theories. Students will begin initial investigations
on While conducting a basic study of the issue,
students will organize the research problems tobe solved and, through discussions with theirsupervisors, formulate a medium-term researchplan and work on its solution. Students will learn
appropriate research methodologies (e.g., how toorganize and interpret data, how to expand,select, and focus research topics, etc.) in order tosolve problems.

Students will focus on selecting andconcentrating on their own research topics
according to the progress of their own research
projects. Through repeated discussions with theirsupervisors, students will review their research
topics and revise their research plans asnecessary to deepen their research in a flexible
and rational manner. In addition, students will
understand the relationship between the research
topic and the surrounding areas.
