Gamification and e-Learning Dear blog readers, this is Tanimoto from Development, making my second appearance! I'd like to start off by asking, have you ever heard of "gamification"? To be honest, I have only heard of it. So, in this article, I will summarize gamification! After reading this article, you may feel like you know what gamification is! So let's take a look at gamification together! Table of Contents 1 . What is gamification? 2 . History and Purpose of Gamification 3 . Gamification and e-Learning 4 . Conclusion What is Gamification? According to "What is Gamification?　-A Comparison with Design History". If one were to give a positive definition of the term, it would be "the addition of game-like elements to an already existing object. Although often translated as "gamification," that is almost always a mistranslation, since gamification is not the creation of the game itself. (omission) In other words, it is a movement to incorporate elements of "games" into industrial products and various everyday activities, rather than making them into "games" themselves. Source: What is gamification?　-From a Comparison with the History of Design In other words, it means to add an extra game-like element to a service or product. For example, a "point system" or "level-based rewards" in a membership service are examples of game-like elements. Why is it necessary to incorporate gamification? Let's find out how gamification came into being and why we need to incorporate it! History and Purpose of Gamification Gamification began to attract the world's attention around 2011, and the birth of the term can be traced back to the birth of a new word "gamification" for a very old idea. According to "What is Gamification?　-A Comparison with the History of Design", the prehistory of gamification is Gamification is an attempt to encourage the "active participation" of learners in learning. This attempt is very old, and the realization that the learner's spontaneity is important in learning itself can be found even in the Analects of Confucius. (The study of spontaneous learning itself continues to be an extremely important issue in the fields of educational psychology, learning psychology, and gaming simulation research. Cited from: What is Gamification?　-From a Comparison with the History of Design as. In other words, as a prehistory of gamification, we can see that various studies have been approaching gamification to encourage spontaneous and active participation of learners. I believe that "motivation" and "self-efficacy" are related to spontaneous learning and active participation, but the details would be very lengthy, so I would like to introduce them at another time. To summarize the definition of gamification and the pre-history of gamification up to this point, the purpose of incorporating gamification can be described as "to encourage users to participate voluntarily or actively by adding an extra game-like element to a service or product". The purpose of gamification can be expressed as "to encourage users to participate spontaneously or actively by adding an extra game element to a service or product. Gamification and e-Learning As mentioned above, learning and gamification are a combination that has long been attracting attention, and the e-learning environment is no exception. In fact, it can be said that eLearning is a great match for incorporating game-like elements on the screen and game-like element mechanisms! Our LMS, learningBOX, also has gamification elements, so you can try it out just like a game! Here is the gamification element in learningBOX! Only the image on the right shows a badge!

Hello! My name is Shiraki, and I'm in charge of Human Resources! Recently, our air conditioner broke down and we are enduring the cold... I hope you all are aware of sudden breakdowns! In this article, I would like to write about "power harassment" which has been widely covered in news and newspapers, and the benefits of introducing e-learning training to prevent power harassment. Thank you very much for your kind attention. Click here for Table of Contents 1. "Power harassment" is on the rise 2. what is "power harassment" in the first place? 3. Does your company/organization provide training on measures against power harassment? 4. If you neglect training on measures against power harassment, there are risks such as the following... 5. 