Japanese, 福島第一原子力発電所の事故以降,主に放射能リスクをテーマとしたリスクコミュニケーションの取り組みが各地で進められてきた.だが,多くは啓蒙的な説明会にとどまっており,専門家と一般市民との間に十分な双方向の対話の場を生み出せていない.こうした状況を克服するためには,リスク情報を正確かつ受け手側に配慮しながら発信できるリスクコミュニケーターの育成が急務である.北海道大学CoSTEPでは2014 年度にリスクコミュニケーション選択実習という新しい実習を設け,福島の農業と放射能リスクをテーマに活動した.最終的に2015 年2 月から3 月にかけ,三つの対話イベントを実施した.本実習では,「コンテンツの制作能力」「コミュニケーションの場を生み出す能力」「適切なフレームを協働構築する能力」の三つの能力を育成することを目指し,TV番組等を活用して実習中に何度もリスク問題を取り上げて議論を重ねたこと.実際に福島で調査したこと.現地取材した映像を実習メンバーで編集してサイエンス・カフェ等で映像レポートとして上映したことの三つが大きな特徴である.これらの実践を通して「当事者性」「主体性」「多様な価値観」を獲得することができ,上記三つの能力にポジティブな効果がもたらされた. - Elucidating Multi-disciplinary and Inter-agency Collaboration Process for Coordinated Elderly Care: A Case Study of a Japanese Care Access Center

English, International conference proceedings, This study compares the process of inter-agency collaboration among multi-disciplinary agencies within Japan as they work to provide well-coordinated care for the elderly through a Community Care Access Center (CCAC). Using the KJ method, also known as an "affinity diagram", in two group meetings (before and after CCAC establishment) with practitioners and administrators from 6 agencies in the city of Kakegawa, Japan. 521 comments by agencies were coded into 37 categories. In comparing the comments from the two meetings, the portion of negative comments regarding organization management decreased, while comments on the shared problems of the CCAC increased. A multiple correspondence analysis indicated that the 6 agencies shared a greater awareness of issues after the establishment of the CCAC, but the problems pointed out by the visiting nurses agency differed from those of the other agencies. - Knowledge creation in technology evaluation of 4-wheel electric power assisted bicycle for frail elderly persons: A case study of a salutogenic device in healthcare facilities in Japan

English, International conference proceedings, As societies age, it is anticipated that we will see a sudden increase in the number of frail elderly persons. New assisted-technology (AT) devices to facilitate the activities of daily life (ADL), especially of walking, are essential for the healthy life of these people. However, frail elderly people suffer a variety of physical and mental weaknesses that tend to hinder their ability to make use of AT devices in the intended manner. Because of this, it is important that new AT devices undergo technology evaluation within the context in which they are to be used, but there is very little research in this area. In this study, frail elderly people in Japanese daycare centers and rehabilitation facilities were given a 4-wheel, power-assisted bicycle, called a "Life Walker" (LW), to ride, and technology evaluations were carried out based on functionality, usability, and experience as perceived by the frail elderly riders. The LW is considered to be best suited for those age 75 and older assessed at level 1 to 3 under Japan's long-term care insurance program, but the data for the 61 people at the rehabilitation facility who tried out the bicycle under the supervision of a resident physical therapist (PT), indicated that there was considerable individual deviation on the continued use of the AT device. The LW is also meant to enable frail elderly users who have difficulty walking to go outside and enjoy themselves more. It was found, however, that this effect was achieved only when the physical therapist intervened, gave encouragement, adjusted the bicycle settings as needed for the user, and otherwise created new knowledge. It was also found that in order for this kind of knowledge creation to take place, the bicycle must be used in an appropriate setting, the user needs to have a proactive attitude, and organizational support to ensure that therapists are appropriately assigned is necessary. - An Analysis of Multi-disciplinary & Inter-agency Collaboration Process - Case Study of a Japanese Community Care Access Center.

PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE, 22, 6, 674, 690, SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, Aug. 2013, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, There are various definitions and survey methods for scientific literacy. Taking into consideration the contemporary significance of scientific literacy, we have defined it with an emphasis on its social aspects. To acquire the insights needed to design a form of science communication that will enhance the scientific literacy of each individual, we conducted a large-scale random survey within Japan of individuals older than 18 years, using a printed questionnaire. The data thus acquired were analyzed using factor analysis and cluster analysis to create a 3-factor/4-cluster model of people's interest and attitude toward science, technology and society and their resulting tendencies. Differences were found among the four clusters in terms of the three factors: scientific factor, social factor, and science-appreciating factor. We propose a plan for designing a form of science communication that is appropriate to this current status of scientific literacy in Japan. - Using a scientific literacy cluster to determine participant attitudes in scientific events in Japan, and potential applications to improving science communication

Japanese, Most universities in Japan conduct course evaluation as part of the faculty development program, and many methods to improve course content have been proposed. However, few studies discuss the improvement of omnibus courses. In this paper, we suggest a new method to improve omnibus courses, especially their consistency and relevance. We designed an omnibus course named "Clean Energy Business and Social Acceptance," which consisted of six serial lectures, each conducted by a different lecturer. Prior to the running of the course, we interviewed the lecturers and formulated a conceptual netwo... - Residential PV system users' perception of profitability, reliability, and failure risk: An empirical survey in a local Japanese municipality

English, Scientific journal, Although previous studies have addressed the reliability of residential PV systems in order to improve the dissemination of the systems among individual users and societies, few have examined users' perception of their own PV systems, which might contain solutions to firmly establish the system into society. First, the present paper examined the extent to which residential PV system users understand specification, reliability, and failure risk of their own systems. Second, causal factors affecting users' satisfaction with PV systems were examined. By analyzing data collected in Kakegawa City, this paper revealed that users did not appropriately understand the basic specifications of their residential PV systems, and in particular, the fact that the systems sometimes failed and therefore needed proper maintenance. Furthermore, a strong causal relationship between users' expectations of financial return from the system and their level of satisfaction was confirmed empirically. These results suggested that excessive focus on profitability and relatively low interest in the systems' reliability and failure risk should be addressed more to avoid problems that could potentially hamper the establishment of this technology into society.

Japanese, Scientific journal, In today’ s engineering education, it is indispensable to develop an education program for improving communication capability. And it is important to have meaningful evaluation systems to measure the effectiveness of such a program. Nonetheless, an objective method of evaluation has not yet to be established. In this paper, I reviewed previous cases about the definition of communication and the education methods, so as to clarify the issue. I then move on to describe our struggle to develop an evaluation system which makes use of conceptual networks, rubrics, and evaluations of the scientific literacy of participants. Although these methods are integral to the definition of communication capability and educational methods, it is necessary to improve the objectivity and the feasibility. - Stem cell system in sexual and asexual reproduction of Enchytraeus japonensis (Oligochaeta, Annelida)

Japanese, Engineering students are increasingly expected to perform as “global engineers” to lead the society as opinion leaders in finding proper directions for science and engineering developments. The Tokyo Institute of Technology is offering “the knowledge, thinking ability, and skills as the basis for its students to play active roles as international leaders reaching across the boundaries of professional areas.” This new trial, including overseas internship programmes, is unique as it tries to provide “international liberal arts education that is capable of answering the needs of engineering st... - Understanding science literacy: a questionnaire designed for proposing an educational program by literacy cluster

Japanese journal of science communication, 3, 3, 40, 60, 北海道大学科学技術コミュニケーター養成ユニット, Mar. 2008, [Peer-reviewed]
Japanese, The definition of science and technology literacy is constantly changing reflecting the relation between science and society. The more recent one is not only for a person to understand science and its methodology, but also to be able to make a comprehensive judgment on the influences of science and technology on the society and to reflect the judgment on one's activities. In this paper, the author will first make a general survey of the views on science and technology literacy based on earlier domestic as well as foreign studies. Next, the author will make a survey of the questionnaires used as means to judge the "literacy," to know how and what they measured. The author then describes a new questionnaire developed as a part of this study designed to evaluate the literacy in connection with the social recognition, and the result of the survey conducted using the questionnaire, reporting its finding that it is necessary to propose a separate educational program for each cluster of people with different tendency. - Studies on the mechanism of head and tail regeneration in Enchytraeus japonensis (Annelida, Oligochaeta)

