Outline of Final Research Achievements

The flipped learning approach was implemented in a class for international students to develop academic presentation skills, and the effectiveness of this approach was verified. As a result, there was no difference in the CEFR-A level of academic can-do statements, but the flipped classroom implementation class achieved significantly higher results in the B/C level and overall average. The analysis of the viewing rate of the pre-lesson videos showed that the viewing rate for content related to prior knowledge was low, while the viewing rate for content related to higher-order skills and academic skills was high. There was a high negative correlation between video length and viewing rate, and it was confirmed that the viewing rate dropped significantly after 9 and 15 minutes. The learners generally evaluated the pre-lesson videos and the flipped classroom format positively, suggesting the effectiveness of the flipped learning.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、第一に、日本語教育の分野ではほぼ未開拓である高次能力学習型反転授業の有効性を検証したことである。知識・スキルの獲得を予習動画において学習し、運用面の練習及び振り返り、教員によるフィードバックを授業時間に行うという授業形態は機能しており、高次能力学習型の反転授業の有効性が示唆された。それらは、高次能力養成を行う日本語教育の効果を高め、学習者に多様なスキルを身に付けさせることで、学術的にも社会的にも大きな意義を持つと考える。また、高次能力を養うための具体的なカリキュラムや教材の開発に寄与する成果を出すことができたと思われる。
