4. survey results

1. Sohyo (General Council of Trade Unions of Japan)
   Regarding “participation satisfaction” in the faculty survey, 80% of respondents reported being satisfied with online classes, while 100% reported being satisfied with on-site classes and classes taught by faculty members.
   According to the student survey, 97% of students reported being satisfied with the online lessons, 96% with the outreach lessons, and 100% with the lessons taught by teachers. After the program, students shared positive feedback such as “It was fun” and “I’d like to see more performances.”
   In the online class, there was one school where students were unable to use their tablets due to equipment trouble on the day of the class, and another school where more than three classes participated had trouble with inaudible sound. We would like to consider how to respond to any problems that may occur.
2. About Content
   In the teacher survey, satisfaction with the “content (introductory videos, VR videos, and viewing videos)” was reported as 84% or higher for online classes, and 100% for on-site classes and classes taught by teachers.
   Regarding the children’s satisfaction with the “content” (introductory videos, VR footage), 96% or more reported being satisfied with online classes, 85% or more with on-site classes, and 98% with classes taught by teachers.
   Both the outreach classes and the classes taught by teachers used “content (replicas).” Teacher satisfaction with the replicas was 100% in both types of classes. Among the students, 93% reported being satisfied with the outreach classes, while 94% reported being satisfied with the classes taught by teachers.
   The museum's VR videos allowed visitors to view the museum and the artworks from various angles, and some commented that they were able to learn from the videos only possible through online viewing. The "Viewing Support Video" was viewed prior to the interactive viewing of the artworks, enabling students to learn how to view the artworks, and some said that they would like to use the video as a reference for their viewing classes.
3. Museum Response
   Regarding the museum’s response, a survey of teachers revealed that 92% were satisfied with online classes, while 100% were satisfied with on-site classes and classes taught by museum staff.
   Many participants commented that they felt "at ease" going into the class because of the detailed pre-conference meetings.