5. e-Learning can raise the level of knowledge on harassment to a certain level 6. summary Power harassment" is on the rise. The number of consultations regarding power harassment among the inquiries at the consultation corners set up at prefectural labor bureaus has been increasing year by year. In addition to the increase in the number of power harassment consultations, the number of cases of depression and other mental disorders caused by bullying and violence in the workplace and compensated for by workers' compensation is also increasing. Reference (Increasing Power Harassment) The following cases have actually occurred Click here to see the power harassment victims in 2019. Toyota employee commits suicide due to power harassment, develops adjustment disorder, and receives workers' compensation (11/19/2019) The director general of the Education Bureau played betting games at a government building (11/18/2019) Director General of the Bureau of Education takes a pay cut for "power harassment"(11/15/2019) ...Power harassment by a colleague...Kawagoe City Council member seeks action(11/7/2019) References (Harassment-related news) Individual labor disputes are also increasing so much! Power harassment tops the list of most frequently consulted topics by employees Summary of Harassment Power harassment is the most common form of harassment. In a survey by Nippon Life Insurance, one out of two respondents said that harassment has occurred around them. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's survey on "Occurrence of Power Harassment in Companies" (2016), 49.8% of all responding companies had actually received at least one consultation regarding power harassment in the past three years, and 36.3% of all responding companies had actually had a case of power harassment What is power harassment? The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare defines power harassment in the workplace as "acts that cause mental or physical pain or aggravate the work environment to those who work in the same workplace against the background of superiority in the workplace, such as job status or human relations, beyond the appropriate scope of work. Superiority in the workplace" includes not only job status, but also human relations, experience, expertise, and various other advantages. In other words, in addition to harassment between supervisor and subordinate, harassment between senior and junior employees, between colleagues, and even between subordinates and supervisors can also be considered as power harassment. Even if you think you have a vague understanding of the term, when you actually look into it, you will find that the definition of what constitutes power harassment is vague, and the line between words and actions is often indeterminate, depending only on your personal judgment. It was difficult for me to understand everything about "power harassment. This time, I made a quiz on the contents related to power harassment using our e-learning program. How well do you understand power harassment? The quiz contains 5 questions in total. And since explanations are included, we hope you'll take this opportunity to take the quiz! You can take advantage of e-learning! By making the quiz, you can check the lack of knowledge and understanding of harassment, as well as any gaps in perception. By visualizing the learner's performance data, you can analyze the level of knowledge and understanding of harassment within your company. Passing scores for the quiz can also be set arbitrarily, so you can raise the knowledge level of the entire company by raising the passing standard! Does your company/organization provide training to prevent power harassment? The results show that more than 80% of companies feel the importance of anti-harassment measures. While 80% of companies are aware of the problem, only just over 50% are actually taking steps to address it. Furthermore, this breakdown varies depending on the size of the company: for companies with more than 1,000 employees, the percentage is just under 90%, and as the number of employees decreases, the percentage decreases to less than 30% for companies with less than 100 employees. While large companies are taking firm measures to deal with this problem, small and medium-sized companies seem to be aware of the problem, but are unable to take action because the person in charge is often juggling various other duties. Neglecting to provide training in anti-harassment measures can lead to the following risks. Social risks such as compensation issues In some cases, companies have been required to pay tens of millions of yen in compensation in lawsuits due to harassment. The risk of neglecting harassment can lead to serious risks such as damage to the company's image due to compensation issues. Decrease in business efficiency and productivity Lack of employee motivation, deterioration of workplace atmosphere, and mental health problems caused by internal bullying and harassment can lead to a decline in business efficiency and productivity. Outflow of excellent human resources Deterioration of internal atmosphere and business performance due to harassment causes outflow of excellent human resources to other companies. We have learned that anti-harassment training is very important for the growth and development of a company. However, most of you probably do not know what kind of training or education you should actually have your employees receive. An Internet search will only find fragmented knowledge. It takes a lot of time and money to call an instructor, and ...... We can't afford to give careful guidance to each one of you. ...... That's when you need help!

