Tecnologias de ensino
O conhecimento, estudo e uso de tecnologias de ensino a distância é
uma obrigação da universidade de qualidade. Em busca de selar
parcerias na área, a UNESP recebeu a visita, em março último, do
responsável pela área de Relações Internacionais do National Institute
of Multimedia Education (Nime), Toshio Kobayashi. O docente japonês
visitou a Reitoria e os câmpus de Guaratinguetá e Marília da
Universidade. Em maio, serão dados os próximos passos rumo à
formalização de um convênio de cooperação mútua, com a visita dos
professores Tsumeo Yanda e Kimio Kondo, para a organização da IV
Conferência Internacional sobre Informação, Cognição, Tecnologia e
Aprendizagem (InCógniTA), em agosto deste ano, no Brasil, e, no ano
seguinte, no Japão. “Queremos melhorar nossa tecnologia no ensino de
graduação da UNESP e na promoção de projetos conjuntos sobre o
tema ‘Novas Tecnologias”, diz o responsável pelo grupo de pesquisa da

ONLINE EDUCA '05 / E-learning in Azië:
welvaartsverschillen zorgen voor grote digitale kloof
Datum: 01/12/2005 Auteur: Tekst: Niels Bakker, Beeld: Steven Schoppert (Redactie EduSite)
(afb. groepsfoto)
Bij het eerste Asian Pacific Forum, dat tijdens de elfde editie
van Online Educa Berlijn gehouden werd, waren de grote spelers
er bijna allemaal: India, Korea, Japan, Maleisië, zelfs het dwergstaatje Singapore. Maar
het belangrijkste land in de regio, met de snelst groeiende economie ter wereld, ontbrak.
"Ik had graag gewild dat China er vandaag bij was geweest, want een kwart van de
wereldbevolking moet hier eigenlijk toch vertegenwoordigd zijn", zei spreker Joseph
Chang van de Singaporeze Nanyang Technological University (NTU) na afloop van de
mini-conferentie van een dag.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Globalisering
Een ander verschil tussen landen in de Aziatische regio is de mate waarin ze meegaan met de
globalisering van de wereld. Volgens Chang is Japan bijvoorbeeld een erg traditionele
samenleving. "De studenten spreken er vrijwel geen Engels, er is weinig e-commerce en
iedereen betaalt nog met cash." Singapore, waar Engels de taal is waarin onderwijs gegeven
wordt, staat in zijn ogen daarentegen open voor de buitenwereld.(
)
Toshio Kobayashi, verbonden aan het Japanse Nationale Institute of Multimedia Education
(NIME), een organisatie die het gebruik van ict in het onderwijs en onderzoek ondersteunt,
denkt dat het koloniale verleden van landen als Singapore in dit opzicht een voordeel is. "Zij
kunnen daardoor gemakkelijk dingen op een westerse manier doen." Hij onderschrijft dat Japan
een gesloten, hiërarchisch gestructureerde samenleving is, met grote culturele barrieres.(
)
Kobayashi meent dat de Japanse taal ook een van die barrières is voor internationale
samenwerking. "Ondanks dat we een technologiegigant zijn, lopen we in vergelijking met de
andere Aziatische landen achter(
) op het gebied van e-learning." Toch maken buitenlandse
bedrijven in Japan weinig kans. In plaats van zich open te stellen voor invloeden van buitenaf, wil
Japan zelf de (e-learning)wereld veroveren(
), zoals eerder de technologiemarkt veroverd
werd door concerns als Sony.

ICT Use in Japanese Higher Education: R & D, Practice and Collaboration
Special Focus Session on Japan
Since Japan has been considered a technological giant and innovator for a long time, one
might expect it to be amongst the leading e-learning adopters. In reality, in higher
education institutions as well as in Japan’s economy, e-learning has lagged behind.
However, worldwide economic developments as well as growing competition from
overseas and the neighbouring Asian countries have led to a rethinking of national ICT
policies. ICT-based education, international collaboration, and virtual mobility of staff
and students are now high on the agenda. Japanese higher education institutions are
currently reviewing and revising ways in which they have to transform themselves in
order to meet the challenges of globalisation and economic regeneration. A special focus
session led by Professor Toshio Kobayashi from NIME provides insight into trends and
issues of e-learning in Japanese higher education.
Professor Toshio Kobayashi, Professor Kimio Kondo, and Associate Professor Akemi
Kawafuchi are working at the National Institute of Multimedia Education - NIME - in Japan.
NIME aims at promoting international collaboration as well as the use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) in education. Since its launch in 2004, NIME has carried
out a number of activities, including the development of a learning management system
(LMS) designed to respond to the various needs of different types of learning styles. The
organization has also undertaken the production of a pamphlet and hosting of a forum
about copyrights, field surveys of higher education using ICT in Japan and overseas, and
research into quality assurance-related measures.
NIME is cooperating with universities, colleges of technology, various organizations and
the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan.
The fourth member of the presentation team, Masako Sasaki, is an Associate Professor at
Akita University.
