  • International Perspectives in Geography AJG Library 3
    International Perspectives in Geography AJG Library 3 Editor in Chief: Noritaka Yagasaki, Japan More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/10223 Aims and Scope: The AJG Library is published by Springer under the auspices of the Association of Japanese Geographers. This is a scholarly series of international standing. Given the multidisciplinary nature of geography, the objective of the series is to provide an invaluable source of information not only for geographers, but also for students, researchers, teachers, administrators, and professionals outside the discipline. Strong emphasis is placed on the theoretical and empirical understanding of the changing relationships between nature and human activities. The overall aim of the series is to provide readers throughout the world with stimulating and up-to-date scientifi c outcomes mainly by Japanese and other Asian geographers. Thus, an “Asian” fl avor different from the Western way of thinking may be refl ected in this series. The AJG Library will be available both in print and online via SpringerLink. About the AJG The Association of Japanese Geographers (AJG), founded in 1925, is one of the largest and leading organizations on geographical research in Asia and the Pacifi c Rim today, with around 3000 members. AJG is devoted to promoting research on various aspects of human and physical geography and contributing to academic development through exchanges of information and knowledge with relevant internal and external academic communities. Members are tackling contemporary issues such as global warming, air/water pollution, natural disasters, rapid urbanization, irregular land-use changes, and regional disparities through comprehensive investigation into the earth and its people.

This study investigates how puppetry-based tabletop microteaching systems can contribute to student teacher training compared with normal microteaching. The study analyzes student teachers’ discourse using a puppetry- based microteaching system called “EduceBoard” introduced to a university class. The analysis included an epistemic network analysis to identify the specific features that influence changes and clarify particular discourse patterns that were found and a qualitative analysis of the discourse data. Results indicate that the puppetry-based microteaching and improvisational dialogs that it eli- cited enhanced student teachers’ practical insights and gave them the opportu- nity to develop their students’ learning and run the class smoothly. Keywords: Microteaching Á Teacher education Á Puppetry 1 Introduction Nurturing students to explore things in a meaningful way, discover problems, reflect on their opinions, and engage in problem-solving alongside their peers is essential for preparing for 21st century society.

Perspective-taking of a wide variety of pupils or students is funda- mental in designing a dialogic classroom. As a vehicle of perspective-taking, a tangible puppetry CSCL can create a learning environment that reduces the participants’ anxiety or apprehension toward evaluation and elicits various types of pupils or students, allowing them to learn various perspectives. The CSCL also provides a 3D animation that records the puppetry for prompting perspective- taking of a variety of pupils in mutual feedback discussions. A comparative experiment, which comprised of a self-performed, a puppetry, and a second self- performed microteachings, showed a relatively stable impact of the puppetry microteaching in the mutual feedback discussions on the second self-performed.

Ordered Biclique Partitions and Communication Complexity Prob- lems by Shigeta Manami and Amano Kazuyuki (Gunma university). The award has been given her at the last day, January 30, 2014. Congratulations! This workshop is jointly organized with LA, Japanese association of theoreti- cal computer scientists. Its purpose is to give a place for discussing topics on all aspects of theoretical computer science. That is, this workshop is an unrefereed meeting. All submissions are accepted for the presentation. There should be no problem of presenting these papers in refereed conferences and/or journals. We hold it twice a year (January/February, and July/August).
