高等学校家庭科における「家族」の授業設計 : 映画「家族ゲーム」の食事場面を教材にして

According to the forthcoming course of study in Japan,home economics education class attaches greater importance on matters surrounding relationships within a family. Behind this lies issues related to the family system in the modern Japanese society,such as family breakdown or the isolation of members within a family. However,many teachers feel that such"family"issues are difficult subjects to be taught in classrooms. In this study,I sought for possible lesson plans to teach what a family is through the dining scenes from movies,and employed "The Family Game" as lesson material. I hope these lesson plans will lead to the effective study of"family"and related issues in our modern societ

Categorization and Visualization of Issue Tickets to Support Understanding of Implemented Features in Software Development Projects

Background: In most software projects, new members must comprehend the features already implemented since they are usually assigned during the project period. They often read software documents (e.g., flowcharts and data models), but such documents tend not to be updated after they are created. Herein we focus on tickets issued because they are created as a project evolves and include the latest information of the implemented features. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to clarify the way of helping new members understand the implemented features of a project by using tickets. Methodology: We propose a novel method to categorize tickets by clustering and visualizing the characteristics of each category via heatmapping and principal component analysis (PCA). Our method estimates the number of categories and categorizes issue tickets (tickets) automatically. Moreover, it has two visualizations. Ticket lifetime visualization shows the time series change to review tickets quickly, while ticket feature visualization shows the relationships among ticket categories and keywords of ticket categories using heatmapping and PCA. Results: To evaluate the effectiveness of our method, we implemented a case study. Specifically, we applied our method to an industrial software development project and interviewed the project members and external experts. Furthermore, we conducted an experiment to clarify the effectiveness of our method compared with a non-tool-assist method by letting subjects comprehend the target project, which is the same as that of the case study. These studies confirm our method supports experts’ and subjects’ comprehension of the project and its features by examining the ticket category lifetimes and keywords. Implication: Newcomers during project onboarding can utilize tickets to comprehend implemented features effectively if the tickets are appropriately structured and visualized. Conclusions: The original contribution of this paper is the proposal of the project feature comprehension method by visualizing the multi-dimensional nature of requirements in an organized and structured way based on available tickets and the result of its application to the industrial project

生活を総合的に捉える家庭科教育における「高齢者の生活と福祉」学習内容のあり方 (2) : 高等学校における「介護保険制度」の授業実践およびその検討

本誌前号で報告した家庭科教育における「高齢者の生活と福祉」学習内容のあり方をもとに、「介護保険制度と高齢者のQOLの向上」という題材を設定して、高等学校「家庭基礎」で2時間の授業を実践した。この授業の目標は、介護保険制度の利用によって高齢者の生活がどのように改善されるかを理解すること、さらに高齢者がより「自分らしい生き方」すなわちQOLの向上を実現することの大切さに気づき、高齢者を尊重する態度の育成に結びつけることにある。本報告では、授業実践の概要と実践結果の課題について述べた

生活を総合的に捉える家庭科教育における「高齢者の生活と福祉」学習内容のあり方 : 「家庭基礎」と「現代社会」における介護保険制度学習の比較をとおして

わが国における急速な高齢化を背景に、高等学校の各教科においても高齢者関連の学習が実施されている。本稿では、家庭科における「高齢者の生活と福祉」学習内容のうち、介護保険制度に関する学習を題材として取り上げ、高齢者の生活を総合的に捉える視点に立った家庭科の学習目標及び内容の展開が同じ学習題材を含む公民科におけるそれとどのように異なるのかを比較考察した。その上で家庭科における高齢者の生活を総合的に捉えた視点からの介護保険制度に関する学習指導案を作成した
