On September 27th and 28th, we will be giving three presentations at the 2025 Autumn Conference of the Japan Society for Educational Technology in Nagoya. If you are interested, we would be delighted if you could attend. There are three presentations, but they are all scheduled at the same time (haha).

Formative Evaluation of a Career Self-Regulation Support Game

Kohei Ozaki, Xuewang Geng, Masanori Yamada

This study provides an overview of a card game used in career inquiry classes developed for high school students, as well as the classes themselves. The presenter, Mr. Ozaki, is an active high school teacher who also teaches courses on career building. This work is being conducted as part of research at the Yamada Laboratory. In the process of helping high school students consider their future careers, we developed a career self-regulation support game to enable them to recognize and advance their own career paths while taking into account potential future scenarios.

Construction of a Learning Data Collection Infrastructure for Card-Based Educational Games

Xuewang Geng, Kohei Ozaki, Masanori Yamada

Using Mr. Ozaki’s career self-regulation support game as a sample, Dr. Geng has developed a system capable of recording the gameplay of card games. While it does not utilize highly advanced technology, we are examining an approach that blends the benefits of physical paper cards with the digital advantage of logging data.

Expectations and Challenges for Sense-making Data-Driven Cram School Management

Masanori Yamada, Xuewang Geng (Kyushu University), Ryosuke Ogushi, Hiroki Nakao, Hiroyuki Iwashita, Koji Takano, Yuji Hirata, Masaki Miyazono, Hiroshi Ueo, Toshihide Tsutsui (Eishinkan)

This presentation examines how data-driven cram school management, which we are advancing as a joint research project with Eishinkan, can contribute to the operation of cram schools. We are currently receiving and analyzing data from Eishinkan and holding frequent discussions with them. Through these discussions, we are using the Delphi method to understand how experts in cram school management perceive data-driven management support. This presentation will cover the initial stages of this process.

We hope you will join us. Thank you.
