Abstract
The eventual goal of the study in this paper is to find inspiring tips for effective teaching by analyzing lecture data. As a case study, we take a course in a junior college and investigate the relations between effort and achievement of the students. We take two types of data for measuring effort of students; attendance and homework. The former one is for representing the students’ “superficial” efforts and the latter for representing the students’ “intentional” efforts. We take the term-end examination score for measuring the student’s achievement. In this paper, we first try to find what kind of efforts the students put in terms of effort by comparing the attendance and the homework data. Then we investigate the relations between the efforts and achievement and try to find if the efforts of students really give good amount of influence to their achievements. As a result of the analysis we have found even with some amount of efforts, students learn just a little bit in achievement in terms of practically applicable skills. We need further investigation in order to give more clear influencing factor in effort-achievement analysis of lecture data.
