In 2009, a First-Year-Experience (FYE) course of Mie University was introduced as an endeavor to transform studentsinto active learners by having them acquire the university's educational goals. Mie University established this program toallow the students acquire generic skills broadly categorized into four abilities: to appreciate (kanjiru), to analyze (kangaeru),to communicate, and to integrate those skills in various practical situations (ikiru).The course consisted of 16 sessions. The first five sessions emphasized communication practices to enable thestudents to brush up their discussion skills. In the next seven workshops, the students were assigned a group project tocomplete. The last four sessions included presentation, evaluation of the projects, and reflection of their achievements.The student's responses were measured by a scholastic achievement evaluation, which was administered in September.To clarify the effect of the FYE course, we compared the evaluation of students enrolled in 2008 with 2009. ANOVA revealedsignificant differences in the evaluations. Their expectancy to acquire the four abilities was not as low as those who did nottake this course. In addition, the majority of the students felt that their communication and practical skills had improved.Among all freshman in 2009, the evaluations for students who took the FYE course showed a similar trend. This course wasevaluated as successful in transforming the students into active learners.
