学習者発表の傾向と改善案 － 日本の大衆文化に関する発表に関して －

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand the problems of student presentations in Japanese popular culture classes and to improve them. The result of analysis of the presentations during the second semester in 2020 shows more than half of the presentations had the following issues: (1) arranging the events while not considering their mutual relationship, (2) not asking “why”, (3) unclear whole message. and (4) overwhelming number of topics covered within a limited time frame. In order to address the issues above, the students were told to map out “how” and “why” for each topic to draw out a conclusion. With this attempt, almost all had presented “why” for topics, not just listing the facts. However, there were still many without a clear whole message (see (3) above). Therefore, after reexamining all the presentations, the following difference has been observed between successful presenters and unsuccessful ones. If there was a clear whole message, a purpose and a conclusion corresponding to the purpose were presented. On the other hand, if there was none, either no purpose was presented or the conclusion did not not serve the purpose. Upcoming study will be conducted to see if presenters could structure the presentations incorporating “how” and “why” corresponding to a purpose and a conclusion corresponding to the purpose.
