Investigation in progress

• In collaboration with primary school teachers, establishing a general plan to have pupils distinguish between the scientific worldview and the Japanese worldview entailed by the Japanese language.
  
  
• Revealing and describing influences of the Japanized Buddhism on science education in Japan: the Japanese language mode of science education. Rem: Investigation about science education as well as science is definitely conducted scientifically, but science teaching might not be conducted scientifically.
