レクチャー】グローバル時代の社会とつながる教育
グローバル化が急速に進行する21世紀は、20世紀にくらべて、生き残るのが想像がつかないほど難しい時代です。テクノロジー主導で情報化が進み、経済、社会構造が多様化してきた現在、私たちはこれまでになく複雑な問題を解決していくことを要求されるようになりました。高度の思考能力を使って、問題を解決する能力、異なる文化、異なる背景、異なる能力をもつ多くの人とネットワークをつくり、協働で作業する能力などを身につけることが将来のキャリア、人生で成功する条件となってきています。
このレクチャーでは、グローバル時代のキャリア形成、ライフデザインにつなげていくための先進的な教育における教育目標、教育実践、評価はどのようなものかを考えます。」

01:00pm Workshop by Professor Tohsaku
【ワークショップ】学習を促進する評価のデザイン：パフォーマンス評価とフィードバック
教育における評価は90年代に大きく変化し、以前の「わかる」評価から「できる」評価に変わるとともに、「成績をつける」から「学習を促進する」に主要目的が変化しました。それにともなって、学生が身につけた知識を実社会で使えるかどうかを調べるパフォーマンス評価が多用されるようになりました。また、学習の過程を評価して、フィードバックを適切に出し、学習を助けることがが重要と考えられるようになり、学習過程を評価する形成的評価の使用が増えました。
このワークショップでは、言語教育において、学習者のパフォーマンスを多面的に評価するツールをどのようにデザインし、また、どのように学習者に評価のフィードバックを与え、学習の促進を助けるかを考えます。
