研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This research project seeks to better ascertain how theoretical findings related to Active Learning (AL) have been practically implemented in a Japanese university educational context in order to more effectively prepare students for success in a short-term study-abroad program. The key research question in this study is: What Active Learning experiences do Japanese university students find effective in their home learning context and in their CLIL-based short-term study-abroad context?

研究実績の概要 |
I wrote a paper and made presentations a short-term study-abroad (STSA) program between a university in central Japan and a university in the south-west in the US. This study empirically assessed the impact of a six-week study-abroad program with the US university (conducted online as a virtual program due to the COVID-19 pandemic) on sophomore Japanese university students’ global-mindedness (GM). In addition, I presented on a study that examined the impact on the intercultural sensitivity of volunteer Thai university buddy partners who served as academic and cultural guides for eight visiting Japanese university students during a three-week study-abroad program in Thailand. Both of these studies were connected to educational contexts that promoted active learning-based pedagogical approaches.

理由
The original aim of this research was to examine the impact, including the effect and influence, of Active Learning-based programs on the academic ability of cohorts of students first in their home university context in central Japan, and then as they transition to the context of a required six-week study-abroad program at a US university. It has not been possible to examine this effect in the US because of COVID-19. Thus, this effect has been explored through a virtual mobility between a Japanese and US university, which has shown the impact on students' global-mindedness - a factor connecting to academic ability. Additionally, instruments measuring intercultural skills were used involving Japanese and Thai students to expand the scope of this research in an overseas Thai context.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
I plan to write an academic paper based on the research involving the intercultural instruments that was conducted in Thailand. I also plan to investigate the global-mindedness of Japanese university students, and other academically-related factors, which connect to active learning-infused programs (domestic and study-abroad). Since it is now possible for Japanese university students to study-abroad, rather than just do virtual mobility, I will now be able to investigate what changes, if any, that occur through actual participation in overseas programs. I plan to gather new data and to present and publish academic articles related to this research.
