| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Between April 2023 and March 2024 this project continued to host online journal clubs (OJCs) on researchic.com. By March 2024 a total of 23 online journal clubs had been published on the platform, and there are still 18 OJCs scheduled to take place in 2024. One conference paper and one journal article were published.

Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
It was promised that this project would create a total of 100 OJCs in the field of education science. However, the first two years' promotion only resulted in 23 published OJCs and 18 scheduled OJCs. Meanwhile, the need to evaluate OJC's effectiveness as an educational intervention is demanded to prove the value of this project. Thus, a strategic change was planned to switch from education science to STEM subjects, organize OJCs at a national STEM university in Japan, and collect data. This plan of change also delayed the project's progress.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
1) Recruit faculty members at Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) to create OJCs and involve others inside and outside TUT to participate and collect survey data from these events.
2) Utilize AI tools for the fast production of videos that can be used inside OJCs.
3) Develop a workflow integrating AI tools for educational researchers, and implement it into an OJC in researchic.com. This course will serve as an intervention to be tested and evaluated.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The incurring amount will be used for payment to participating faculty members, and subscription fees of AI tools.