Hello, my name is Morishita from the Development Department. I am a new programmer who has been with the company for two months. Let me start by asking, have you ever heard of "metacognition"? Metacognitive ability" is now attracting attention as it is reputed to be effective in improving work ability. What kind of ability and why does it enhance work performance? In addition to work skills, there are other factors necessary for efficient work. One of them is "metacognition. This paper introduces the relationship between "metacognition" and "e-learning. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is metacognition? 2. why is metacognition attracting attention in the field of learning? 3. the relationship between e-learning and metacognition 4. learningBOX has many functions to promote metacognition! 5. summary What is metacognition? Metacognition is the ability to objectively evaluate one's own thoughts and actions from a higher perspective by taking a step back. Since its concept was proposed by J.H. Flavell in the 1970s, it has been widely recognized in fields such as psychology, brain science, and education. If we can properly evaluate our own learning activities, we can continue to learn effectively. This is often explained by the concept of "metacognition. Recently, a joint study by Benesse Holdings and the University of Tokyo (press release in March 2019) was conducted and, to our surprise, the study reported that high school students whose grades increased had (came to have) "metacognition" to view their learning objectively. Did you know that "metacognition" is related to higher grades? According to these studies, being able to "understand what you don't understand" and being aware of "what you are working for" are extremely important for smooth progress in learning. In addition, Endo (2018) of the University of Fukui describes self-evaluation in learning as "metacognitive activity" as follows 　People check and inspect their own cognitive processes as metacognitive monitoring, and then, based on the monitored results, improve and adjust their cognitive activities as metacognitive control. This metacognitive activity is the core of self-evaluation activity. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Koji Tanaka (ed.), Takahiro Endo (2018). Understanding Educational Evaluation, 2nd Edition, Minerva Shobo (V-5. Children's Self-Evaluation, p. 61). Models of metacognitive activities You have another self observing (monitoring) yourself from one higher perspective and modifying (controlling) your thoughts and actions. This is also true in our daily lives when we view ourselves objectively and try to control our words and actions, etc. Why is metacognition gaining attention in the learning field? In the first place, human beings have the ability to. Not many people can evaluate themselves objectively (it is very difficult). The same can be said about study and learning. Because they are not able to "objectively" evaluate their learning goals and learning status. ⇒This is why "meta-cognition" is attracting attention. While you are in school, your teachers evaluate you. When you become a member of society, "senior employees" instruct you on the knowledge and skills necessary for work and the rules for working adults. In larger companies, there may be "OJT staff" or a "mentor system". However, it is usually rare to have someone who is always there to evaluate your learning progress. Especially the more complex the task is, the more you will need to judge and correct yourself many times to see if the work and your way of doing it are really appropriate. Improved metacognition has a significant impact on learning effectiveness. Here are some examples of how metacognition has affected learning effectiveness. Case 1: "Metacognition" Tracking the Same High School Student for Three Years Effectively Increases Grades Using three years of high school tracking data (703 children) of children who graduated from high school in March 2018, we looked at the changes for each child, and found that high school students whose grades increased had (or had come to have) an intrinsic motivation to learn and goals for the future. In addition, high school students with higher grades were found to have (or have come to have) "metacognition" ("metacognitive strategies") to view their own learning objectively. This trend was particularly pronounced among those who had been accepted to difficult-to-enter universities, suggesting that the presence or absence of metacognition is effective in achieving high learning outcomes, such as higher grades and university acceptance. (Reference: Benesse Education Research Institute) Case 2: Metacognition is involved in the environment and work necessary for the process of children's growth It was found that children whose grades changed "all the way up" or "rose" from the second to the third year of high school were more likely to utilize study methods (metacognitive strategies) such as "redoing questions they got wrong on tests" and "studying while checking what they do not understand. In addition, children whose grades "rose" were more likely to utilize these study methods. (Reference: "Metacognition" is effective in raising grades) Review of Metacognitive Skills POINT Enhancing metacognitive skills will develop the ability to analyze what is known, and to evaluate and provide feedback on the setup and work processes necessary to solve problems. Appropriate monitoring and control is expected to enhance learning effectiveness. If the learning objectives are vague, it is difficult to know how to study. Another reason for frustration is that the scope of the study is not clearly defined, or that students start with things that are too difficult. Have you ever thought, "I thought I studied pretty hard, but I didn't learn as much as I thought I would..."