An online event presented by JST and APARA (Asia Pacific Assistive Robot Association), was held on 20 Oct 2022 in conjunction with Science Agora 2022
(https://www.jst.go.jp/sis/scienceagora/2022/outline.html).

This presentation coordinated efforts from 3 countries on current pedagogy, cultural differences, and common learning motivations. This collaboration aimed to achieve a common understanding of knowledge discoveries and learning behaviors.

Explore learning models ⇒ Share experiences of each country ⇒ Achieve common understanding

• Explore an adaptive learning model that transcends evolution of learning toward a “just-in-time” from the conventional “just-in-case” model, with learning flexibility and augmentation of human capabilities and potential
• Share experiences on current pedagogy, cultural differences, and common learning motivations
• Achieve a common understanding of knowledge discoveries and learning behaviors

The recording of the event is available below.
