Keywords: Science and Technology Education, Energy and Environmental Education, Effective Use of AI and ICT (Information Education), Teacher Education and Training
In this research laboratory, we develop and propose experiential teaching materials, tools, and curricula for use in school education and social education. Our research aims to improve school lessons by focusing on the application of cutting-edge science and technology in education and exploring teaching methods that reinforce foundational knowledge and skills. The areas of focus for this research laboratory include: (1) Research related to technology education, science education, and information education (2) Research related to teacher education (3) Research related to environmental education and energy education (4) Class analysis based on cognitive psychology (5) Improvement of academic ability through effective use of ICT We aim to provide teaching materials and curricula that enable the knowledge and skills acquired through experiential learning activities, which hone sensitivity, to be transferred as "wisdom" in response to an unpredictable future.
