Toru IIYOSHI
Professor
I am engaged theoretically and practically in promotion, diffusion and enlightenment of educational innovations using ICT and new educational methods and in futurological research on higher education systems which have been globalized, open, and ubiquitous in the advanced information and knowledge-based societies. In addition, I work on comparative research on institutions and cultures regarding university education, organization, administration and leadership mainly in North America and Japan.
Kayo MATSUSHITA
Professor
I critically investigate ability-related concepts (literacy, competence, etc.) in post-modern society and how they should be developed in formal education (including university education) from perspectives such as curriculum and assessment & evaluation, and seek to construct practice-oriented theories on them. A feature of my research is that it engages with differences and similarities across the various levels of formal education, using actual cases collected through fieldwork.
Mana TAGUCHI
Associate Professor
I have been pursuing research on the organization and management of universities implementing e-learning, and the effects of ICT in teaching and learning processes. I am also interested in the growth processes of university faculty members and conducting research focusing especially on the issues related to preparing future faculty. My goal is to theorize the relationships between ICT and FD through implementing FD projects using ICT, in order to enhance teaching quality.
Hiroyuki SAKAI
Associate Professor
I do practical research on ICT (Information and Communication Technology) use to enhance higher education. I am currently interested in the development of online support environments so that a diversity of educational enhancement initiatives at various levels can be effectively visible and sharable for individual teachers, teacher communities, and organizations.
Machi SATO
Associate Professor
I bring sociological and social anthropological perspectives into higher education research and practice. I have undertaken research projects on academic identities, doctoral education, and teaching assistant & learning assistant professional development.
As my undergraduate degree was in Southeast Asian Studies, I love experiencing different cultures and life habits.
