Abstract
Although the term schoolscapes often alludes to physical spaces, contemporary schoolscapes not
only exist physically but also virtually, requiring students to navigate through different spatialities and temporalities. In this
study, we interviewed six Information and Software Engineering university students to explore how tempo and presence converge with
learning experiences within physical and virtual schoolscapes. Using thematic analysis, two themes were identified: I) synchronous
learning in designated learning spaces, and II) asynchronous learning in non-designated learning spaces. Presence was the
principal concept, which was divided into social presence, co-presence, cognitive presence, emotional presence, teaching presence,
and place presence, and captured students’ learning experiences across schoolscapes. Results showed that the tempo of Information
and Software Engineering university students’ learning was based on how each category of presence and learning mode
(synchronous/asynchronous) related to their learning needs or preferences.

要旨
本研究は、物理的空間と仮想空間におけるスクールスケープ「schoolscape」の特徴と学習経験を明らかにすることが目的である。言語景観の中でスクールスケープとは主に教育環境の物理的空間を示すが、現代におけるスクールスケープには物理的空間だけではなく、仮想空間も含まれているため、教育環境の中で学生は異なる空間性や時間性を使い分ける必要がある。そこで、テンポ「tempo」や存在感「presence」が学習経験と物理的且つ仮想的スクールスケープに於いて、どのように融合するかを調査するために、本大学の情報・ソフトウェア工学部に所属する6名の大学生にインタビューを行った。主題分析の結果、2つのテーマが抽出された:I)指定学習空間に於ける同期型ラーニング、II)未定学習空間に於ける非同期型ラーニング。存在感「presence」とは主要な概念であり、社会的存在感「social
presence」、共存在感「co-presence」、知的存在感「cognitive presence」、情緒的存在感「emotional presence」、教授的存在感「teaching presence」や居場所感「place
presence」と各分類された。また存在感はスクールスケープにおける学生の学習経験を捉えた。本研究の知見は、本大学情報・ソフトウェア工学部の大学生の学習テンポが、各分類の存在感と学習モード(同期型・非同期型)のあり方が学習ニーズや学習傾向に関連していると基づくことである。
