| Research Abstract |
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 Learning
In 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

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
