ユビキタス学習環境における日本語教育 -メディアを利用した教育概念の体系化-

Abstract

These days, as digital devices have been varied and thus learning respondingto multi-devices using smart phone begins to be highlighted, some other terms areintroduced: m-learning, smart learning, social learning and u-learning followinge-learning. As a result of introduction of these terms during short period, it seemsthat their definitions are diversified and they are misused. In this study, the terms usingsome media are largely divided into <learning form> and <learning environment> andmade to respond to future technology development. The <learning form> refers tovarious apparatus used in education. In short, it is a group in which the developmentof a new device leads to the creation of a term. The <learning form> was alsosubdivided into the ≪real time≫ such as 'the remote learning using the TVconference system' and 'the real time type of online lesson', and the ≪on demand≫such as e-learning, m-learning and CSPL. On the other hand, the <learningenvironment> means the term group with a paradigm(norm) which suggests thedirection of education using some media: ubiquitous learning, smart learning, sociallearning. This study presents the 12 items such as Self-directed, Motivation, Adaptive,Resource Enriched, Technology embeded, Accessibility, Repetition, Immediacy,Mobility, Interactive, Social, Action as the education paradigm using media. Byallowing these 12 items to respond to each learning forms, it is found that moreeffective learning of Japanese language can be facilitated through the introductionof not only the existing e-learning but m-learning and real time type of online lesson. Therefore, the blended learning which combines the ≪real time≫and the ≪ondemand≫ may be more useful at the Japanese language education in the ubiquitouslearning environment.
