Long-Term Implementation of a Personalized Learning Support System in Fisheries High Schools and Evaluation of Educational Effectiveness

Currently, the “Small Boat Lecture Class” at fisheries high schools faces challenges with varying individual student progress within the curriculum. To address these issues, we designed a personalized learning support system (Referred to as “the system”) utilizing video lectures based on instructional design theory. The effectiveness of the system was evaluated by comparing it with traditional lecture-based teaching. The system integrated Microsoft Teams and video lectures and was implemented through a learning management system. The educational effectiveness of the proposed system was verified throughout the annual curriculum by conducting knowledge assessment tests confirmed. It was shown that self-paced learning improved student motivation and outcomes. Additionally, challenges such as sample size, the development workload of instructional materials, and the need for tailored approaches to students with slower comprehension were identified.
