This study proposes a method for improving lesson revision using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), which is a structured technique for organized group decision-making. As a fundamental pedagogical principle of the proposed lesson improvement approach, we utilized collaborative action research theory, which involves applied action research, and focused on group-based lesson improvement. Furthermore, this study demonstrates a practical method that enables the incorporation of diverse assessment opinions from itinerant supervisors of educational boards to flow into a common conclusion to improve the lesson. We simulated a discussion case that involves informational avoidance actions. The consistency index of AHP could promote group decisions by presenting scores of consistency value across decision scenes. Furthermore, we present the effect of this method, in which a group produced a written document to transfer the record of the discussion process. This study is the first to illustrate the improvement of lesson design through collaboration among individuals with varied areas of expertise.

In our previous study, we proposed socialized creation competency as an advanced media information literacy The competency involves four pillars: socialized creation, collaborative creativity, a critical eye and building affordance The characterisation of this competency consists of all the component processes that make up social capital in ICT society In this study, we extracted a concrete example to explain the socialised creation and to promote the sustainable development of society The case we investigated was one in which civic IT engineers collaborated to develop program codes for a COVID-19 website We collected and analysed related documents and communication records on Twitter The results provided a deeper understanding of the importance of collaboration among diverse citizens, IT engineers, corporate workers and members of public sectors Those players worked using a new style of production regarding Civic Tech and GovTech Their activities blurred the borders of various organisations Online services, GitHub, and other SNS were used for both creation and opinion exchanges, and emerging heterarchical communication was interrelated The creators accepted the engagement of any citizen to vet opinions for purposes of improving the website Records demonstrated the substantial potential for the needs of advanced MIL competency to understand civil society and collaborative creation by the public sector and citizens © 2021 by the authors
