Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to improve an e-learning type simulation material for developing interpersonal problem-solving skills for university students, prototyped in 2018, and to determine whether metacognitive skills are utilized and whether learning effects are transferred and maintained through the use of the material. Four materials were developed: a review material for metacognitive knowledge retention, materials 1 and 2 for promoting the use of metacognitive skills, and material 3 for evaluating and facilitating transfer. The results showed that students who had retained the knowledge learned in the lectures were able to solve problems in new interpersonal conflict situations in line with the thinking processes learned in the lectures, indicating that the learning outcomes were transferable.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ソーシャルスキルの育成では，効果が転移，維持しにくいことが課題として指摘されている．つまり，特定の文脈で学んだスキルを他の場面に応用できないこと，時間がたつと使えなくなることが問題となっている．本研究では，転移を可能にするためにメタ認知に着目したうえでカリキュラムの再設計を行い，講義と講義時間外に実施したゲーミング教材によってメタ認知の指導を試みた．結果より全体の1/3程度の学生は転移が確認された．今後は，今回開発した教材をさらに改良するとともに，教材実施後のディブリーフィングの方法を工夫するなどしていくことによって，転移効果をさらに向上できると考えられる．
