Abstract

This paper is a report on the design and assessment of the practicum for Information Skills from situated perspective in undergraduate school using blended learning. The practicum for Information Skills are implemented in undergraduate school, but most of the practicum doesn't consider student's major and characteristic of the faculty. However, the subject of "Information" was introduced in junior high schools as a mandatory subject from 2003 in Japan and also the situation of the penetration rate of the PC in homes is increasing. Considering these situations, we can say undergraduate school students have already acquired the means for PC. So we developed new design by adopting situated perspective in the practicum for Information Skills and implemented this design. We set "development CALL materials" as a learning subject in the practicum for Information skills to the students who major in foreign language. In this paper, we report the merits and problems of this design.
