Due to the influence of the new corona virus, many universities focused on “distance classes” such as online in the first half of the year. In these circumstances, efforts have been initiated in each university, such as the fact that there are universities that allow students to choose between “face-to-face” and “remote” after thoroughly implementing infection control measures in the second semester.
I went to school, but …
Regarding university classes, even after June, when primary, secondary and secondary schools were resumed, many universities mainly taught distance classes in the first semester of the year because there is a risk of contagion due to the wide range of activities of students and the large number of students. , There was a problem dealing with some students who were never able to attend college after enrollment.
“Select” class style in the second semester
Sakuramibayashi University was an online class in the first semester, but in the second semester class from the 18th of this month, after taking measures against infection,
▽ “face to face”
▽ “Mixed online and face-to-face”
AND
▽ You can now select “Online Lessons”.
Before the second semester class, a campus tour for new students was held on the 15th, and many freshmen visited the university for the first time after enrollment.
The university introduced 30 thermograms this month to resume face-to-face classes, and students with a fever above 37 degrees were urged to go to the health room, so students also went through the entrance with thermography immediately. I was on tour. In addition, the application developed for students and teachers uses the location information to be displayed in red when many people gather in the territory of a classroom or cafeteria, which can be useful for so-called “three dense measures”. That is to say.
In addition, regarding the choice of the classroom or online option, male students said: “Since I live with my family, I can be sure that I can participate in classes in units of hundreds of people online. So far, I have I’ve been alone from morning to night. I stayed in my room and took classes online, so I want to enjoy the campus life I’ve been longing for since the fall. “
Yukihiro Ota, general manager of Sakurabirin Gakuen, which runs the university, said: “Some students want to go to campus, while others want to think a bit more carefully. The school does not force them to connect online or face-to-face. We would like to protect the learning environment with the cooperation of faculty, staff and students by establishing a system that allows selection based on individual judgment. “
80% is a combination of “face to face” and “remote”
According to a survey carried out by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, it was found that almost 20% of the universities taught face-to-face classes in the second half of the year and 80% of the universities used both face-to-face and face-to-face classes. the remote ones.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology surveyed a total of 1,060 schools across the country, including national, public and private universities, colleges and colleges of technology, before classes began for the second semester this month. and the next.
When I asked about the politics of the second semester class,
▽ 19% of those surveyed answered that they would do it in person.
▽ 80% of respondents responded that they would use face-to-face and remote communication, such as online.
It was found that 99% of universities and others adopt face-to-face classes.
Almost 60% of the “face-to-face” lessons
Looking at the percentage of face-to-face lessons that responded that they will be used together
▽ “Almost face to face” is 20%,
▽ “70% face to face” is 11%,
▽ “About half and half” is 25%,
In total, almost 60% of the classes are taught in person.
On the other hand, 19% answered that they were “almost remote” although they would use it together.
As a concrete answer,
▽ Carrying out experiments, practical training, seminars in small groups, etc. face-to-face
▽ In addition to many universities that offer face-to-face and remote classes at the same time,
▽ 90% of the universities have a consultation desk for the mental attention of students with anxiety.
In response to this result, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will issue a notice requesting the active consideration of face-to-face classes and mental attention for new students.
The presidents explain resuming “face to face”
Utsunomiya University, a national university that used to teach online in the first semester, will resume face-to-face lessons in the second semester, and the president and professors will visit the six Tohoku prefectures, where there are many graduates, to explain the policy of lessons to students. I will.
About 30 students and parents participated in the briefing held in Sendai City on the 12th of this month, and the university side will go head-to-head with the second half of the class starting on the 1st of next month, focusing on science experiments. and practical training. While informing him of the policy of raising the ratio to 30% or more, he explained that since there are many students going to school across the prefectural borders and the range of activities is wide, we will continue remote classes keeping in mind consider the risk of infection. ..
One student said, “I was relieved because I couldn’t see the future. I want to go to college early and meet a friend that you can only meet through the screen.”
Additionally, because the students are financially demanding, the university is responding by supporting 400 individuals with donations from local businesses and university faculty and staff.
Tomoyasu Ishida, President of Utsunomiya University, said: “It is important to maintain the quality of online education and have diverse experiences to further humanity and provide opportunities for face-to-face meetings and connections between students. There are some difficult parts to balance. , but as a university, I want to be close to the students. “
“Correspondence and wit that satisfy the students”
Regarding the results of this survey, Takashi Fuchigami, Director of the Division of Planning of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, said: “The number of face-to-face classes is increasing compared to the quarter above, and each university is analyzing the infection situation and improving the quality of student learning. I think it is the result of trying to develop high-quality lessons. Learning at university is also an important factor for the interaction between people and, of course, it is important to take measures to prevent infection, but the face-to-face lessons take place. It is an important setting in education, so I would like to continue to request it. “
