Children's learning with data-What can parents do as learning at school and home changes? ~

The use of tablets and other terminals has greatly changed learning

One of the factors behind changes in school classes is the widespread use of ICT in education. In 2019, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology launched the "GIGA School Concept" to realize learning that suits each child by using terminals such as personal computers and tablets for each child and student nationwide.

Initially, we planned to develop terminals and high-speed, high-capacity communication networks in each school over about five years, but due to the impact of the corona crisis, the plan was pushed forward significantly. In 2010, “one terminal per person” was largely realized.

By using terminals connected to the Internet in class, children's investigative learning will be more fulfilling, and they will be able to easily summarize what they have investigated.
You can also share your research and thoughts with other children through the terminal, and deepen your own thinking. In other words, each person's terminal is a very important tool in realizing the new course of study, which emphasizes the development of thinking, judgment, expression, and the ability to collaborate.
And it is expected that every child will be able to learn better in the same way, without being influenced by the educational environment of the school or the economic power of the family, by having each child use a terminal. increase.
