<\/a><\/p>\nProfessor<\/strong><\/p>\n Division of Social Sciences in Education<\/strong><\/p>\n My study focuses on relations between education, work and family. Since early 1990s, Japanese society has witnessed a conspicuous growth of discrepancies in relations between these three social systems, which include dysfunctions of \u2018transition from school to work\u2019, escalation of pressures on responsibilities of parents to educate their children, widening inequality in educational opportunities, and expansion of poverty among families with children. I explore causes and solutions to these problems, especially necessary reforms of education and new roles of the government and civil movements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Professor<\/strong><\/p>\n Division of Social Sciences in Education<\/strong><\/p>\n I am interested in the impact of globalization on families, schools, and children’s identity and ability formation. I have conducted ethnographic research on Japanese families in the U.S. and foreign families in Japan, focusing on internationally mobile children. I look at the intersections of gender, ethnicity, class, and academic achievement in school routines and family educational strategies. I am also conducting international comparisons of multicultural education and citizenship education through surveys of schools in Japan and the U.S. I am currently researching how education and society can be inclusive of minorities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Professor<\/strong> I have been conducting researches on education policy in developing countries, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. In recent years, I have been mainly focusing on Cambodia and currently\u00a0conducting several research projects, including a student tracer study in basic education, a teacher training study, and a study on the development of higher education. I also conduct researches on the internationalization of higher education in Asian countries. Through these researchers, I have been exploring roles of education for creating more democratic society and examining how education needs to be considered as public good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Professor<\/b><\/p>\n Division of University Management and Policy Studies<\/b><\/p>\n My research interest lies in historical and comparative study of higher education, particularly, American higher education. Although American higher education might be the model for higher education reform in other countries, I am interested in it because American colleges and universities are dynamic and have developed with great diversity. Their histories include many attractive themes for considering the question, “What are colleges and universities?” My research interest extends to diverse areas of higher education: undergraduate curriculum, academic governance, academic professions, and graduate education. I approach these areas with historical and comparative perspectives, which can help us broaden our thinking of higher education. I am looking forward to working with many students who believe colleges and universities are important to our society and culture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Associate Professor<\/b><\/p>\n Center for Advanced School Education and Evidence-based Research My research interests focus on creativity, art education, and learning activities. I explore the process of creative learning through a wide range of research approaches, including the development of psychometric methods, the examination of developmental processes through cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys in school settings, the evaluation of educational practices and methods inside and outside schools, and the comparison of educational data across diverse cultures. I aim to apply these findings to the improvement of educational practices. Currently, I am conducting research to promote evidence-based educational improvement and to support the realization of each learner\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Associate Professor<\/b><\/p>\n Division of History and Philosophy of Education<\/b><\/p>\n My current research interests lie in the educational implications of political and moral philosophy. More specifically, my research explores the possibilities and limits of citizenship and moral education in a liberal, democratic, and plural society. From this educational perspective, I approach what John Rawls calls the problem of political liberalism: How is it possible that there may exist over time a stable and just society of free and equal citizens profoundly divided by reasonable though incompatible religious, philosophical, and moral doctrines?<\/p>\n Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Associate Professor<\/b><\/p>\n Division of Educational Psychology<\/b><\/p>\n My general interests are developing and applying statistical methods for behavioral science. Methodologically, my current lines of research include (a) latent growth curve modeling for evaluating within-person changes and its individual differences, (b) developing and investigating the unified framework for longitudinal models to examine reciprocal relations between longitudinally observed variables, and (c) within-person variability score-based causal inference for joint effects of time-varying treatments. In addition, I am collaborating with substantive researchers on a number of topics relating to educational, psychological and medical research.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nDeputy Director<\/h4>\n
