Advancement of School Education and Evidence-based Research

The Center for Advanced School of Education and Evidence-based Research (CASEER) aims to improve professional development of teachers and execute curriculum development and school improvement through evidence-based research. It has two core divisions: “the Division of Global Research” and “the Division of Evidence-Based Research.” There are two sub-units: “the Secondary Education Unit” and “the Higher Education Unit,” under “the Division of Evidence-Based Research.”

In “the Division of Global Research,” we have a research project on innovation for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Japan and Sweden, with an international comparative perspective (Grant-in-Aid for challenging Exploratory Research 17K18612). We consider that “the ESD will empower people to change our society towards a sustainable future” from (1) economic, (2) socio-cultural and (3) scientific and technical perspectives, and analyze and try to theorize a new approach of such education.

“The Evidence-Based Research Secondary Education Unit” conducts panel surveys of the students and graduates of affiliated schools. The unit builds and manages a research platform that contributes to studying the effects of various educational programs in the attached schools, for the sake of evidence-based development of educational systems and policies such as those related to deep active learning.

“The Evidence-Based Research Higher Education Unit” works in collaboration with the Center for Research and Development of Higher Education at the University of Tokyo, and it analyzes relationships between the education the University of Tokyo students receive in school and the one after graduation. In order to clarify the effects of the University of Tokyo's education, we analyze and verify various students-focused research.
