BiographyI am currently Associate Professor of Tokyo Gakugei University in Tokyo (Japan). I completed my Ph.D. in 2007 looking at the PE assessment at Tokyo Gakugei University in Japan. I have an interest in teaching and researching about Physical Education and Teacher Training. I used to be an elementary school teacher. I had taught elementary school students for 9 years. Then, I transferred to professor job in 2004.
I am challenging to incorporate the ICT into PE based on my previous researches. I developed the distance learning and application for PE. I positively implemented them on games curriculum. I was a chair of the Executive Committee of the 6th International Game Sense Conference. I have successfully managed it (https://nmy-252612treebell.wixsite.com/gamesense) in Japan. The number of participants reached a record in the past 5 conferences. At this conference, I made a platform for sharing information related to not only “Game Sense” but also a wide range of Game-centric approaches for teachers, researchers, coaches and other practitioners. I contributed to the integration and development of a derivative teaching approach that was born based on TGfU. Still now, I am trying to broaden the concepts of game centered approaches. Then, I am organizing the seminar and lectures for Game Centered approaches in Japan. Mission StatementI believe that TGfU is mainstream for game teaching in the school PE. But it might be misunderstood how to use it at the actual teaching in Japan. I suppose many teachers know that TGfU was based on constructivist learning. But most of the Japanese teachers still have a belief in PE based on behaviorist learning. For that reason, they are misconceptions about it. I am going to solve this problem in Japan.
I would publish the book related to TGfU for spreading out the authentic idea of it. Also, I would organize online global seminars for Japanese teachers and researchers in order that they can understand it authentically. I am going to organize the workshops and roundtables of game centered approaches at diverse levels. I am going to translate important publications related to TGfU and spread the TGfU concepts in Japan. I would love to connect the Japanese PE community to the world PE community by sharing TGfU researches and practices. |
