| Profile |
My specialty is cognitive science (especially, situated learning). Situated Learning applications include learning environment design, design of artifacts, designing community of practices, creative workshop design, and participatory design. Among them, I am interested in research on “mundane creativity" of ordinary people and "participatory media culture".
As research methods, I mainly use fieldwork and ethnography. I've interviewed participants in craft communities and fan cultures, for example. The interview data is categorized and concepts rooted in the data will be constructed.
The type of research is to describe design plinciples of informal learning from fieldwork studies. Research results are clarified through presentations at domestic/international conferences and publications in journals. |
| Research Field(Keyword & Summary) |
- cognitive science
An interdisciplinary science that deals not only with human and animal intelligence, but also with intelligence in computer programs, organizations, and society. Members include researchers in psychology, information science including artificial intelligence, philosophy, linguistics, education, sociology, economics, anthropology, and brain science. Methods used include behavioral experiments, brain measurements, computational modeling and simulation, and ethnography.
- situated learning
A learning theory proposed by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its view of learning as a social practice, rather than as a teaching act according to an educational curriculum.
- fieldwork study
We study the ways in which people collaborate to produce observable social activities. We focus on the fact that social order is always achieved through the methods of its members.
