My study is how to apply Individual Psychology into the field of education and clinical setting. I also study the effectiveness of Individual psychology as a movement of human welfare.

Teaching learning strategies that allow students to learn inquiringly in cooperation with their peers are attracting attention, as a learning activity that fosters 21st century academic ability, such as comprehensive inquiry time and inquiry activities for each subject that are included in the Course of Study and implemented at each school. In addition, the GIGA School Concept requires the use of ICT in such learning activities.
I am conducting research on effective teaching and learning strategies based on practical examples of inquiry-based learning, which is an educational activity required in such an era. In particular, practical training is emphasized in the Department of Informatics, and the development of learning materials and the accumulation of teaching plans are awaited so that students can acquire “information theory”, “information ethics”, “programming thinking ability”, and “practical ability to utilize information” by learning independently using ICT. Takahashi Laboratory has developed such teaching materials, analyzed practical cases, and conducted research on methods to measure the qualities and abilities of students, which is the basis for verifying their effectiveness.

〇　Researches on science classes aimed at fostering the qualities and abilities required for children to create society of the future, to face society and the world, to engage with each other, to open up their own lives, and to teachers I am doing research on training.
〇　I　am conducting research on development and evaluation of science class lessons by active learning.
〇　I am developing and researching collaborative learning support system that utilizes software and each tablet computer　that supports collaborative learning．.

The theme of this office is to research the roles of hired foreign teachers (Oyatoi Kyoshi) played in the development of Modern Japan. The rapidity of Japan’s development espacially in the Meiji Period amazed the world. One of its main factors was the focus on human resources training. Encouraging new industry, Japanese government tried by themselves to take advantage of the knowledge and skills introduced from advanced countries. They considered it important to carry out advanced education with the help of experts from those nations. How did the foreign experts try to act toward the expections?

Henry Dyer(1848-1918), pioneer of engineering education in Japan. Born in Scotland, Principal of the Inperial College of Engineering(Kobu Dai Gakko) 1873-1882. Studied the curriculum on engineering in various countries, and tried to practice education in the college.

The current society has been the era of the information-oriented society more and more. In addition, humankind is being confronted with a lot of serious issues, especially environmental problems. That’s why they have to try to solve them with the data processing and make decisions. In this sense, it is statistics education that is most important area in mathematics education in order for students to acquire literacy on the data processing and decision-making.
Hence, I focused on the development of statistics education. The objective of my research is to transform from calculus-centered mathematics education curriculum into statistics-centered one. The research methods for achieving this are to analyze and develop the curriculum. About the former, I am comparing Japan with New Zealand because Japan has to cope with globalization and internationalization from now such as New Zealand which has already had much experience on them. About the latter, I selected teaching unit (substantial learning environment) as the theoretical framework which shuttles and integrates between scholarly knowledge and craft knowledge (see Wittmann(2001)’s Figure).

I would like to make further efforts to explore more effective and useful lessons, such as the lesson style required for technical education and the discovery of new issues. In addition, as a study of manufacturing education, we will realize the joy of manufacturing, increase the motivation and enthusiasm of students and students for independent learning, and lead to more efforts, creativity, concentration and practice. I would like to explore educational methods that nurture power and have a great educational effect.
