Research

Connecting research and practice
to help learners navigate the information society.

I design lessons that help students engage with information as something personally relevant to their own lives,
and examine the questions behind those lessons through data and theory.

Research Themes

01

Information Ethics Education

How can students develop the capacity to make responsible, autonomous judgments as they use smartphones and social media in their everyday lives? This theme examines classroom practices through a theoretical lens.

02

Internet Addiction

Analysis of the psychological and behavioral characteristics associated with internet addiction tendencies among high school students. This theme also formed the core of my doctoral dissertation at Tohoku University.

03

Informatics Entrance Examinations

Research on trends in Informatics I in Japan’s Common Test for University Admissions and on interpreting the intent behind examination questions. This theme seeks to connect classroom teaching with high school–university articulation.

04

Teacher Education and Professional Development

Practical initiatives that support the quality of informatics teachers, including pre-service teacher education and research-based professional development for in-service teachers.

Standing at the intersection
of research and practice.

Classroom practice matters. Equally important is improving the quality of that practice through theory and data. This conviction comes from my experience of attending graduate school while working as a high school informatics teacher and earning both a master’s degree and a Ph.D.

I believe that when teachers themselves engage in research, they not only deepen their students’ learning but also broaden their own professional perspectives and foster their own growth.
