About
Katsuhiro Ichiyanagi is a dedicated researcher in engineering education, with a particular focus on fostering scientific interest and manufacturing skills—known as *Monozukuri*—among young students. His work addresses the critical societal challenge of declining academic standards and waning enthusiasm for science, as highlighted by international assessments like PISA and TIMSS. His most cited paper, "Effect of Engineering Education by Science Classroom for High School, Junior High School and Elementary School Students" (2010, 4 citations), examines how hands-on engineering experiences can re-engage schoolchildren with STEM fields. Though his citation count is modest, Ichiyanagi’s contributions are notable for their direct impact on educational practice, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. By designing science classrooms that emphasize manufacturing and problem-solving, he has helped cultivate a new generation of learners equipped with both curiosity and technical skills. His work underscores the importance of early intervention in reversing the trend of “losing interest in science,” making him a key figure in Japan’s efforts to revitalize its engineering pipeline.
