Title
The Effects of the Flipped Classroom and Online Education
Abstract
反転授業（flipped classroom）とは，近年注目を集めているアクティブラーニングの手法の一種であり，学生は授業時間中に講義を受け，授業後に各自で復習をして講義内容の理解を深めるという従来の授業方法を「反転」させたものである．すなわち，反転授業では，学生は授業前に講義動画を視聴しておき，授業中には学生どうしで話し合いながら講義内容の理解を深める課題に取り組む．この研究では，ランダム化比較試験の実施が可能な授業フォーマットを利用して，経済学入門の授業において反転授業が大学学部生の学習成果におよぼす効果を推定した．さらに，コロナ禍によって大学授業がオンライン化されたことから，自然実験としてオンライン授業の効果も検討した．おもな結果は次のとおりである．(1)対面形式での反転授業は学習成果にマイナスの効果を持つが，オンライン形式での反転授業は学習成果にプラスの効果を持つ．(2)反転授業もオンライン授業も学習努力に有意な効果を持つが，それらが最終的に学習成果に反映されることはほとんどない．したがって，これらの授業形式が学習成果におよぼす効果は，授業時間外の予習復習を媒介したものではなく，授業時間中に生じているものだと考えられる．

Topic
“日本と九州の農業・食料産業の活性化に向けて”
Abstract
日本の農業はFTAやEPAといった経済のグローバル化の中で国際化対応を迫られている。一方で、ウクライナ危機に見られるような有事の際の食料の安全保障への国民の関心が高まっている。
日本の農業問題は、農地、コメ、農協の3つの問題に集約されるが、本報告では、これらを中心に日本農業の現状と問題点を洗い出し、これまでの農業政策の対応について議論する。また、安倍政権下で行われた農協改革など一連の農業改革を点検し、新たな政策として打ち出された有機農業の拡大を柱とする「みどりの食料システム戦略」の是非を検討する。
今日の農業は原料提供産業にとどまることなく、食料システムに組み込んで最終消費者との結びつきを深める必要がある。そのような観点から、これからの日本および九州の農業がより発展するために目指すべき方向性を提示する。
