Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the realities of the Japanese-style education / learning model known as "attribution organization model" in higher education in relation to seminar education (hereinafter referred to as "seminar"). To that end, I conducted a nationwide questionnaire survey to the heads of humanities and social sciences departments of Japanese universities, and conducted a student survey in the same fields. I also analyzed the appearance of remote seminar education with COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, it was confirmed that the implementation rate of the seminar is very high, but there is a big gap between the goal expected for the seminar and the actual goal, as well as in student perception of personal development. It also became clear that a gap exists between faculty and their students in relation to the aims, results and significance of the graduation thesis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、ゼミナール教育について初めて全国的な教員および学生調査の結果を示すことができた。この成果は、今後領域別のゼミナール教育研究を進めるうえでの礎になる。また卒業研究や卒業論文が持つギャップについても示すことができため、よりよい卒業研究のあり方についての研究も促すだろう。また、本知見をもとにゼミナール教育や卒業研究の観点から人文・社会科学領域等における学士課程教育の改善方策についても検討することが可能となった。加えて、遠隔ゼミナールの分析によって示された、ゼミにおけるICTツール活用のメリットとデメリットは、今後のゼミナール教育の新しいあり方を考えるうえでも参考になるだろう。
