Explore a recorded webinar from Kyoto University's Global Education Development Office 2021 series featuring Associate Professor Yanping Fang from Nanyang Technological University and Special Assistant Professor Linfeng Wang from the University of Fukui as they examine Japanese teacher staffrooms from an outsider's perspective. Delve into the unique characteristics of Japanese school staffrooms through a three-dimensional analysis of space, time, and tool-mediated interactions. Learn how these spaces function as strategic boundaries for role distribution and responsibility management, while also serving as expansive learning environments and "third spaces" for meaning-making. The presentation, conducted via Zoom, provides comprehensive insights into the cross-border understanding of the "Japanese-style" educational system through historical and multi-faceted approaches.