? Have you ever had such a situation? This may be because you are not able to evaluate and grasp your own learning situation in detail. Relationship between e-learning and metacognition ☑POINT E-learning can enhance metacognitive skills necessary for learning. E-learning systems can quantify and visualize performance data and learning status. E-learning systems can be set up to match the learner's level and goals. The system can also be used to analyze the results of the study, and to identify at a glance the type of learning process of each individual (e.g., rush-into, habit-forming, and run-away-from-the-moment types). ➡You can "further enhance your meta-cognitive abilities" by understanding your own learning progress and arrangements! It is difficult to keep learning while keeping metacognition at a high level at all times. e-Learning, by playing a part in metacognitive activities, will help learners improve their metacognition, which in turn will lead to more effective learning outcomes. learningBOX has a full range of features that can promote such metacognition! With learningBOX's grade management function, you can easily check the learner's learning progress information. Learning status and grade dating can be quantified and graphed to support accurate monitoring of learners. Individual grade information can also be checked immediately. In this article, we will introduce the system using the "Information Security Training" used in Tatsuno Information System's training programs. By actively using e-learning for learning activities, it is possible to accurately visualize the learning status each time. This not only stabilizes the accuracy of monitoring, but also reduces the burden of monitoring on the learners themselves, giving them more time to focus on appropriate control and higher-level monitoring (their own more detailed thought process), which is expected to support the improvement of learners' metacognition. Recommended features of learningBOX Learners can easily check grades and learning progress on their smartphones! →The grade management function allows learners to visualize their learning status! Learners' grades and learning status can be utilized as materials for course creation! →Easy to create courses and set up groups according to the learner's level! The ability to create questions to check comprehension for tests and examinations is amazing! →Even those who are not good at computer operation can create quizzes and exam questions from the day they read the manual! learningBOX has many more features to support and follow up your learners' education than just grade management! You can learn more about the functions and how to set them up on the usage page here. If you want to promote metacognition, please register as an owner of learningBOX now! Conclusion In this article, we have introduced the metacognitive skills necessary for effective work. In order to produce effective learning outcomes, appropriate self-assessment is necessary. Metacognitive activities, the core of self-evaluation, should be based on the results of "monitoring (confirmation and inspection)" and "control (improvement and adjustment). e-Learning visualizes (data) the learning status and supports accurate monitoring of learners.

Preventing information leaks "Security training using e-learning" This is Kinoshita👓, CS Implementation Support Manager. It's been a while since I've posted a blog entry, but there are only a few days left in 2019. I hope you are enjoying the new year. The first year of 2022 was a year of many major events for our company, including the relocation of our new office and our participation in exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka, for which we are very grateful. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again. Now, let's get right to this article! I would like to ask, "Does your company have adequate security knowledge, measures, and training?" In this article, I would like to introduce a security training program that uses e-learning to protect your company's customer information from information leaks! Please take a look at this article as well. Click here for Table of Contents 1. compensation for damages caused by personal information leaks 2. importance of security training 3. demand and expectation of e-learning 4. using learningBOX to create security training 5. summary Compensation for damages caused by personal information leaks Here are the estimated damages due to personal information leakage incidents that occurred during the year 2018. In terms of the number of people per information leakage incident, the information and telecommunications industry ranked first (1,712,580 people). (Source: Japan Network Security Association) Importance of Security Training By cause, the three most common causes are "Lost and misplaced", "Mishandled", and "Unauthorized access", accounting for approximately 701 TP2T of the total. As can be seen from the cause-by-cause breakdown, human error due to omissions, lack of security awareness, and other factors are related to the causes, making it essential to raise security awareness among all employees, including company executives. (Source: Japan Network Security Association) The impact of information leaks can cause immeasurable damage to customers and business partners. Economic loss, loss of company credibility, penalties and penalties, etc... It is frightening just to think about it. Demand and Expectations for e-Learning Learning Training and learning using e-learning are attracting more and more attention as a means of "education big data, EdTech, work style reform, next-generation group training, and advanced educational matters". It is expected to become one of the most popular forms of learning, and the number of companies introducing it is increasing every year. Among them, more and more companies are focusing on internal training and education such as compliance, information security, and corporate training. Advantages of e-Learning Learning E-learning is