AboutAbout the lab
Supporting students' inquiry through learning media.
The Ono Lab is a library and information science lab that works with schools to study the learning media and inquiry-based learning that junior high and high school students use in their studies.
Inquiry-based learning has become more advanced, and students are expected to learn by making full use of a wide variety of media, but everyone feels anxious at first.
Working with schools, the lab identifies the basic data and elemental technologies needed so that students can produce inquiry results with confidence.
Undergraduate students are assigned to the lab in December of their third year for a pre-seminar.
