| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Research in the Faculty of Education is carried out using various methods. The aim of this class is for students to learn about such research through the practical experience of investigation and experiential learning of the fundamentals of research. Students will work together in groups, thereby creating the opportunity for deep specialist discussion meetings. In addition, they will be given the chance to report outcomes (i.e., creating and delivering presentations); thus allowing them to experience the complete research process. As the their research progresses, researchers become ever more aware of what is still unknown. It is hoped that the experience of this phenomenon will motivate students to pursue specialist studies. Students of the latter segment of the Basic Introduction to Educational Studies II course will also attend this class. |
|||
| Course Goals |
・Students’ understanding of research methods should be deepened as they formulate research questions on a shared topic and pursue investigative activities as a group. ・Students should create and deliver poster-style presentations that concisely communicate their investigative process, its results, and issues that emerged. There should also be an improvement in their ability to respond to questions. |
