From August to September 2016, Benesse Education Research Institute, an in-house think tank of Benesse Holdings Inc., targeted the principals and teachers of public elementary and junior high schools and public and private high schools nationwide. "Basic Survey on Learning Guidance" was conducted and the survey results were announced.
According to the survey, the percentage of teachers who are conscious of "classes incorporating group activities" in the question about "awareness of teachers toward the next course of study and the response situation of schools" is 10 years in all elementary, junior high and high schools. It is increasing in proportion, especially in high school (public), and the change is large, increasing by 31.3pt.
On the other hand, the decrease in consciousness was in "repetitive practice of calculations and kanji" in elementary and junior high schools, and "teacher-led lecture-style lessons" in high schools.
In addition, 81% of high schools (public general courses) with a four-year university entrance rate of 46.6% or more are in "research on test questions that measure thinking, judgment, and expressiveness", and 56.6% are in "4 skills of English for university entrance exams". It turned out that we are already working on "guidance corresponding to measurement and research on test questions".
With the need to respond to these new educational methods and educational content, teachers leave work late in elementary, junior high, and high schools, and the time spent at school is even longer. Compared to 10 years, the time spent in school has increased by 25 minutes in elementary school, 27 minutes in junior high school, and 17 minutes in high school.
From this survey, it can be seen that the change in consciousness about the lesson method tends to increase only in the learning between the students, and the lesson method that contributes to "independent, interactive and deep learning" in the next course of study. The result made me feel the need for further consideration and concrete content for implementation from 2020.
This survey was conducted for about 1998 years from 1997 for elementary schools, 20 for junior high schools, and 2010 years from 6 for high schools, and it is a major feature that it is possible to compare over time and between school stages.In addition, since 2010, when the previous survey was conducted, the current course of study has been fully implemented, and discussions on high school connection reform and university entrance examination reform have started.Furthermore, the change in teachers' consciousness as new educational measures were launched one after another, such as clarifying the qualities and abilities to be developed and the necessity of changing the teaching method in the deliberation of the next course of study. You can see it.
