Abstract

Moving from secondary to tertiary education, students in Japan often need extra support to become accustomed to the more autonomous learning environment of university. In order to document the influence university teachers may have on this process, I investigated how teachers support or thwart students’ autonomy, and the effects of these practices on attendance and achievement. 250 students from 4 universities completed surveys on their instructors’ teaching styles. Students who perceived more support from their teachers showed higher attendance and achievement, while students who perceived more intrusive teaching had lower attendance and course grades. Implications for teaching at the university level are discussed. 中等教育から高等教育へ移る中で、学生は、より自律した学習環境に慣れる為のサポートがしばしば必要になる。この論文では、大学教員の学生に対する自律の支援または自律へのお節介な介入が出席率や学習達成度に及ぼす影響を検討するため、四校の大学から250名の学生を調査し、教員による自律への支援・介入の授業スタイルについてアンケートを実施した。アンケートの結果、自律支援が学生の出席率と学習達成度を高める一方、自律への介入を感じた学生は出席率と学習達成度が低くなったことがわかった。この調査結果がもたらす高等教育現場への影響を論じる。
