学力偏差値の生みの親、桑田昭三氏死去　偏差値には賛否両論あったが、偏差値がない時代の学校の先生の進路指導は極めて困難だったと予想される。今でもあるのは良いと思っている。ある程度の尺度は必要なのだから。

 

 

一緒に授業を受ける仲間の存在・受け答えが刺激になり、あなたのやる気を引き上げるのも少人数制ならでは。
同じクラスの仲間が時にはライバルに。時には進路や勉強のことも相談し合える友達に。「頑張ろう」という気持ちがあなたを何倍にも強くします。
ＩＴＯ　ＡＣＡＤＥＭＹの少人数制授業なら辛く感じがちな受験勉強を前向きに乗り切っていけるはず。

ＩＴＯ　ＡＣＡＤＥＭＹ　では、少人数制授業は講師と生徒の間でしっかりコミュニケーションを取りながら進める授業です。生徒がどこでつまずいているのかしっかり認識できるため、時間内で効率的な学習ができるんです。

多くの卒業生が
「アットホームだった」と口をそろえて言ってくれています。

個別式指導塾○ 疑問があれば質問して解決できる
映像式予備校　× 多くのライバルがいる入試で、自分の実力・位置を掴むことが難しい映像式予備校

○ 自分の都合に合わせプロ講師の授業を閲覧
× 一方的な受け身の授業。周りの様子がわからずペースがつかみにくい

大教室式予備校○ 大人数で受験生の実感がある
× 一方的に聞いていることが多く受け身、
わかったつもりになりがち

わかったつもりにしない
「少人数制授業」【〝子″別指導】

聞くだけの授業になっていませんか？ より成績を上げられる授業を追及した結果 ＩＴＯ　ＡＣＡＤＥＭＹは少人数制授業，〝子″別指導にたどり着きました。

次の文の題意を１２０字以内の日本語で述べよ。

In German, the word ”sympathy” takes two forms–one form means sympathizing with another person’s sorrow ; the second form means sympathizing with another person’s joy.
To sympathize is to be in harmony with someone else’s feelings. But in English, we always use it to mean ”feeling sorry for,” and the opposite sense of the word seems to be wholly lost.
Yet it is much easier to sympathize with sorrow than to sympathize with joy. We always have a slight feeling of superiority when someone else suffers a tragedy, and it makes us feel good to feel bad about it.
But when someone we know is rejoicing, is radiant, is successful, how much sympathv do we then feel ? Are we able to harmonize our emotions with his, or do we rather feel a pang of bitterness and envy ?
I know a good many people who are eager to sympathize with disaster ; in fact, some of them spend a lifetime in looking for disaster to sympathize with.

1. According to T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, ”April is the cruelest month.” But I think that if Eliot had lived in Japan he might have revised that view. In this country the cruelest months are definitely February and March. It isn’t that the world of nature is cruel, because winter weather isn’t all that harsh in most parts of Japan. What makes February and March cruel for many people here is the entrance examination season, which adversely affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Japan every year.

   2. Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries lay games together they will learn to live together.

It’s worth remembering that new’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘better’ ! Everything these days seems to be computerized or digital. Washing machines, motorcars, sewing machines, stereo systems and television sets–all are now likely to have a microcomputer built in to control some function or other. Radios, clocks, watches, meters and gauges have a digital display instead of a traditional digital pointer. The magic words ‘computer’ and ‘digital’ have, of course, nearly the same meaning. A digital computer works by processing numbers and giving the numerical results. It’s all very exciting until you start to find out the hidden problems.

６０．ドーメイ(動・名)式速読術

 

次の英文の要旨を８０字以内の日本語でまとめよ。

One of the most remarkable communication systems found in the nonhuman world is that of the European honeybee. Imagine the evolutionary advantage for a honeybee if it is able to communicate the location of an especially rich food source to its hive-mates when it returns to the hive. The honeybee is, in fact able to do this.
Beekeepers had long suspected that bees communicated with each-other before the properties of this communication system Were scientifically established. For example, beekeepers noticed that if a single bee happens upon a particularly rich source of nectar or pollen, other bees from the hive will soon be found at the food source in significant numbers. It was also noted that large numbers of bees from a certain hive may all be gathering at the same type of food source, while large numbers of bees from an adjacent hive may be gathering food from an entirely different type of flower. This selective food gathering suggested a coordination of efforts on the part of the bees which could be the result of some method of communication.

学校のように、１つの教室にたくさん並べられた机に生徒さんが着席していて、ホワイトボードや黒板の前の先生が一斉指導をするのが「集団指導塾」です。

みなさんのお父様、お母様世代で塾といえば「集団指導塾」でした。最近の傾向として、集団指導の個別指導化、集団・個別のハイブリッド化などがあり、集団指導と個別指導の区別がつきにくい例もあります。

１３人位の少人数の生徒さんのグループに指導をする「集団指導」塾と、例えば４人位の生徒さんに指導をする「個別指導」塾【完全個別ではないことにご注意ください】とでは数字だけ見れば何が違うの？と思いませんか？

簡単に見分けるポイントは、例外もありますが、ホワイトボードや黒板を使った一斉指導を行う時間があるかどうかです。

医療系の予備校では完全1対1で講師が立って白板を使って質問受けではなく一方的に授業をするのが普通です。
