AboutAbout the lab
Teaching materials for learning the SDGs through agriculture and food
Professor Koji Tsuji's lab studies the design of classes that use agriculture, food, and plant genetic resources as teaching materials.
Professor Tsuji is a faculty member in technology education at the Faculty of Education, specializing in plant breeding and agricultural education.
Professor Tsuji has made the exploration, conservation, and use of plant genetic resources (wild species, landraces, and so on) a lifework, and has experience conducting field surveys in India, Nepal, Malaysia, and other countries.
In recent years, the research focus has shifted to education. In collaboration with overseas universities, the lab works on developing classes that use specialty agricultural products of Chiba Prefecture as teaching materials, as one kind of plant genetic resource.
Key terms
- Plant genetic resources
- Diverse plants, such as wild species and landraces, that are the targets of exploration, conservation, and utilization.
- SDGs
- Short for Sustainable Development Goals.
ResearchResearch themes
Based on the idea that agriculture and food are universal human activities and can serve as teaching materials usable in any country, the lab develops materials and class programs jointly with universities in India and ASEAN. It builds classes in collaboration with overseas universities, for example by using specialty agricultural products of Chiba Prefecture as teaching materials, as one kind of plant genetic resource.
Classes Using Plant Genetic Resources
In collaboration with overseas universities, the lab develops classes that use specialty agricultural products of Chiba Prefecture as teaching materials, as one kind of plant genetic resource. It is interested in using plant genetic resources to develop classes that can be shared in Japan and abroad.
Learning the SDGs through Agriculture and Food
The lab considers that agriculture and food can lead to topics such as climate, soil, agrochemicals, and food self-sufficiency, and are well suited to SDG education. It develops materials and class programs jointly with universities in India and ASEAN so that the same theme can be handled in multiple countries and differences in perspective between countries can also be learned.
Classes and Teacher Training for the SDGs
Schools in Japan, Southeast Asia, and South Asia collaborated to develop classes and teacher training programs through which agricultural and environmental education can help achieve the SDGs. After surveying knowledge of and interest in the SDGs in each country by questionnaire, the lab planned and carried out the classes and training, and confirmed that participants' understanding of and interest in the SDGs increased.
