معرفی
Masamitsu Naruse is a Mathematics Education specialist currently serving as a Teacher at Waseda University Honjo Senior High School and as a Part-time Lecturer at Kyoritsu Women's University. His academic career spans over 15 years in secondary mathematics education with additional university-level teaching experience. He holds a Master of Science degree from Gakushuin University and is currently pursuing further studies at Waseda University Graduate School of Education.
Education Background:
- 2022.04 - Now: Waseda University Graduate School of Education
- 2006.04 - 2008.03: Gakushuin University Graduate School of Natural Science (Mathematics)
- 2002.04 - 2006.03: Gakushuin University Faculty of Science (Mathematics)
Naruse's research focuses on mathematics education in secondary schools, particularly on inquiry-based learning approaches, deep learning methodologies, and the epistemological foundations of mathematical concepts. His work examines how students develop conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas like definite integrals and logarithmic functions through structured inquiry. He has developed the ECJ (Example Collecting Jigsaw) method as an approach to promote inductive reasoning and deeper mathematical understanding among high school students.
His publication record shows a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated investigations of inquiry-based learning in mathematics education, with recent work focusing on anthropological theory of didactics and epistemological modeling for teaching definite integrals. Naruse's research often bridges theoretical frameworks with practical classroom applications, demonstrating how theoretical models can inform actual teaching practices in high school mathematics classrooms.
Scientific Awards:
- Baba Encouragement Award, Outstanding Paper Award (2018.03, Mathematics Education Society)
Naruse has received multiple research grants from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, including projects on inquiry-based learning in high school mathematics. His teaching practice includes innovative courses such as "Invitation to Mathematics" at Kyoritsu Women's University and "Manabu Okuboyama" (Mathematical Inquiry in the Okuboyama area) at Waseda University Honjo High School. He has also coordinated the "This is Science!" extracurricular lecture series since 2013, providing advanced science and mathematics content to high school students.
