キャリア形成支援を目的とした日本語会話授業の効果検証 ― 一枚ポートフォリオ評価(OPPA)で可視化する自己分析での学び ―

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a Japanese conversation course designed to support career development at a university in South Korea. During the self-analysis phase, the study introduced OPPA (One-Page Portfolio Assessment) to visualize students’ learning progress. Analysis of the descriptions in the OPPA sheets revealed that all students experienced changes between the pre- and post-learning stages. These changes were widely associated with a deeper understanding of personal characteristics and an increased awareness of career development. Moreover, the primary learning outcomes of the course included the ability to express ideas logically and insights into the self, indicating minimal discrepancy between the course objective of career development support and the students’ learning. This suggests that the course went beyond merely teaching Japanese and contributed to students' career development. Additionally, based on responses to a questionnaire on perceptions of OPPA, the study evaluated its appropriateness for implementation in this course. The findings confirmed that students perceived OPPA as an assessment tool to enhance metacognition and support learning, and they generally responded positively. Furthermore, since the majority of students reported no significant difficulties, it was concluded that OPPA was an appropriate addition to the course. Key areas for improvement in the course design include developing strategies to heighten students’ awareness of the career development process and ensuring that teachers encourage students to recognize OPPA’s role from the start of the course to enhance metacognitive engagement.