English, Scientific journal, The Enchytraeida Oligochaeta Enchytraeus japonensis propagates asexually by spontaneous autotomy. Normally, each of the 5-10 fragments derived from a single worm regenerates a head anteriorly and a tail posteriorly. Occasionally, however, a head is formed posteriorly in addition to the normal anterior head, resulting in a bipolar worm. This phenomenon prompted us to conduct a series of experiments to clarify how the head and the tail are determined during regeneration in this species. The results showed that (1) bipolar head regeneration occurred only after artificial amputation, and not by spontaneous autotomy, (2) anesthesia before amputation raised the frequency of bipolar head regeneration, and (3) an extraordinarily high proportion of artificially amputated head fragments regenerated posterior heads. Close microscopic observation of body segments showed that each trunk segment has one specific autotomic position, while the head segments anterior to the VIIth segment do not. Only the most posterior segment VII in the head has an autotomic position. Examination just after amputation found that the artificial cutting plane did not correspond to the normal autotomic position in most cases. As time passed, however, the proportion of worms whose cutting planes corresponded to the autotomic position increased. It was suspected that the fragments autotomized after the artificial amputation (corrective autotomy). This post-amputation autotomy was probably inhibited by anesthesia. The rate at which amputated fragments did not autotomize corresponded roughly to the rate of bipolar regeneration. It was hypothesized then that the head regenerated posteriorly if a fragment was not amputated at the precise autotomic position from which it regenerated without succeeding in corrective autotomy. - Histological profiling for head and tail determination in regenerating Enchytraeus japonensis

本研究の目的は,「科学技術の智プロジェクト」での議論のダイナミクスを,市民の科学リテラシー涵養という社会的議論への科学の「専門家」の動員の在り方という視座から解体することで,当該プロジェクトがなぜ具体的な施策の実現に結びつけられなかったのか, その原因の一端を明らかにすることである.特に, 「専門家」の動員と運用に際して発露される科学者の政治性という視点から「科学技術の智プロジェクト」(2006-07年度)を批判的に考察することで, 市民の科学リテラシー涵養という社会的議論における科学の「専門家」の動員のあり方を示すことを目指す. このことはまた, 科学技術をめぐる社会的意思決定への多様なアクターの参加をめぐる「第三の波」論争のなかで繰り返し問われてきた, 「専門家とは何か」という問いかけに対しても, 部分的に答えを提供しうることが期待されるものである.
2021年度は、「科学技術の智プロジェクト」(評議会, 企画推進会議, 全体会議, 三者会議, 報告書作業部会, 定着化部会, 広報部会, 関連シンポジウム, および七つの専門部会), また関連する日本学術会議科学力増進分科会等の関連委員会の議事録を収集するとともに、計量テキスト分析を行うためのコーパスを作成した. また「科学リテラシーをもった日本人像」がどのような語られ方をするのかについてより多面的な考察を行うべく、東日本大震災ならびにCOVID-19に関してTwitterでなされた市民の科学リテラシーをめぐるツイートの収集を行った。

本研究は、これまで科学哲学で議論されてきた科学の方法論に、数理的および統計学的な視点をプラスして、最終的に科学教育に応用することを目的とする。この目的を果たす上で、二つの大きな課題がある。一つは科学哲学の概念的な議論の中に、科学における数理モデル、統計モデルとの接点を見出すこと。もう一つは、逆に数理・統計モデルに関してその概念的意味を明らかにして科学哲学で扱う問題に接続することである。
本年は、特に後者に関して重要な成果を上げることができた。これまで本研究のメンバーで研究会等で議論してきた内容を、科学基礎論学会の英文誌 Annalsに、Special Edition: Philosophy of Statistics として5本の論文を掲載した(いずれも査読付き論文)。島谷は科学における統計モデルの位置づけについて、松王は尤度主義の概念的問題について、森元は頻度主義における根本的対立の意味について、また大久保はベイズ主義と頻度主義の対立解消の糸口について、そして尾崎はベイズ主義の実践科学における意味について、それぞれ論じた。このような統計学の哲学的解題は、これまで日本ではほとんど例がなく、画期的である。
上記成果に加え、代表者の松王は、科学哲学教育の試行の一環として、最高裁判所下の司法研修所における講演を請け負った。講演では、科学哲学の伝統的な問題の一つである、「科学者が科学的判断において価値判断を行うことは適切か」という問題をめぐって、これが実際の科学においていかに問題になりうるかを、統計的な視点を交えつつ、イタリアの「ラクイラ地震裁判」を例として論じた。参加した裁判官の方々に、司法の場で「科学者の価値判断」の可否、是非について考察するよい機会になったものと考える。

