Course Description
The Discussion Leading and Organizing course is designed to practically train students how to control and/or
stimulate discussions. Apart from logical thinking, effective discussion requires several skills, such ascomprehensive ability to detect essential points, wide knowledge to relate several topics, and sensibility to follow
audiences’ interests. In this course, students will learn those skills through providing “seed questions” to stimulate
discussions at seminars or meetings.
At an inner-lab seminar or an akin meeting, the student should provide seed questions just after a talk presented byanother person. The questions should cover essential points of the presentation, and also interests of the audience.
At the end of the seminar, the mentor professor evaluates those questions based on how discussion with theaudience was stimulated by them. The seminars or meetings should be held at least once a month, in order to keep
opportunities of training for the students.
Concrete topics of this course include: Logical consistency of the presentation
 Comprehensive ability to sort essential and trivial points of the presentation
 Wide knowledge to expand topics toward the related issues, such as practical examples and similar ideas indifferent fields of science and engineering
 Distinguish different interests from different audiences
Course Outline
Series of seminars or meetings, at least once a month; contact the mentor professor

Discussion Leading & Organizing ガイドライン（指導教員向け）

Discussion Leading & Organizing の科目では，普段の研究室のセミナーや非公式な研究会などを利用して，学生に「有意義な議論の進め方」を体得させることを目的としています。個々の議論において論理の正確さが必要なのはもちろんですが，さらに討議を有意義なものにするためには，どのような論点を選ぶかが重要になります。提供されている話題において，瑣末な確認事項でなく本質的な論点を抽出したり，参加者の興味を考慮して論点を選んだり，関連した話題を豊富に提供したりすることで，議論に幅をもたせ密度の濃い討論が可能となります。これらは，単身学習ではなく，セミナーや研究会でこそ体験できる内容です。
・実施方法について
対象学生以外の人が発表者となっているセミナー・研究会において，発表の直後に対象学生から 2-3 個のSeed Questions を提出させます。発表者および聴衆は，この Seed Questions に対する応答を元に議論をします。
もちろん，対象学生自身がこの議論に加わっても構いません。Seed Questions に端を発する議論が，どの程度広がりを持って活発に行われたかを毎回指導教員は評価し，具体的な改善点を例示して下さい。
少なくとも月に１度は，この形式のセミナー・研究会を開催し，当該学生が練習する機会を与えて下さい。
特に，聴衆の構成（学部学生・修士学生が主体か，教員が主体か，外部の研究者が主体か等）が異なるセミナー・研究会を経験させることで，聴衆によって興味を持つ対象が変わることも理解できるようにしてください。
もちろん，学生によるSeed Questions の設定ができない公式な研究会等で行う必要はありません。
・評価について発表の本質的な部分に切り込んだ質問であったり，別の分野や地域での似た技術や応用例との関連性に関する質問であったり，聴衆が聞きたかった内容についての質問であれば，その後に活発な議論が展開されていくと期待されます。逆に，明らかに瑣末な内容への執拗な質問や，聴衆を置き去りにするような的外れな質問だと，それに続く議論は期待できません。Seed Questions を出した本人にもその場で結果が明白に分かりますので，指導教員は具体的な改善例を示しながら評価してください。
なお，発表内容や聴衆の組み合わせによっては，指導教員ですら Seed Questions を作るのが難しい場合もありますので，評価は状況を考慮して柔軟に行ってください。

Course Description
This course is intended to familiarize doctoral students with basic research concepts and their application in
conducting educational research. Further, this course is designed to help doctoral students make some of thedecisions for their own research proposals. Consequently, students will become familiar with tools that enable themto determine the best approach for a problem they wish to investigate, the nature of their research objectives, and theconstraints of the research problem. Students will broaden their knowledge of how to access, understand, andevaluate research reports.
Concrete topics of this course include: Distinguish between opinion articles and reports of systematic research.
 Explore the trends and issues related to the development of a research proposal.
 Develop an understanding of the various components of an effective research proposal.
 Gain familiarity with a variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques.
 Identify a research problem within study field of concentration, to generate appropriate research questions, and to
explore the choice of an appropriate methodology and design
 Explore issues in designing a clearly focused, defensible research project Describe the Principles underlying randomized experiments and their advantages for making casual inferences.
 Select appropriate measures for assessing outcomes, describing implementation fidelity, and capturing process
variables.

Course Description
Completing a thesis successfully is the last and often most challenging part of doctoral studies. The goal is to put
one’s theoretical knowledge and research proficiency to practical test by carrying out an independent projectproducing an original piece of research and making a significant contribution to solving a problem and expanding theknowledge base in the specific discipline. While research is an ongoing process, in which one is expected to stay on
top of the relevant developments in the discipline, the assumption is that students are capable of thinking through theimportant milestones in the thesis process and developing a thesis prospectus that spells out the core concepts andquestions as well as the designs of research and the structure of intended thesis.
Concrete topics of this course include: Apply theoretical and methodological understanding and skills into devising researchable ideas and specific researchquestions and hypotheses
 Conduct a focused review of the relevant literature and create appropriate conceptual framework Develop a realistic research design with specific research strategies
 Think through and articulate a chapter-by-chapter outline of the intended a thesis
 Communicate research ideas and their appropriate theoretical and methodological issues effectively and efficiently
 Critique other’s ideas paying particular attention to both theoretical and methodological rigor and reality
 Gain understanding of the process of thesis including stress, time, and project management, committee formation,
thesis proposition and defense, and human subjects reviews.
