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

Professor (Sociology of 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

Professor (Division of Curriculum Development)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Professor (Educational Physiology)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The data analysis of biomedical and health-related information is my specialty. In a research side, focusing mainly on health-related data in daily settings, I investigate methods for the data collection, data analysis, interpretation of the results, and the use of information obtained for health risk evaluation and disease prevention. In addition to the development of new methodology for signal processing, modelling, and statistical analysis, of the standard physiological measurements, recently I also focus on a broader health-related data including behavioral and social ones. In an education side, I aim at teaching students with diverse interests and concerns so that\u00a0they acquire specialized and integrated analytic skills required in the era of information and communication technology.<\/p>\n

Professor (Historical and Comparative Higher Education, Division of University Management and Policy Studies)<\/strong><\/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

Associate Professor
\nCenter for Advanced School Education and Evidence-based Research
\nCenter for Research and Development of Higher Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Associate Professor (Educational Anthropology)<\/strong><\/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
