Tetsuo Isozaki – författare

With unique insights into the potential power of Japan’s STEM education, Isozaki and his team of contributors share multiple perspectives on STEM education theory and practices in Japan.

Examining how Japan has become an economic superpower based on scientific and technological innovations, this book provides a particular focus on the theoretical and practical analysis of STEM education from historical and comparative perspectives. Additionally, it links the theory and practice of STEM education from primary education to teacher education at universities across Japan and considers both societal and individual needs in advancing STEM literacy. Chapters are written by researchers from a diverse range of fields in education, including science, mathematics, technology, and pedagogy. The book also offers practical teaching tools and materials for teacher education and assessment to promote STEM literacy in students so that they are able to address local and global socio-scientific issues in a real-world context.

Covering a wide spectrum of STEM education, this book provides valuable insights and practical suggestions, from a Japanese perspective, for academic researchers, policymakers, and educators who are interested in STEM education.

This book project poses a major challenge to Japanese science education researchers in order to disseminate research findings on and to work towards maintaining the strength and nature of Japanese science education. It also presents a unique opportunity to initiate change and/or develop science education research in Japan. It provides some historical reasons essential to Japanese students’ success in international science tests such as TIMSS and PISA. Also, it helps to tap the potential of younger generation of science education researchers by introducing them to methods and designs in the research practice.
