TOPICS

・The Human Transformation Study (HTS) is a research field that explores the diversity of changes and transformations throughout human life. In addition to conducting studies on education from viewpoints of philosophy and history of thought as theoretical research, we also conduct field researches using methods such as interview, participation observation, and "Ethnometry" as practical research.

・In FY2019, we attempted to measure and analyze the effects of practice at mother and child protection facilities and nursing homes using the newly developed "ethnometry method" for measuring behavior from the viewpoint of the practitioners. In the future, we plan to gradually expand the survey target while brushing up this measurement method.
