2021 Fiscal Year Research-status Report

Pairing Edutainment with Skills will Improve STEM Education Engagement

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

I have identified and acquired a range of audio/video equipment for making educational videos and learned how to use them to produce high-quality videos.
I have uploaded these videos and made a YouTube video that has already far surpassed my previous attempts at making educational videos without this equipment. I am currently in the process of creating a library of paired edutainment and educational videos. I am currently in the process of preparing my first publication on the epistemology of the Avogadro number. I have produced 12 videos, with a total run time of three hours and twenty minutes. These videos have so far received nearly 1000 views. The preliminary conclusion, after 1 year, is that this project strategy is highly successful. I am currently producing a video every two weeks.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

This work is progressing as expected. I am producing videos according to my planned schedule and the channel is steadily growing.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

I intend to recruit students to help me with this work. This should enable me to get a variety of young perspectives on content and effective use of social media. I also intend to contact the science communication group at Kyushu University.

Causes of Carryover

I need to buy extra equipment, such as lens filters, batteries and lenses.
I intend to travel to at least one domestic conference, and hopefully to an international conference as well.
The videos also involve consumable expenses, such as costumes and props.

Remarks

These are five of my videos from my video channel. The Channel Page itself can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXayhlRaDUhfJOtuSLgz-7w/featured
Also a Twitter account and a Facebook page.
