After Corona, how will the school change?

Hello, this is Kaburaki, GLI representative.

 

Sunday the 24thGLI Online Parent Study Group."It was.

 

The children have already been online for two months, but for the parents this was their first time online.

 

Theme.Post-Corona Education, Schools, and Exams."It was.

What are schools (especially private schools) doing now, and what will happen to classes and examinations in the future? I talked about what each school (especially private schools) is doing now and what will happen to classes and examinations in the future, based on examples from the field.

 

Main contents,

 

1) Feasibility of September enrollment
(2) Is it safe to fully reopen the school? What will happen to classes after this?
(iii) Is it safe to take the exam?
4) How will we catch up on the lessons we have been teaching?

 

It was.

 

The full reopening of schools will be difficult given the possibility of another outbreak of the disease.But it is already June.

 

In order to catch up during the next semester, students will have to cram considerably: 7 hours a day, Saturday classes, and half the summer vacation.

 

That said, it is not the case that the examinations will not include the units that have not been completed during this period, because the units are intertwined with each other.

 

For example, the past participle, a key grammar in English from the third semester of junior high school to the first half of the first semester, is involved in the passive voice, the present perfect, and adjectival usage of participles, without which English composition problems would be nearly impossible.

 

In mathematics, the first semester is filled with super-important basics.

 

In the polynomial unit, students learn expansion and factorization of expressions, which leads to quadratic equations and quadratic functions, which are studied at the beginning of high school.

 

So what happens to these parts of the exam, if it were to be taken? Perhaps,, what happens to the exam itself?

 

Simultaneous tests are 3 honey. University entrance examinations, in particular, are taken by thousands of examinees at a time. The Center Test (new name: Common Test) is the most important.

 

meanwhileSchools that have already declared online examinationsThere are also

 

But how do you do admissions online? Some people may wonder.

 

Yes, online is not a test, is it? The answer is,

 

We assume that it is probably a method that is not a test with answers (details not yet announced).

 

In other words, it may be an entrance exam that measures thinking ability, an entrance exam that emphasizes character in the form of essays, or an entrance exam that evaluates past activity history.

 

This can be done online.

 

Overall, I can say,Private schools that have been actively engaged in AL (active learning), PBL (problem-based learning), and inquiry-based learning are the ones that are operating as usual in this situation.It is.

 

These schools were quick to move to online classes, delivering lessons as youtube videos, interactive classes via zoom (some teachers don't even know about zoom) google meets, and the differences were widely separated.

 

You should be aware of the situation that humanity will have to fight against corona infections, the second and third waves, and yet another virus in the future (although there have been such warnings in the past).

 

In this light, education in the future will beIt is expected to come down to the use of online and offline.

 

Currently, Oxford University has decided to deliver classes online until next September.

 

Japanese universities have also announced online information sessions.

 

Also, in this situation, the most important thing to think about is what kind of education to offer online."Question."It is.

 

In the past, Japan has tried to change what people learn, how they learn, and the abilities they gain from learning through the current educational reforms. However, this has not been possible.

 

There has been a lot of talk about using ICT (information and communication technology), AL style, PBL, and inquiry-based learning,

 

The school scene did not change this time or even this time (or for that matter, in the last educational reform).

 

But for once, there is no other way to deliver the lessons. The school was forced to move forward with reforms.

 

Furthermore, the premise of the reformDeveloping the ability to cope in uncertain times."That said, we have entered an age of uncertainty that is even more uncertain than AI, population decline, and internationalization.

 

A major global economic recession will occur in the future.

 

Robotization and AI = No need for humans as work factors → manifestation of abilities that only humans can do will become clear.

 

When considering the development of abilities that only human beings can do, which is necessary in these times, education has been forced into a situation where it must change in earnest.

 

Yes, we have been driven into a corner.

 

As evidence of this, Waseda-Keio has announced that it will increase the number of students who take the AO entrance examination, which is the norm in Europe and the U.S., instead of taking the exam based on a point-scoring competition.

 

The University of California in the United States (famous for UCLA UC Berkeley, etc.) is,We are considering not requiring the SAT scores that were previously required for college admission.

 

As for why, please read this article.

 

The SAT (college entrance aptitude test) is a "stature" test that widens the gap:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/byline/takeuchikan/20191105-00148900/

 

School is a place that prepares students to enter society.

 

Education is a place to give them the ability to do well in society.

 

When you think about it, society, which is the premise of education, has now changed drastically.

 

Work-at-home jobs are sure to increase in the future. In the not-too-distant future, working from home will become the norm.

 

And if so, what about education? Right now, educational institutions have been the pillars of the recent educational reforms.What will I be able to do, what will I learn, and how will I learn it?"In the past, we have been forced to evolve in the following areas.

 

As a meander, schools that cannot make this evolution will not survive in the future.

 

No matter how many subsidies are distributed to schools in Japan, ・・・・・.
