Advantages and disadvantages of Online classes for students - Focusing on active learning in online environment -
抄録
This study aims to explore what students think about the advantages and disadvantages of online classes and those of face-to-face classes. We performed a free description-based questionnaire investigation targeting our students and elucidated the following four points: 1) Students think that the best point about online classes is freedom from time and location constraints. They can use their time freely until just before online classes. Consequently, it was observed that their attendance rate became higher, compared to the case of face-to-face classes. These are, however, inextricably linked to one of the disadvantages. They attend online classes at home mainly, and thus they think they tend to easily get distracted, lose motivation and get lazy. 2) Students think that it is difficult to have a discussion in online classes. There are a lot of students who have experienced difficulty in online communication with each other because of the difficulty in interpreting facial expressions. Online discussions actually tend not to be active. 3) Students think that one of the advantages of face-to-face classes is the ease of discussion. In face-to-face classes, they can communicate with each other with their five senses in the classroom in which they can concentrate. This leads to active discussions and the formation of cooperative relationships and personal connections with others, the point of which students consider as a big advantage. 4) Students consider the improvement of digital environment and online interactivity as challenges in the current online classes.
