A Trial of Re-education for In-service Teachers using Video Conferencing System

在这项研究中，我们试图构建一个旨在培养有能力的[新教师和在职]教师来解决目前日本学校面临的各种问题的再教育系统。该系统是一个远程教育系统，通过视频会议系统将香川大学研究生院的讲座传输到高知大学和鸟取大学。在这个再教育系统中，视频教材在CS广播系统上传输，印刷材料在各大学分发，每次讲座后，我们通过向参与者发放问卷的方式获取信息。通过调查，我们可以说，这种利用视频会议系统的再教育系统是一种有效的教育方法，特别是对在职教师来说。具体来说，我们的研究表明：1)视频会议系统能够在一条综合业务数字网线路上传输(2B)；2)通过…为远程学习者提供视频教学材料更多的CS广播系统或视频媒体可以弥补视频会议系统的低分辨率。3)使用视频会议系统时，应尽量避免音频回声。4)参与者希望有更多的机会询问远程教师。5)参与者确实希望有更多的机会与远程参与者交换意见/信息。6)参与者，即在职教师，希望讲授临床教育心理学、教育信息系统、7)参加者希望在星期六/星期日和暑假举行讲座。8)参加者希望获得有关网上再教育计划的资料和简单的加入程序。此外，我们的调查包括两项作业：1)我们建议再教育计划应让参加者选择适合其学校课程需要的教材。2)为了推广再教育讲座的使用，我们必须寻找除CS广播系统外的其他传输方式。较少

In this study, we have tried to construct a re-education system that aims to nurturing competent [new and in-service] teachers able to solve various kind of problems that Japanese schools have to face nowadays.This system is a Distance Educational one which transmits lectures given at Graduate School of Kagawa University to Kochi and Tottori University using Video Conferencing System. In this re-education system, video teaching materials were transmitted on CS broadcasting system, and printed materials were distributed in each University.After each lecture, we obtained information by means of questionnaires given to participants. As a result of that survey, we can say that this re-education system using video conferencing system is an effective method of education, especially for in-service teachers. In detail, our inquiry indicates 8 points:1) Video conferencing system was able to transmit on a single ISDN circuit(2B).2) Providing remote learners with video teaching materials by using … More CS broadcasting system or Videotape media can compensate for low-resolution of video conferencing system.3) When using video conferencing system, we should try to avoid audio-echoing.4) Participants wanted more opportunities for questioning remote teachers.5) Participants really wanted more opportunities for exchanging opinions/pieces of information with remote participants.6) Participants, namely in-service teachers, wanted to give lectures about Clinical Psychology of Education, Educational Information System, Educational Practice and others alike.7) Participants wanted to have lectures on Saturdays/Sundays and summer holidays.8) Participants wanted information and simple joining procedures related to re-education programs on the Internet.In addition, our inquiry contained 2 assignments:1) We suggest re-education programs should allow participants to select teaching materials that meet the needs of their school courses.2) In order to generalize the use of re-education lectures, we have to find a transmission method other than the CS broadcasting system.
