Students’ progression relies on teachers' commitment to understanding and acknowledging different ways of learning. Learning technologies have the potential to enhance learning and affective computing, which is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses emotion to enhance interactions between humans and robots, is one way to do so. Dr Hao-Chiang Koong Lin, Head of the Department of Information and Learning Technology, National University of Tainan, Taiwan, is seeking to improve the effectiveness of learning technology and he and his team are exploring interrelated topics such as AI chatbot-based affective tutoring system and incorporating alternative reality into learning, collaborating with artists and engineers and Professor Yu-Chuang Tseng. In one project, the team sought to integrate somatosensory interactive visual music creation with maker teaching strategy, which involved the creation of interactive artworks and explored visitors’ interactions with the artworks. They discovered that the artworks created with kinect were most popular and witnessed enhanced playfulness and positive emotions while learning. In another project, Lin and the team are designing an interdisciplinary creative course combining technology and art. This involves creating an emotional learning system based on an AI chatbot and applying affective computing techniques to better understand the emotional responses of learners.

Miki Sato
It is said that the literary texts cannot be fully appreciated unless it is read in the original text in its native language. Professor Miki Sato agrees that reading the original version is vital and also believes that considering translations of the work can be an important tool to understand the impact of literature. Sato is based at Sapporo University, Japan, and her work involves a contextual approach in which she focuses on the translation of foreign works into Japanese. Currently, she is exploring the reception of foreign literature from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the Meiji (1868-1912) periods. Sato is working to connect knowledge of foreign literature from the early-modern era with that of the modern period and showcase the role of translation studies (TS) in bridging the divide between research on literary translations of these two time periods. Her own field of TS can traverse boundaries created by vertically-divided academic fields. The key to translation is considering what can be gained. Sato believes it is important to clarify the sometimes ambiguous terminology regarding translation, which will ultimately lead to greater understanding of literary works. By focusing on the translations and the context around them, Sato is seeking to put together a map of similarities, differences and the impact of translations beyond the disciplinary boundaries.

Toshikazu Ikeda
The continuous development of education is important in order to ensure it keeps growing and improving. Professor Toshikazu Ikeda, College of Education, Yokohama National University, Japan, is a Professor of Mathematics who is a proponent of revolutionary knowledge growth through overturning, expanding, and integrating acquired knowledge and skills. This is about progression through bridging the gap between a knowledge goal and the existing knowledge base through developing techniques and pathways to that goal. Ikeda believes that by inserting revolutionary knowledge growth into the mathematics curriculum in Japan, children can be encouraged towards more independent and problem solving based thinking. He has performed an analysis of current teaching materials which involved examining local teaching materials in a specific area, using lessons to analyse and evaluate those materials and looking at long-term global teaching materials that give a deeper examination of specific topics, focusing on how and where it can be used and how students react to the content. In his work, Ikeda uses modelling as a problem solving tool and to develop techniques to deepen learning and lead to revolutionary knowledge growth. Ikeda is collaborating with Professor Max Stephens, Melbourne University, to produce lectures centred on revolutionary growth knowledge for students at teacher training colleges. A key part of Ikedaâ–™s work is teaching mathematical modelling in order to help students understand the importance of mathematics and develop their abilities.

Jeng-Yi Tzeng
Learning is a key fundamental of life. Professor Jeng-Yi Tzeng, Institute of Learning Sciences and Technologies, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, has been investigating the differences between knowledge-based and ignorance-based pedagogy. He believes it is important to recognise the importance of seeking non-knowledge (learning to be ignorant) alongside the pursuit of knowledge (learning to know). Most institutions follow a knowledge-based learning approach that prizes knowledge over non-knowledge but Tzeng believes different learning techniques could help students and teachers alike. He believes the learning journey should include a focus on ignorance, with exploration of the gaps that received knowledge doesn’t cover. Tzeng has studied different paradigms used in pedagogy such as the paradigm of ignorance, which poses ignorance as the focus for meaning and organises learning and the popular paradigm of epistemology, which builds on introducing new knowledge by building on existing knowledge. He has been developing and implementing the “unknowing-oriented teaching model” in the teacher training programmes run at the Centre for Teacher Education with heavy involvement from students, including encouraging students to ask good quality questions to be used in discussion in class. The response from students so far has been profoundly positive and the model has enabled them to develop more critical thinking skills. Having focused on the teaching side of things, Tzeng is now exploring ignorance-based learning.

Keiji Noguchi
In addition to being a researcher, Dr Keiji Noguchi is a foster parent and so understands the importance of a support model to prevent disruption of foster children placement. Noguchi, Faculty of Education, Fukuyama City University, Japan, is leading a project focused on developmental research on practical models and manuals for foster parent support specialists. This builds on previous research from Osaka Prefecture University and seeks to show how best to support foster parents and prevent disruption. To achieve this goal, Noguchi is developing practical models and manuals to support foster parents. A key focus is on the role of specialists who are assigned to Residential Care Institutions for Children (RCIC). Noguchi believes these Institutions and foster parents both play an important role in the success of foster parenting but it is important to find an effective means to better understand the current situation regarding the support that foster parents receive from institutions, decipher what works and what doesn’t and develop recommendations in line with this. The most important aspect of this work is ensuring that the needs of foster children are realised and fulfilled and so their input is invaluable. Foster parents also need to be considered as if the needs of foster parents are being met it is more likely that the needs of foster children are, in turn, being met. As such, Noguchi and the team are conducting an interview survey on foster parent support for foster parents and professionals in RCIC that support foster parent care and have collected valuable data that has enabled them to create a manual for foster parent care support called the Foster Parent Programme.

