The Benesse Institute of Education and the Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo have been conducting a "parent-child panel survey" to track the same parents and children for 12 years since FY2015.This time, when we analyzed using the follow-up data (2018 people) of the children who graduated from high school in March 3 for 3 years in high school, the high school students who improved their grades objectively grasp their learning "meta". It turned out that I had (became) cognitive.
According to the survey, children whose grades change from high 2 to high 3 are "much higher" or "increased" are studying such as "re-doing the wrong problem in the test" and "studying while checking what you do not understand". The percentage of children who used the method was higher than that of children whose grades changed "much lower" or "decreased".In order to maintain high grades and improve grades, it is considered effective to learn while objectively grasping one's own learning, such as regularly checking and reviewing one's own learning = "metacognition".This tendency is particularly remarkable in those who have passed the difficult university, and the results suggest that the presence or absence of "metacognition" is effective in achieving high learning outcomes such as higher grades and passing the university.
In terms of reasons for studying (motivation for learning / motivation for learning), children with "much higher" or "increased" grades were more likely to study "because they are happy to know new things" ("much higher"). "Top" 57.0%, "Rise" 42.6%).On the other hand, it was found that 49.0% of children with "decreased" grades study "because they don't want to be swayed by teachers and parents".From these results, it is considered effective to study with curiosity and interest in learning (intrinsic learning motivation) in order to maintain or improve grades.Furthermore, it was found that the percentage of children with "increased grades" who were studying "because they wanted to go to the university of their choice" was high (86.2%).
From the results of this survey, the research team found that in order to achieve learning outcomes, schools and parents have the opportunity to have intrinsic learning motivation and future goals in their children's daily experiences and activities. He said that it is necessary for children to have "metacognition" and to support them so that they can analyze their own tasks and review how to proceed with learning.
