究演示文稿中6.更少

The circumstances surrounding the advanced educational institutions inclunding colleges of technology has become severe, with the decreased population of the youth, with less interest in science courses. Under these conditions, we have considered the effectiveness of multimedia use so as to prevent students from being less interested in scientific fields and to practice the education to enhanece the students ' creativity. In this study, we have limited the multimedia use to regular classes and guidance of graduation researches at TNCT-Tokyo National College of Technology and have tested its effectiveness through planning of the teaching materials. The following two are the main results of this study :1. The use of Multimadea for Active LearningIn this study, we take a regular class for an example, where students study of their own accord the subjects given beforehand and give an oral presentation. This is the system in place of the traditional system of the teacher's explanation with t … More he board for the students to understand and acquire the knowledge or information. Using Multimedia effectively as a tool of presentation or a tool of asking questions and expressing opinions can offer suitable situations where students poor at geving presentations or making communications have come to improve, feeling much more free to participate in the conversation. As for the evaluation for the oral presentations, the use of multimedia has made it possible to transact the audience's evaluations statistically and to analyze them simultaneously. These results are shown as the research presentations 5,6 and 7.2. The use of multimedia for the graduation researches.The discussion is limited to some extent through telephones, facsimile and e-mail, in the cooperation between two distant colleges of technology. In this study, we discuss an effective way of using multimedia as a means of discussion simultaneously, and have developed software actually. The result is shown in the research presentation 6. Less
