Shizuoka University, Imabari City, Kyocera Document Solutions Co., Ltd., and KDDI Research, Inc. have conducted empirical research on description and speech analysis in active learning classes using ICT as part of "21st century skill" education support. Will start at 3 elementary and junior high schools in Imabari City.

 Currently, the ability to independently ask and solve questions and create new value while collaborating with others, "21st century skills," is being emphasized worldwide. The next course of study report submitted in December 2016 showed the promotion of active learning and the effective use of ICT in order to foster independent, interactive and deep learning, based on the viewpoint of active learning. There is a need for constant improvement of lessons.

 However, in active learning, it is difficult for a single teacher to record and analyze the learning process and learning effects of all the students because they are divided into many groups for discussion. The difficulty of teaching has become an issue.Therefore, the purpose of this empirical study is to present the analysis results of learning record data to teachers by utilizing ICT and advanced application tools, and to support the practice of active learning and the reflection of continuous learning activities. It is done in.

 In the empirical research, among the learning activities of active learning, especially for the digital worksheet description and utterance in the dialogue activity by small groups, the description and utterance of the children and students in the group work are accumulated as learning record data. Automatically analyze those changes and transitions.By "visualizing" the discussion process, teachers are encouraged to integrate instruction and evaluation.

 In addition, we will develop an application that can handle lessons in which the group organization changes during the lesson.Specifically, the utterance data is collected by recording the utterance contents of each student, and the understanding state of each student's learning contents is estimated.Furthermore, in order to measure how much understanding has deepened from the beginning to the end of the lesson, the learning outcome is measured from the transformation of the description on the worksheet.By analyzing these utterance data and descriptive data in combination, comprehensive analysis is possible, and the learning effect of many groups is evaluated and the effect on class improvement is verified.The research period is from January to March 2017.
