Research and Development of a tool to share learning designs for designing classes based on constructivistic approach

本研究的目的是开发一种工具，以促进基于建构主义和以学生为中心的学习原则的课程设计，并促进这些学习设计在各种形式的教学和学习中的共享和重复使用；面对面、混合式和在线学习，基于新的教育范式的前提，即学习发生在学习者主动学习的时候，并且主动参与学习活动，而不是基于课堂的被动学习。在日本，“电子学习是在线提供讲座录像”的观念仍然盛行，人们倾向于认为电子学习和在教育中使用信息和通信技术是传统的以讲座为基础的教学的延伸。因此，通过促进基于建构主义和以学生为中心的学习的课堂设计，上述工具的开发将促进日本高等教育实践的落后于西方国家。在这项研究中，开发了一个工具来设计以下三个层次的大学课堂：课程、课程和学习活动，以可视化、共享、评估和重复使用这些设计，超越组织边界。

The aim of this study is to develop a tool to facilitate designing courses based on the principles of constructivism and student-centered learning and to facilitate sharing and reusing of those learning designs in all forms of teaching and learning; face-to-face, blended and online learning, based on the premise of new educational paradigm that learning occurs when learners initiate their learning and are actively involved in learning activities instead of lecture-based passive learning. In Japan, still the notion that “e-learning is the provision of lecture videos online” is prevailing and people tend to consider e-learning and the use of ICT in education in extension of the traditional lecture-based teaching and learning. Therefore, by facilitating the class design based on the constructivism and student-centered learning, the development of the tool mentioned above will advance higher education practices in Japan that tend to be behind of those in Western countries. In this study, a tool has been developed to design university classes in the following three levels: a course, a class, and a learning activity, to visualize, to share, to evaluate, and to reuse those designes beyond organizational boundaries, .
