京都光華女子大学における導入教育:「大学基礎講座」

Abstract

The Daigaku-Kiso-Kouza (basic course of university) is a freshman seminar at Kyoto Koka Women's University. The Daigaku-Kiso-Kouza started at 2000, as an extracurricular course to develop student's learning skills (e.g., how to take notes, how to write reports), and it became part of the regular class curriculum in 2001. The problem with this extracurricular course, however, was that the student attendance was low. The problem with regular classes was that there were many students who registered for the course, and the class became too large. The difficulties and the problems in class management, methods for solving these problems, and educational technology used in the class are introduced in this paper.
