Outline of Final Research Achievements

Electrical machinery such as generators, electric motors, and transformers are used in various places such as power generation and substation facilities, transportation equipment, and industrial machinery, and are important devices that support the infrastructure of our nation's daily life. Therefore, educating engineers with expertise in these devices is an important issue for the future of our country.
In this study, a remote-controlled experimental device using ICT technology was developed to enable students to check the operation of electrical machinery while learning, and the effectiveness of this device was verified. Experimental materials were also developed to facilitate experiments in power electronics. Furthermore, an experiment combining these experimental materials with e-learning materials was conducted, and the effectiveness of the e-learning materials and experimental apparatus was verified through a questionnaire survey.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、教室に持ち運ぶことのできない大型の機器に対して、遠隔操作で実験を実施し、その様子を観察することで、実感を伴いながら学習することができる学習支援システムを開発した。また、授業中に実験をすることで、機器の動作をイメージすることができ、理解が深まるというアンケート結果が得らており、実験を取り入れた学習の有効性を確認している。このような遠隔実験は、電気機器に限らず、様々な分野に応用できるため、あらゆる分野における学習意欲や理解度の向上、知識の定着に貢献できると考える。
