韓日異文化理解力を育てる大学授業の試み-ピア・ラーニングを取り入れた教室活動-

Abstract

In this research, as a trial of University Class to foster Cross-Cultural Competence between Korea and Japan, we switched from teacher-centered to learner󰠏centered, incorporated peer-learning activities, and reported on the practice. The issue of peer learning activities incorporated in this lesson is “Let's find the difference” . The procedure of the peer learning activities in this lesson is as follows. (1) Explain the purpose of introduction and the goal of the activity and share it with the learners. (2) Form a group of three people (3) Explore group󰠏specific themes through group activities (4) Deepen understanding on the theme of each group (5) Summarize opinions on themes by group and prepare for presentation (6) Make a group presentation on group󰠏specific themes and discuss with all class members In the peer learning activities of this lesson, students spread the discussion of the same theme from “three-person group to all the classes”, and experienced the prototype, and were reminded of it. We aimed to reconsider ourselves. As a result of the activities, peer learning activities have enabled Korean and Japanese learners to change their perceptions of “culture” and “Cross-Culture”, and have been effective in improving their learning goals and satisfaction. It became clear that they recognized the necessity of introduction into the class. However, Korean learners have a negative opinion of the humble attitude of Japanese learners. It has been confirmed that this has a negative effect on the satisfaction of Korean learners in class. Only when there is ‘active exchange with peers’ can peer-learning activities be performed. The challenge for the future is to switch from the humble attitude of Japanese students to a positive attitude.