科学技術コミュニケーターはCOVID-19の流行によって関心が再び高まっている。一方でその専門性は状況・文脈依存性が高く、わかりづらく評価しにくい。これは科学技術コミュニケーション教育とキャリアパス形成のための大きな課題である。
本研究では、科学技術コミュニケーターの専門性をコンピテンシーベースで明らかにするものである。これまで8名の熟達的科学技術コミュニケーターにインタビュー調査を実施し、さらにその結果をコンピテンシーディクショナリーに基づいて分析した。コンピテンシーディクショナリーとは、Spencer and Spencer(1993)によって開発されたコンピテンシーの基礎になる要素である。コンピテンシーディクショナリーでは、行動インディケータ360種類を「達成思考」「対人理解」などの21のコンピテンシーのいずれかにカテゴライズしている。科学技術コミュニケーターの実際の行動をインタビューから抽出し、21の代表的コンピテンシーとの共通性に着目して、科学技術コミュニケーターに特徴的なコンピテンシーの整理を進めた。
また、上記知見も踏まえ、科学技術コミュニケーターのポータルサイト『SciBaco.net』を開発・公開した。本サイトでは「知る」「ネットワーク」などの8カテゴリと、その下位の8サブカテゴリで科学技術コミュニケーターの専門性と活動方法を可視化しており、キャリアパス支援を目的とするものである。

First of all, we planned a special lecture and exercise on the epistemology of Beyesian statistics, and gave it to students of CoSTEP in Hokkaido University, where students of various fields of science learn about science communication. In this special lesson, students learned about the relationship between the background of Bayesianism and its application, Bayesian statistics through a series of lectures and map-making of it by themselves. With this practice, we revealed an applicable framework of epistemology of statistics to education. Second, we organized and conducted a symposium on statistical epistemology in CLMPST, an international conference of philosophy of science, which was held in Prague in 2019. In this symposium, we discussed particularly Bayesian epistemology and explicated a roadmap toward settlement of philosophical conflicts between Beyesianism and frequentism.

Based on this research subject, Hokkaido University CoSTEP resumed risk communication classes from fiscal 2016. 15 students from the Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering and Science and 7 from the high school teachers and private companies attended the classes. A total of 22 people attended in 3 years. The purpose of this class is to develop human resources who are responsible for risk communication. Every year in September, we visited the towns around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and conducted inspections and interviews about radiation risks. These results were reported on March 26, 2018 in Fukushima City sponsored by the Reconstruction Agency. We also presented at the 31st Japan Society for Risk Research (Fukushima meeting) on November 9, 2018 and other some meetings of the academic society of Japan. And we also published in Japanese Journal of Radiation Safety Management about the educational effects of this class.

Here, the main research results are described. Detailed reports were published on the website "Research Capability Analysis Metrics Project Report" https://www.ruconsortium.jp/site/tf/248.html). In this study, when comparing research capabilities as group performance in universities, we found that there are research capabilities that cannot be captured only by conventional indicators of "quantity" and "quality", and we defined this as "Atsumi". We proposed the institutional h5-index as one of the indicators to measure the "Atsumi" of university research capabilities. In addition, we proposed new indicators to measure internationality and indicators to measure research results in humanities and social sciences.

Since the nuclear power plant accident at Fukushima, risk communication to discuss the risk of radioactive contamination has been implemented so many times in Japan.
But many of the risk communication become only enlightening explanatory meeting. Government and stakeholders have not been able to make a two-way dialogue between the experts and citizens. To overcome this situation, the risk communicators are needed by society. Risk communicators can send accurate risk information while consideration to recipients. We think we should educate risk communicators as described below.
In this study, we revealed three skills expected by the practice from 2014 to 2015 at Hokkaido University. The first skill is to produce contents by devising for information transmission, and the second skill is to create a forum for dialogue. The third skill " Framing "is necessary to set the appropriate agenda. We came to the conclusion that these three skills are important for risk communicator education.
