Paper Abstract:
|
We propose developing a method to set key educational skills which students need to achieve for each class using a student self-assessment questionnaire in analytical approach. It is difficult to set key academic skills for class since there are little systematic methods to set them. The questionnaire survey with 25 educational skills was conducted to ICT classes in our university using a computer-assisted web-interviewing (CAWI) technique. The questionnaire results are analyzed using self-organizing maps (SOMs). A SOM is used to visualize the similarity relations between educational skills based on student's consciousness. We show that 25 skills were classified into several skill groups of introduction, fundamentals, and advanced courses, respectively. |
