Iwaki City’s basic philosophy in its educational guidelines is to “nurturing people throughout the region and creating Iwaki, a city we can be proud of.” In light of changes in social conditions and the environment surrounding education, we are developing a variety of educational measures from the perspectives of “improving the quality of education” and “expanding learning opportunities.” In order to “promote school education that takes advantage of individuality,” which is one of the pillars of educational policy, we will develop the ability to utilize information while improving the school ICT environment and improving school teaching materials and tools that are compatible with the information society. It is being worked on. “Life is Tech” is being offered to junior high schools in the city as a necessary tool to promote programming education, which is the core of developing information utilization skills.
We have decided to introduce “Lessons” on a trial basis.
In addition, from now on, “Life is Tech”
It is expected that various practical examples will be created, such as the creation of a website through programming using “Lessons” and the creation of an original website for disseminating the results of exploratory learning activities.
Life is Tech will continue to provide this teaching material as a “new learning infrastructure for the GIGA School era” and promote information utilization education that fosters the ability to proactively respond to the progress of informationization in society and the ability to solve problems. We will provide support without regional disparities.
Comment from Juri Hattori, Superintendent of Education
Under the GIGA School concept, Iwaki City is aiming to improve the sophistication of its educational activities while implementing initiatives to promote educational DX.
On the other hand, in the junior high school technical subject “Information Technology”, the field of programming has been expanded with the revision of the curriculum guidelines, but the teaching requires specialized knowledge and the level of difficulty is high, making it difficult to practice in class. I felt it was the situation. Under these circumstances, “Life is Tech”
“Lessons” allows each student to use a device to conduct classes in accordance with the curriculum guidelines and to provide optimal learning for each individual.In order to accelerate city-wide efforts to promote educational DX, We have decided to introduce this system on a trial basis to junior high schools.
As a result, programming education can be learned without disparity between schools, and it can also be used in exploratory learning activities not only in technical subjects, but also in comprehensive study time, in a gradual manner from junior high school to high school. We are looking forward to the realization of learning with an eye on improvement.
