Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the frequency and co-occurrence of vocabularies in the reports of each institution of higher education, which serves as the base material for TEF evaluation in the UK. As a result, it was also revealed that "student engagement" was ranked 5th after student experience, academic staff, student feedback, and academic support when looking at compound word scores. It became clear that "learning", "commitment", "enhancement", "approach", "activity", and "experience" came to the top in the co-occurrence relationship with "student engagement". In addition, the pronoun "we" is also ranked high, indicating that the university is working on student engagement.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究によって、ドキュメントレベルではあるが、"student engagement"が重視されていることが明らかになるとともに、英国高等教育機関が自ら努力して"student engagement"の向上・充実を目指していることが垣間見えた。このことは、今後"student engagement"(学生参画・学生エンゲージメント)を機関の内部質保証、認証評価活動に取り入れることを計画している日本の高等教育政策の方向性を決める際のよきガイドとなり得ると考えられる。また高等教育機関における評価文書に対するテキストマイニングの手法の有効性を一部なりとも示せた点は学術的意義があるものと考えられる。