very convenient because individuals can study as needed and repeat what they do not understand. Perhaps the greatest advantage is the ability to easily prepare, review, and re-study at the time one wishes to learn. By improving the business skills of each individual, it helps employees, the company, and the entire company to grow and improve its bottom line, which directly leads to improved operational efficiency. Using learningBOX to conduct security training Tatsuno Information System provides "security training" to employees in this way. Our learningBOX can easily create and conduct security training. This time, we would like to introduce security training using content provided free of charge by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA). IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan) The IPA is a policy organization that plays a part in IT policies to realize a "dependable IT society" by ensuring the safety and reliability of information society systems, which are becoming increasingly complex and vast, and is developing measures for information security, software reliability, and IT human resource development. (Reference: IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan)) Security Training Flow Click here for security training using learningBOX. Please check the video With learningBOX, security training can be taken as a course study. By making it a course study, only those who have reached certain learning procedures and passing scores can be issued a certificate. We also recommend the following features and settings Allow each group or department to take the training. The number of times a learner can take a course can also be restricted. The number of times a learner can take a class can be limited. The number of times a learner can take a course can also be limited. For more information on how to set up and use the LearningBOX, please refer to the LearningBOX page. Conclusion Raising the awareness of all employees is crucial in security education. Just handing out thick handouts or informing employees of a token policy is not enough to raise employee awareness. It is important to have a system to ensure compliance with security, and e-learning is one such system. e-learning allows for more detailed analysis, quantification, and evaluation of the learner's level of understanding. We hope that our e-learning system (learningBOX) will be useful for your company's security measures. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

What is an e-Portfolio? Nice to meet you, blog readers! I'm Tanimoto from Development! I'm Tanimoto, a developer 👟I'm sorry to interrupt, but have you ever heard of "e-Portfolio"? When you hear the word "portfolio", you may think "it is used in the world of investment and finance" or "it is a kind of summary of designs I have created", I think what comes to mind when you hear the word "portfolio" is different for each person. After reading this article, you may feel like you know what an e-Portfolio is! So let's take a look at ePortfolio together! Click here for the Table of Contents 1 . What is a portfolio? 2 . e-Portfolio 3 . What are the advantages of using an ePortfolio? 4 . Conclusion What is a portfolio? According to Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, "a thin flat case used for carrying documents, drawings, etc." meaning a case for carrying papers, etc. Quoted from Oxford Learner's Dictionaries Originally used as a paper holder, it came to mean a person's past works or a collection of works in the field of design when painters and other artists started using it to carry their own works. In the field of finance, the term "portfolio" came to be used because in the past, securities were often kept in a pair of scissors. And in the field of education 　Portfolio evaluation methods are also a type of performance evaluation, but the term "portfolio" originally referred to the scissors, or files or scrapbooks, that painters, architects, newspaper reporters, and other professionals use to market themselves to their employers. For example, a painter would bind his masterpieces, leaflets of his solo exhibitions, and reviews in newspapers. The artist's ability and style, as well as his/her social reputation, can be seen at a glance. 　In the portfolio evaluation method, learners (students and pupils) systematically accumulate their own works, records of self-evaluations, and records of teacher instruction and evaluations, which are edited from time to time and discussed using the portfolio. In this way, learners are encouraged to self-evaluate their own learning, and teachers are encouraged to evaluate their own learning activities and their own teaching activities. (Source: Minutes of the 7th Meeting of the Special Committee on High School-University Connection, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) states that Now that you have seen portfolios used in three different fields, you may have a better idea of what a portfolio is. Now let's take a look at the e-Portfolio, the subject of this issue! e-portfolio Finally, let's talk about the main topic, e-portfolio. In Japan, e-portfolio is used by the Japan Educational Information Management Organization (JEMO), which is authorized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to operate "JAPAN e-Portfolio". There, you can Students can record the results of their school classes, events, club activities, qualifications and certificates they have obtained, and activities outside of school during their high school life, reflect on their learning and achievements in the future, and use the accumulated "learning data" for applications to individual universities. Reference: What is "JAPAN e-Portfolio"? It is said to be a system that This means that the type of learning a person has engaged in, school events, club activities, and other learning, as well as qualifications and certifications obtained by the person