Online Classes (Remote Classes)
-
Both synchronous and asynchronous types of classes have been tried.
-
Small-sized classes and practical training are synchronous and interactive.
-
Students find asynchronous classes easier to learn.
- The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) states that it is difficult to ensure the effectiveness of asynchronous classes.
-
In asynchronous classes, 65% of students spent 1.5 to 2 times more time on learning.
- This suggests that they repeated the content or paused to look up information.
-
This may be particularly true for overcrowded medical classes.
If classroom face-to-face classes are limited to transmitting knowledge, there is a possibility that their significance will be lost.
Many universities aim for classes to not only transmit knowledge and concepts but also to solve problems through their application and to foster the sharing of experiences among students. The goals of classes include not only transmitting knowledge and concepts but also cultivating attitudes, learning attitudes, research mindsets, and internationalism. However, if face-to-face classes in the classroom are limited to transmitting knowledge and concepts, what impression will students who have experienced this type of asynchronous classes in the post-COVID-19 era have? Can we say that this experience has given us an opportunity to reconsider the significance and way of face-to-face classes in the classroom?
- I think there is a lot to lose even in the transmission of “knowledge and concepts” if interactivity is lost (blu3mo).
- I would like to summarize that aspect.
