Kansai University regularly conducts questionnaire surveys of students and faculty with the aim of improving education and understanding the actual situation of students affected by the corona crisis.The student version received 2022 valid responses (response rate of 3,303%), and the faculty version received 11.9 valid responses (response rate of 159%).
When remote classes were first started due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was pointed out that students were confused, but this survey found that each item of problems in classes has decreased.For example, "Too many issues" decreased by 1 points from the first survey.One of the reasons for this is that both students and teachers have become accustomed to working remotely.
The "satisfaction" of the class was higher in the remote class (62.6%) than in the face-to-face class (79.4%).Compared to the results of previous surveys, there were no major changes in the face-to-face figures, but the "satisfaction" and "understanding" in particular increased significantly in the remote.As a result of this, the “fulfillment of learning” and “realization of growth” at university also increased in all grades.
When asked about the "frequency of activities experienced in distance learning," the result was that "questions," "feedback," and "assignment reports by LMS (learning management system)" were frequently performed.On the other hand, the frequency of "questions and answers" and "interactive activities" was low, especially "interactive activities" accounted for 44.5%, less than half.In addition, in the 2021 survey, the most important point for students to increase the motivation and effectiveness of distance learning was ``feedback from teachers,'' but the most common response in this survey was It was that "materials that can be reviewed many times are presented".
学年ごとに「学生生活に関する満足度」を尋ねたところ、「友達や先生との交流」が全体平均60.8％／3年次生54.4％、「大学の施設利用」が全体平均78.2％／3年次生71.8％、「課外活動」が全体平均51.2％／3年次生39.9％、「キャンパスでの大学生らしい生活」が全体平均57.6％／3年次生48.2％、「授業時間外での友人との勉強に関する交流」が全体平均64.2％／3年次生53.8％となり、いずれの項目においても3年次生が最も低い値だった。また、同様に「大学における学びの充実度」について尋ねたところ、全体平均82.3％で、3年次生のみ76.2％と最も低く、8割を下回る結果となった。
These tendencies of current third-year students (students enrolled in 3), who are entering the first year of the corona crisis, are often talked about in society. We will provide generous support to improve the satisfaction and fulfillment of life.
In addition, when we asked teachers about remote classes, "What kind of changes did you feel compared to face-to-face classes before the corona crisis?" Approximately 7% of the respondents answered that they had “improved” or “no change”.On the other hand, only about 4% of the respondents answered that it had become “worse” for “motivation and positiveness for interactive learning,” indicating that securing interactivity in distance learning is still an issue.
Professor Takeshi Yamada of the Education Promotion Department, who carried out this survey, points out that, as a key point for education at universities in the future, ``It can be said that distance learning has an advantage in basic classes on knowledge transfer. While refining the merits of teaching, there is still a need to improve education to raise the quality of face-to-face classes.It is important to skillfully incorporate the know-how and digital environment that have been accumulated during the COVID-XNUMX crisis in face-to-face classrooms."
