The future challenges of Japanese Education in Society 5.0 and students’ understanding of Society 5.0
Abstract
As Japanese Language lecturer, we are currently facing new challenges on how to teach in face of Society 5.0. We are required to be able to think in a critical and innovative way in all aspects mainly in technology-based learning. Since March 2020 learning process in Indonesia has relied on internet due to COVID-19 Pandemic. Japanese language learning through virtual platform is actually a part of Industrial Revolution 5.0. Consequently, teachers/lecturers are required to
develop themselves and be familiar with IT. UNNES has applied technology-based learning via ELENA. UGM and UNESA have also implemented their own system in order to make learning process run smoothly even without face-to-face classes. However, there is still a problem in internet connection and human resources. Training might be needed since on-line learning will probably be more advanced as we are moving forward to society 5.0.
