先週のフィールドスタディを経て、班によっては２学期初めてのグループ活動となった今日のATⅠ（２年）です。

　今日の活動ではまず、現時点での研究の深まりや、先行研究の調査がどれだけ進んでいるか、班で協働できているか等、12項目からなる自己評価を行いました。現段階で「数値データの処理」や「地域への提案」などを達成している班はもちろんほぼいないのですが、今後やるべきことを再確認する意味でも、今回の自己評価が指針となってくれることと思います。

　さて、実は研究計画書が来週締切となっています。先行研究調べが夏期休暇中の課題となっていたのですが、取組状況はいかがでしょうか？　各自調べてきたことをグループで共有し、計画書にしっかり盛り込むことができるよう、限られた時間ではありますが各班知恵を出し合って頑張ってください！

　　　At the beginning, students made a self-assessment, answering twelve questions to see how far they had come in their study.  In the assessment, they were asked questions such as “Have you been responsible for working together in a group?” or “Have you learned from previous research and considered it in your own study?”  As of today, of course, it is almost impossible for most of the students to achieve “collecting numeric data to support the study” or “suggesting something useful in the community.” However, those are some of the goals they need to achieve in the end, and the assessment today helps them to check what they need to consider in proceeding their research.  

　　　By the way, the research plans are due next week.  It is never easy to share and discuss enough in the limited time, compared to what we had last year (100 minutes every week), but we can’t do anything but try our best.  We are sure you can make it!  We are looking forward to seeing your research plans full of brilliant ideas make this world a better place!
