Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop the method of evaluation and assessment for practical use of knowledge in learning opportunities.
Firstly, we made a MANGA-case textbook as a benchmark tool for further process. Multiple topics are embedded in the textbook so that learners are expected to find them and connect them together. We have conducted several domestic and international workshops with this. Secondly, we tried to develop three ways of assessment: Persona-Conjoint method, Relation-Construct method and Key-Phrase Finding Method. Persona-Conjoint tries to find the elements which are connected to characters in the textbook while Relation-Construct method focused on network and context of human and things. Key-Phrase Finding showed every single learners’ viewpoint which reveals not only the learner’s but also the group’s feature. We have done pre and post questionnaire in the classrooms to find out what is the differences and what they have realized through the discussion.
