Can you explain your teaching philosophy and how you adapt your methods to meet the diverse needs of university students, particularly in a Japanese academic environment? My teaching philosophy is based on the idea that “the more students understand, the more they enjoy learning.” I always keep this in mind when I teach. In Japan, as in many other countries, professors must consider diversity, including factors like gender and disability. I adapt to these evolving needs by collaborating with experts in these areas. Each university typically has specialists who assist both teachers and students in creating a more inclusive educational environment. These experiences have introduced significant changes, but I view change as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Flexibility is a key part of my resilience. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve faced various changes—such as switching majors, working with different supervisors, and transitioning between departments. While some of these changes were unexpected, I’ve successfully adapted by identifying the necessary skills and learning them. My ability to consistently deliver high-quality results shows that I’m effective at managing change and supporting diverse student needs.
