Investigating the expectations and experiences of young undergraduate students at Asian universities concerning community engagement field research activities

Undergraduate field research in the social sciences can enhance a student’s understanding of the research process, help improve their critical thinking and analytical skills and provide them with opportunities for personal and professional growth. Furthermore, it often allows students to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations. This practical experience will generally include elements of problem-solving, communication, and collaboration, all highly valued by employers. However, research into producing a good basic model that will benefit all participants is essential to design projects and activities that fit well with the abilities and　interests of various student types across different disciplines and often cultural divides. This paper describes a university-community engagement project involving 43 undergraduate students from five Asian universities, allowing them to conduct field research and interviews on various individuals and organizations working to solve problems in their community, with guidance from faculty advisors. Surveys aimed at understanding student expectations, perceptions, and experiences revealed largely positive outcomes, including enhanced knowledge, skills, and motivation, along with a greater need for enhanced cross-cultural interaction. We analyze these results to suggest improvements for future field research models.departmental bulletin pape

Urban pollution and ecosystem services

Urban pollutants can degrade and inhibit ecological functions and processes. Those natural processes provide vital benefits and services to humans. The ‘services’ range from food and water provision, to aesthetics, cultural benefits, health and recreation opportunities, and also climate regulation (including water and air quality regulation and flood regulation). These services are referred to collectively as ecosystem services (ES). To understand the impacts of urban pollution, and the opportunities for mitigating its effects, it is important to explore the relationship between pollution and ES. This can lead to better decision-making for urban infrastructure and spaces and can provide increased opportunities for gaining multiple ES from urban environments

Online Exchange Programによる多文化理解教育と学習者の変容 -- オンラインと対面のハイブリッド型プロジェクトの試み

急速なグローバル化やコミュニケーションツールの進化により、国を超えた活動の可能性が広がっている。コロナ禍を経て留学が難しい学生にもオンライン交流が広まり、異文化コミュニケーション能力の育成が可能になった。本実践では、COILをベースにしたハイブリッド型プログラムをカナダの姉妹大学と共同で行った。複数回のオンライン交流、1回の対面交流でプロジェクト学習を行った結果、英語でのコミュニケーションにおける不安の軽減が観察された。departmental bulletin pape