Kazunori Edahiro
It is known that a pupil’s environment can influence and affect their behaviour and researchers are working to create good environments at both school and home in order that schoolchildren have the support they need to navigate life inside and outside of education. In his latest work, licensed psychologist and a certified clinical psychologist Associate Professor Kazunori Edahiro, Faculty of Human Culture and Sciences, Fukuyama University, Japan, is applying behavioural science to the creation of an environment that is easy for all youth to live in, with a key focus on using positive behaviour support and ‘good behaviour tickets’. Edahiro is interested in the influence of diagonal relationships on the development of youths and, in previous work, used the ethnography method and the Trajectory Equifinality Approach (TEA). Currently, he is working to develop a support programme that can clarify the effects and changes on the mental and behavioural aspects of teachers and caregivers and connect schools and homes through the use of good behaviour tickets. Instances of good behaviour are described by tickets that are sent home, establishing a more positive relationship between school and home. In addition to immediate benefits for individual students, the programme has the potential to be applied more widely in the education system in Japan and other countries.

M. Cho
Professor Myungje Cho has been studying the impact of Buddhism on society during the Goryeo period. In his current research, he is exploring the significance of the History of Thought by reorganising the flow and character of Goryeo Buddhism as East Asian Buddhism and the History of Thought. Cho has shown that while Goryeo Buddhism demonstrated some influence from Song's Zen philosophy, it also maintained its own independent characteristics. In his analysis, Cho showed that the two phases of Goryeo’s adoption of Koan Zen, the spread of Wenzi Chan during the period of the 12th to 13th centuries, was followed by the popularity of Kanhua Chan amongst the Goryeo intellectuals in the 14th century. In his work, he sought to identify the phases of adoption of Goryeo’s Koan Zen and explain the factors for accelerating its spread and impact of the transmission on society. Cho analysed and clarified, for the first time, the main text and the flow of ideas of Zen Buddhism in Goryeo. His research also offers a way to understand Korean mediaeval Buddhism within a wider context of East Asian history of ideas through the literary analysis of Chinese literature published in Goryeo or Zen literature compiled in Goryeo Buddhism from the perspective of cultural history.

Suguru Mori
The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 was the first time that a single disaster relocated hundreds of districts, and it was completely unprecedented. Professor Suguru Mori is an expert in the field of helping communities rebuild after natural disasters who is interested in taking lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake in the establishment of community relocation that places emphasis on human rights and ethics. As a bachelor student, Mori experienced the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake in 1995, gaining the dual perspective of victim and researcher. This highlighted a disconnect. Mori is based in the Division of Architecture, Hokkaido University, Japan, where he is exploring planned community relocation in the context of large-scale disasters and climate change in the Asia-Pacific region, with a particular focus on Koizumi district in Kesennuma city and looking at both past and future risks. In addition to being a researcher, Mori is an architect and planner and a key approach is Action Research, which integrates research and practice to catalyse transformative change. He also uses approaches from the unique academic field of architectural planning research (APR), which was developed in academic circles of the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) and scientifically examines architecture and its design methods.

K. Shoyama
Land-Change Science is an emergent field that seeks to enhance understanding of the negative impacts of land use and cover change (LUCC) in order to expedite the development of sustainable resource management and sustainable land use policies. Dr Kikuko Shoyama is a research fellow at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience, Japan, who is conducting research on Land-Use Functions. In her latest project, she is focusing on ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) and she and the team will explore how to utilise Eco-DRR as one of the Land-Use Functions and look at the type of payment system that is needed to support community activities. This work on designing so-called payment for ecosystem services (PES) involves recognising and valuing the variety of services that ecosystems provide to society. Through PES, an awareness and appreciation of the value of ecosystems can be cultivated. In her work on Eco-DRR, Shoyama is investigating the effects of land use policies on disaster reduction, with a focus on flood risk information and the impact of policies that promote or inhibit protective behaviour related to land use. The work involves the use of a hierarchical linear model that extracts the factors affecting protective behaviours by taking into account land ownership and community characteristics. The factors can then be introduced into a land use model and analyses are performed. Ultimately, Shoyama hopes her work will lead to recommendations that will inform a newer land use strategy and social transformative change.

Ultimately,\u0000 Shoyama hopes her work will lead to recommendations that will inform a newer land use strategy and social transformative change.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78172437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crustaceans are a valuable food source and commercially important. In order to ensure population stability, environmental diversity and food security, understanding the underlying endocrinology of these arthropods is key. Dr Kenji Toyota, Marine Biological Station, Sado Island Center for Ecological Sustainability, Niigata University, is working on research to shed light on the mechanisms that control key stages in crustacean life cycles and better understand how they have adapted to the environment of Sado Island. The research involves field work, breeding-based experiments with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and next generation sequencing (NGS) to analyse endocrine factors and related genes, with a focus on the eyestalk-derived hormones found in decapod crustaceans. One of Toyota's key projects is focused on the environmental sex determination (ESD) and toxicogenomics of the water flea Daphnia. He and his collaborators have reported on how insect growth regulators (IGRs) have disrupted non-target arthropod species, which includes larval lethality, defects arising in the metamorphosis process and disruption in sexual differentiation. Toyota's work is highlighting the negative environmental impacts of waste products and chemicals and also uncovering knowledge that can assist in the management of populations in both wild and farmed settings. Toyota has revealed the endocrine mechanisms that control metamorphosis during larval development and uncovered the ecotoxicological impacts of IGRs. The researchers are also investigating the roles of hormones innate JH (methyl farnesoate) and ecdysteroids (20-hydroxyecdysone, 20E) in the progression of Kuruma prawns throughout the larval stages.
