Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study presents the development of a learning support system aimed at fostering self-directed learning in children through community activities. The system seeks to enhance computational thinking, ICT literacy, and social perspectives. At the core of our approach is the "Learning Feedback System," which supports the design and evaluation of educational activities within three main initiatives: "Programming Classrooms," a seminar-style program where students select learning courses based on their interests and abilities using Scratch and Python; "Children's City," a child-centric community development experience; and "Walk Adventures," a team-based mission completion competition. Additionally, we have developed the "Learning Output Sharing Platform," which enables participants to share their activity outcomes. This platform is intended to enhance collaborative learning and provide a space for children to showcase their achievements, thereby reinforcing their educational experiences.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

全国各地で実践されている地域活動やプログラミング教育において、児童生徒に対する適切な振り返り機会を提供することは重要な課題である。本研究では、各活動の学習設計と学修フィードバックシステムにゲーミフィケーション要素を導入し、本人の志向や適性に合った学修フィードバックを即時に提供することで、楽しみながら活動を振り返る機会を提供することができた。加えて、各種活動により創出された学修成果物を共有することで、アウトプット主体の学びの好循環を生み出す仕組みを提案した。これにより、子ども達が情報発信の意義を理解するとともに、他者との学び合いによる新たな着想や学びの省察が期待できる。
