Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists Has Been Accepted!

2026年02月26日

Hello everyone.

I am Xuewang Geng.

My first application for the “Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists” has been accepted in 2025. As it was my first time applying, I not only felt uneasy about the research content but also was unfamiliar with the KAKENHI electronic application system, to the point that I was even worried about whether I could successfully submit it. The title of the research is: “Development of a Conceptual Understanding Support and Data Analysis Infrastructure Integrating Multimedia Learning Theory and Self-Regulated Learning.”

First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the reviewers. I am truly grateful for your finding value in my research among many applications and for giving me this opportunity. I will do my best over the next three years to ensure this becomes a high-quality study.

As the digitization of education progresses, this research aims to improve conceptual understanding and the learning process by utilizing digital learning material distribution systems. Specifically, from the perspectives of multimedia learning theory and self-regulated learning theory, I will develop Augmented Reality (AR) tools and a learning analytics infrastructure integrated into the material distribution system. My goal is to construct an environment that promotes self-regulated learning by enabling learners to study difficult concepts and phenomena in a visual and interactive manner, while also visualizing the entire learning process and the status of conceptual understanding.

In the evaluation phase, I plan to verify the effectiveness of the system in supporting both teachers’ lesson design and students’ conceptual understanding. In particular, I hope to bring new insights to the field of educational technology by exploring the intersection between conceptual understanding through AR and the self-regulated learning process involving digital materials.

Over the next three years, I will be dedicated to producing results that contribute to education through this research. I will continue to report on the outcomes of this study in the future.
