Outline of Final Research Achievements

With the use of the same English e-learning system in various university settings, what kind of learners are "ideal learners" and what kind of autonomous behaviors are observed among them were investigated. As a result, it was demonstrated that ideal learners have a tendency to study relatively small amount of tasks at relatively short intervals. In other words, those who study a relatively small but definite amount of tasks on definite days of the week are considered “ideal learners” in terms of quantity and effectiveness of learning.
