We conducted the first national survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of the computing education at non-IT departments and faculties whose major subject is not computing. The survey covers various aspects of computing education including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. We collected 994 answers through the survey. At least 87,000 non-ICT students are taking computing education in Japan. Although computing education is carried out at every major academic discipline, teaching effort greatly differs depending on the academic discipline. We also find shortage of teaching staff for computing education. The analysis result will be an essential input to develop reasonable curriculum guidelines and accreditation criteria to improve computing education at non-IT departments.

We conducted the first national survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of the computing education to obtain high school teacher’s license on IT. The survey covers various aspects of computing education including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. We collected 338 answers through the survey which cover 65% of the departments having teacher’s license course on IT. Many of the responded departments also provide computing education majored in computing discipline. Although 5,006 students are enrolled in the computing education for the license, only 369 students obtain the license since very few are employed at a high school. Most of the teacher’s license holders on computing subject also obtain high school teacher’s license of other subject in order to get a job as a high school teacher.

We conducted the first national survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of the computing education at a department or a course majored in the computing discipline. The survey covers various aspects including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. Thus the survey result is expected to be a good fundamental to develop realistic computing curricula and accreditation criteria in Japan. The estimated number of computing departments and students in Japan is about 300 and 28,000 respectively. 50% of the students belong to engineering faculties. Although 25% of the students are learning Computer Science, 50% of the students are learning computing domains other than those defined in CC2005. The information processing society of Japan (IPSJ) and the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT) utilize the survey result to develop a new computing curriculum standard J17 and national policy of computing education respectively.

We conducted the first nationwide survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of informatics in general education for all students at a university or a faculty. The survey covers various aspects including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. 739 answers are collected from 530 universities in response to the survey. The answers cover 70.5% of the Japanese universities, and approximately 81.6% of the 649 universities that responded to the survey. The Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT) will utilize the survey result to develop a new computing curriculum standard J17 and national policy of computing education respectively.

The article is devoted to the formation of historical education at Kharkiv Сlassic University especially such academic discipline as «Archeology». The author aims to discover the terminology of educational courses and the development of its concept for tracing the process of beginning teaching the elements of archeology and its formation as a separate discipline in the educational courses of the University. It is mentioned that from the first half of the ХІХ century the term «Archeology» was only appeared in scientific turnover and rarely appeared in the names of an educational courses. The term «antiquity» was used for the academic disciplines which were connected with the distant past. In this period the courses with the similar names had literary-philological and historical character and nearly connected with the archeology in its modern meaning. From the second half of the ХІХ century the situation changed. The question about the development of archeology was sharply rose in the Russian Empire, Archeological Congresses were conducted. Systematic archaeological excavations began, so qualified specialists were needed. But there were not such separate academic discipline as «Archeology» because of the lack of the specialists and teaching staff. The basis for archeology knowledge was the teaching of the disciplines of philological profile. Particular attention to the ancient languages oriented students to the acquisition of ancient social and cultural values. In the second half of the ХІХ century, there were qualitative changes in the archeological science itself. The first generalizations appear, but teaching has fallen short of scientific achievements. The author points that professor M. Aristov (1834–1882) was the first who taught the courses which had archeological specialization, but there were no term «archeology» in its name.

If we are to bring about lasting changes around the use of technology in teaching and learning in colleges and universities, we need to understand the practices that staff undertake and the challenges they face. Effective and sustained change comes from a place of working in service to pedagogies, and practices that support and surround learning and teaching. In order to better understand these issues Jisc commissioned research to gain more understanding about practice around learning and teaching and gaining insights beyond the technology-led. This research captures the voices and experiences of people who are and have been teaching in higher and further education, drawing on senior and junior teaching scholars, across a broad range of academic discipline. The themes that emerged from this research and questions that arise come from more than 22 hours of interviews and several workshops providing insights about both practices and priorities for teaching staff. We report our research results here as an act of amplifying and advocating rather than discovery; we are under no illusions that these results have never been said before. The intent is to inform and support, to boost the voices that are coming through in our research and not pretend that we have discovered this for the first time. We also wanted, in conducting this project, to move away from starting with digital, and to ground discussions in the behaviours of people who were teaching, whether their practices had anything to do with digital or not.
