Research Interests

　・Development of Non-Euclidean Geometry Teaching Materials for Cultivating Students' Initiative Using ICT

　・Development of Non-Euclidean Geometry Teaching Materials for Inquiry-Based Learning Using ICT

　　I believe that non-Euclidean geometry is a field that is suitable for cultivating logical thinking skills because it is a field that is difficult to intuit.

　　The fact that it is difficult to use intuition also means that it is difficult to visualize the thinking process.

　　In this regard, we will utilize ICT to enhance the educational effect by having students experiment and construct mathematical models.

　　Students will construct mathematical models through their own experiments, predict the results, and solve problems. Through a series of mathematical activities, we hope to foster independence.

　　If there is enough time for the research to progress, we would like to incorporate simulation into the teaching materials by using Julia, and develop it as a teaching material for geometry at universities.
