eポートフォリオ構築の検討

If the students solve the problem in well-designed situation (e.g., lecture), it is sufficient to apply the skills that the student acquired in the lecture to the problem that has fixed answer. However, in realistic situations (e.g., research in university, work in company…) it is important to transfer the skills to a problem that does not have any fixed answer. Specifically, in realistic situation, to transfer the skill to the problem the students should design or regulate their own learning process. Thus, from perspective of higher education, it is important to aid the students to learn how to regulate their own learning in realistic situation. The aim of the present study is to develop an e-portfolio system, (called JAISTEP) for research in graduate school that aids the graduate student to regulate their own learning. Setting learning goal: The research activity in graduate school is a good example as realistic situation because the problems in research activity have no fixed answer. Thus, students in graduate school learn how to transfer their skill to problem if the students could regulate their own learning process by evaluation on what they have learned in research process. The JAISTEP system helps the students to set the learning goal by suggesting some helpful knowledge. Namely, the JAISTEP system shows the students template of research tasks (e.g., presentation of laboratory seminar), in which some learning goal (e.g., improving critical thinking) are suggested. Viewing the learning goals suggested by the task template, the students could set the learning goal in the research activity in the graduate school.Ⅱ．活動報告 / Center Activities, (５) e ポートフォリオ構築の検討/ Establishment of e-Portfoli
