AboutAbout the lab
Designing environments that support learning.
The Yamauchi Lab studies how to design environments that support learning so that learning can be effectively facilitated.
Learning is a complex phenomenon that occurs within a delicate balance among the people who support learners, the peers who learn together with them, and artifacts such as media.
The lab examines learning environments from the perspectives of space, activities, community, and artifacts, and clarifies them through practice-based research.
Graduate students conduct research on learners of a wide range of ages, from young children to working adults, and come from various fields including psychology, education, and information engineering.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how to design the environments that support learning (space, activities, community, and artifacts) when information and communication technology is introduced into learning settings. It views learners as agents who design their own learning, and explores new mechanisms to support them.

The lab clarifies, through practice-based research, how to design learning environments composed of space, activities, community, and artifacts so that learning can be supported when information and communication technology is introduced into learning settings.
*Illustrative imageInnovation in Learning Environments
Rather than seeing learners as people who wait to be taught, the lab views them as agents who design their own learning, and studies new mechanisms to support that process, drawing on insights from education, design theory, educational technology, and cognitive science.