himself/herself, are stored as data and utilized. JAPAN e-Portfolio" aims to utilize the accumulated data for university entrance examinations. For more information on which universities support this program, please click here. In other words, e-portfolio is about using the Internet to store portfolio data. Why use the Internet to store data? Because there are advantages to using the Internet. Next, we will look at the advantages of managing your portfolio over the Internet! What are the advantages of using e-Portfolio? Let's take a look at the advantages of using an e-Portfolio. Advantage 1・Reduction of cost and space Advantage 2: Access to portfolios regardless of time or location Advantage 3・Availability of data (for use in university admissions and by teachers) Regarding Merit 1, reducing costs and space, storing student grades on paper requires space for storing paper and the cost of the paper itself. By storing them as data, it is possible to reduce space and paper costs. The second advantage, access to portfolios regardless of time or location, is also related to the first advantage. If the results are stored in paper form, the user must either go to the location where the paper is located or have it sent to them. When the data is stored as data, students can look back at their own data, and teachers can look at the data of their students at any time and place. Advantage 3, the availability of data (e.g., for use in university entrance examinations), can be used with the JAPAN e-Portfolio service, which is used for university entrance examinations. In this way, a person's grades and achievements can be utilized by taking advantage of the property of being accessible regardless of location, as described in Merit 2. Conclusion How was your experience? If you have read this far, you may now have a clearer picture of e-Portfolio. We believe that e-portfolios will be used more and more in the future. We, as a provider of LearningBOX, a Learning Management System (LMS), are not to be outdone! We will continue to develop this system to your satisfaction, and we look forward to working with you in the future!

GeoGebra," a math learning support tool Now, I have explained how to study mathematics using learningBOX, but when I look back on my own study of mathematics, the content of study became much more difficult as the grades increased, and it became more complicated to visualize 'complex expressions and functions, algebra, geometry, calculus, etc.'. I often sighed to myself, "If only the equations in these problems could be expressed in graphs and figures, I would understand them better." I often sighed. But nowadays? However, nowadays, there are convenient apps for math teaching materials! What's more, you can visualize it! Furthermore, the data you create can be used to create questions for learningBOX. You can easily create graphs using this tool. This application is a learning support application for mathematics covering all fields of mathematics from junior high school to university. It is free to use for educational and learning purposes. It is useful for creating teaching materials and problems for classes, and it will also help students to better understand what they are learning. Graphics views created with Geogebra can be exported in png/pdf/eps/svg/emf format via the "Export Images" menu. In this case, I exported in png format. The curves did not become blurry or jagged even when the image size was scaled up or down. You can also export videos as GIF animations. This is very useful for graphing tools. If you are interested, please check here.

Hello, this is Nagai🎮 of the Quality Control Department, still unable to let go of my fan due to the hot and cold weather. October has arrived in the blink of an eye! In this article, I would like to share with those who want to create quizzes that can be used in e-learning, what to keep in mind when creating quizzes in the question making form and how to solve them. For those of you who are using our QuizGenerator or learningBOX and are having trouble with the questions not displaying well, how can you solve the problem? We are here to help you! If you know how to solve a small input error, you can quickly deal with it! Thank you very much for your cooperation. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. what is deceptive appearance? 2. how to solve it 3. summary What is deceived by appearance? First of all, please look at the following image. The text is typed in the "problem statement" section. At first glance, it looks like you are just typing "Don't let appearances deceive you. But if you check the actual source code, you will see ・・・・・ *This is just an example, and in some cases it can be even more complicated. Font specifications, paragraphs, headings, and many other things may be specified. ➡ " This is what I call being fooled by appearances." When do you see this kind of phenomenon? This phenomenon may occur when you use "copy and paste" which you usually use casually when creating quizzes. It is easy to create questions by copying and pasting the information you have entered in the question creation form or the text and contents posted on the Internet, but "unnecessary information such as extra line breaks, spaces, special fonts, and machine dependent characters are also incorporated when creating quizzes. Some problems occur when multiple questions are combined into one, as well as the display of the player's screen is corrupted. If a question does not display as expected, these are the most likely causes💦. Solution This is caused by using the issue creation form and you will need to check the source code for confirmation." The easiest way around this is to use text." To be precise, it is the method of using standard text. Standard text does not allow the use of html tags and only the bare text data is entered. You can adjust the text here and create questions in text format as is, or you can copy