| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
米国では、新産業の創出を担うグローバルな人材育成を目指し、STEM分野における大学院教育改革が進行している。日本においてもSTEM分野における大学院教育改革の必要性が指摘され、実社会経験や起業に必要な専門的なスキルの習得を教育に取り入れることが可能と予想される。本国際共同研究では、海外研究者と連携したハイブリッド国際プログラムを実施し、日本の大学院生に米国スタイルの実践的なSTEM教育がどのように受け入れられ、将来のキャリアにどの程度影響するかについて実証と検証を行う。米国大学院の修士課程大学院生を先行実施例として解析し、日本の大学院生に適した教育モデルを提案する。

| 研究実績の概要 |
Primary Investigator (PI) was able to conduct a study in both Japan and the United States consistent with the research proposal.
As the first year of this research, the PI prepared for data collection and the design experiment to a sample of American graduate students in STEM. Research collaborators at the U.S. institution worked with her respective institution to find which cohort in a designated biotechnology program would be appropriate to conduct the study. As a result, the PI was able to execute the study between September and December 2023, measuring the students’ intercultural communication and presentation skills in Biotech. Moreover, the PI and research collaborators reached out to biotech industry to investigate which 21st century skills are important for students' career preparedness.
Additionally, the PI collaborated with another faculty member to hold workshops to faculty to collect qualitative data on their insights of providing courses about intercultural communication skills to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduate students.
Finally, the progress of the first year of study was presented at the education research conference with research collaborators. Questions from the conference attendees were useful to improve the research design including developing a model for this study and industry partnership which confirmed the direction of the study.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
As the first year of the project, the research progressed more positively than the PI originally anticipated. Working with the research collaborators in the U.S. facilitated this study to progress rather smoothly that the PI was able to secure a targeted sample and conduct the first phase of the study to American graduate students in Sciente, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
|
| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
As the second year, the PI will administer surveys and interviews to a sample of graduate students who participated in the study in year 1. The research collaborators will work with their institutions to prepare for survey administration and distribution including their respective institutional approval processes, such as Institutional Review Board (IRB). The PI plans to distribute the assessments in Fall 2024 to measure self-efficacy of soft skills toward the students’ career advancement. Additionally, the PI will conduct the same experiment to the next cohort to compare the sample group to the data collected in year 1.
