AboutAbout the lab
A data science approach to education
The Sugisawa Lab brings the methods of data science into education.
Its specialties are psychological statistics and educational measurement, and it uses statistical methods to interpret data collected from tests and surveys.
The lab works with the idea of estimating, as numerical quantities, things that cannot be measured directly, such as academic ability or attitudes, from the way people respond to questions.
The undergraduate specialized lab seminar and the graduate research supervision are offered under the name "Educational Data Science."

*Illustrative imageHow to handle missing data
Survey and test data often contain missing responses. In educational psychology research, the lab organizes and communicates methods for handling missing data properly instead of ignoring it, so that conclusions are less biased.
*Illustrative imageTeaching statistics to students in the humanities
Statistics is a subject that many humanities students who study psychology find difficult. Taking into account their learning experience up to high school and their learning before and after entering university, the lab investigates how statistics should be taught so that students truly acquire it.