and paste it into the question creation form. You can use the standard text as you wish once you have gone through the standard text. Summary When using the question form to create a question, you may find that it appears differently than you intended. It may seem convenient, but there are unexpected pitfalls. However, html tags are there to display problems beautifully. The html tags are not that difficult to understand. Some people reject them just by looking at the English language, but I want them to touch them just a little. Furthermore, by applying HTML tags and other techniques, you can create interesting problems, such as this one. This article is a bit of advice for those who want to create quizzes that can be used in e-learning. Our e-learning system, learningBOX, has a very wide variety of quiz formats and options. Of course, we are happy to consult with you on the creation of quizzes as well. Please feel free to contact us. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

Nice to meet you. My name is Yokoyama🐈, and I am a developer. Have you ever heard of STEM education? This is an educational model that started in the United States in the 2000s. This paper introduces STEM education, which is attracting attention around the world. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is STEM education? 2. STEM Education Overseas 3. STEM Education in Japan 4. summary What is STEM education? STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and was proposed by the National Science Foundation in the 2000s. STEM education was originally initiated to increase enrollment in science and engineering fields in order to increase global competitiveness in science and technology. Today, the concept has expanded and diversified to include various related concepts, such as STEAM education with the addition of Art and STREAM education with the addition of Robotics, as creativity and sensitivity are becoming increasingly important in preparation for a super-smart society. It is not just education in science and engineering fields, Emphasis on practical skills From subject-specific education to cross-disciplinary education hands-on, creative, and proactive introduction of new technologies emphasis on integration and diversity of people: ensuring fairness of educational opportunities Emphasis on value of K-12 (K-12 elementary education) Emphasis on STEM teacher development and other initiatives are being undertaken around the world as a comprehensive education closely linked to society and creativity. STEM Education Overseas STEM education began in the U.S. and is now being actively pursued as a national policy in countries around the world.

In particular, science and technology kindergartens in partnership with high-tech companies allow students to learn about robotics, computers, space, and more. STEM education with special emphasis on programming and cyber security Singapore Traditionally emphasized the importance of nurturing the elite who will be at the helm of the country Particular focus on fostering human resources for key industries such as IoT, robotics, AI, biotechnology, etc. Recently introduced "humanistic education" to nurture non-cognitive skills Providing a generous, supported AI education program for young professionals to strengthen the country's AI human resource capacity Integrated program for secondary education and college preparatory education Personalization of learning and cross-disciplinary knowledge understanding and utilization through EdTech seems to be the global trend. STEM Education in Japan STEM education efforts in Japan seem to be mainly conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been conducting Super Science High Schools since 2002. The MEXT aims to develop future international science and technology-related human resources, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has designated high schools that provide advanced science and mathematics education as "Super Science High Schools" in order to develop future international science and technology professionals, Development and implementation of curricula that are not based on the Courses of Study, and promotion of problem-based research, Since 2002, the program has been supporting experiential and problem-solving learning through observation and experimentation. Source: Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology/Super Science High School Furthermore, various measures are being taken to fully implement programming education in elementary schools from FY2020. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has set forth three pillars for educational reform: "STEAM-ization of learning," "Independence and individual optimization of learning," and "Creation of a new learning foundation. STEAM-ization of Learning With each student's unique excitement at the core, "knowing" and "creating" will be circulated to create a learning environment that integrates the humanities and sciences. Independent and personalized learning Learning that allows students to choose how they learn based on their individual cognitive characteristics and level of achievement. Creation of a new learning foundation Learner-centered, digital-first, seamless schooling with society. In Japan, as in other countries, EdTech is being used to personalize learning, and to understand and utilize knowledge across the board. Conclusion STEM education is not only education in science and engineering fields, but also comprehensive education to "create and utilize AI and create new values" for a super-smart society. STEM education started in the U.S. and is now being actively pursued as a national policy in countries around the world. Personalization of learning and cross-cutting knowledge understanding and utilization through the use of EdTech The day may come in the not-so-distant future when e-Learning will be conducted using one computer or tablet per person as a matter of course!
