Faculty Members of Depts. of Natural Science Education
HAYAFUJI, Yukitaka
Professor
His major is chemical education, organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. In particular, he forcuses on developments and applications of chemical subject as a material for natural product. In addition, he investigates acting mechanism and structural elucidation of antimalarial activity constituents isolated from various natural medicinal plants.
HONDA, Makoto
Professor
He majors in solid state physics and takes charge of "Special Lecture on Solid State Physics." He studies physical properties of solids by electromagnetic and spectroscopic methods. In particular, he investigates magnetic properties of impurities and defects in crystals and magnetic materials using electron spin resonance.
MUNEGUMI, Toratane
Professor
He studies on organic chemistry of biological substances including amino acids, peptides and proteins. Especially, he is investigating on reactivity, stereochemistry and optical resolution of amino acids and related substances, and systheses of peptides.
TAKEDA, Kiyoshi
Professor
He majors in physical chemistry of condensed matter. In particular, he is interested in the relationship between the molecular arrangement and molecular motion within metastable liquids and solids. He studies the relationship between dynamics and microscopic structure in supercooled liquid and non-crystalline states of simple molecular substances by means of thermodynamic and spectroscopic technique.
AWATA, Takaaki
Associate Professor
His research subject is radiation physics. His main study is exploring for interaction of radiation and materials using particle accelerator and reactor by spectroscopic methods.
KUDO, Shin-ichi
Associate Professor
He majors in behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology. He studies reproductive strategies, including parental care, and sexual selection in insects and other arthropods. His writings are "The evolutionary ecology of the relationship between parents and offspring (joint work, Hokkaido 'University Press, 1996)," and others. His papers are "Reproductive and subsocial behaviour in the ovoviviparous leaf beetle Gonioctena sibirica (Weise) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Ecol. Entomol, 20: 367-373, 1995", and so on. When giving guidance to students for their thesis, he selects themes of study from the fields of behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology while taking the independency of students into consideration, and then proceeds with such themes as joint study.
TERASHIMA, Yukio
Associate Professor
His specialties are chemical physics and science education. He mainly studies the thermal properties of solution systems using experimental methods such as thermal analysis and viscosity measurement, etc. In addition, based on the research results in specialized fields, he has developed teaching materials for observation and experiments in science, and are practicing educational activities using those teaching materials.
FUKUCHI, Rina
Lecturer
Her majors are Marine Geology, Sedimentology, Structural Geology, and Scientific Drilling. Her research combines in situ, paleotemperature, and age of subduction zones to reconstruct the evolutionary history of accretionary prisms. She also studies to explore the evolutionary and diagenetic processes in subduction zone.
KOSHIO, Chiharu
Research Associate
She majors in ethology and behavioral ecology. She is studying mating behavior and mating strategies in some diurnal moths and other insects.
SATO, Katsuyuki
Professor of Special Commission
He majors in cytology, protozoan biology and taxology. He takes charge in biological science, the science education, the theory of scientific teaching, the theory of scientific teaching materials, the history of natural science, and so on. He studies the interaction, inter-recognition and systematic evolution between the various entities of protozoan life and between their species, and further studies the preparation of educational materials of various organisms from microorganism to plants. His writings are "Biology - the mechanism of life revealed by molecules - (joint work, Asakura Publishing Co., Ltd., 1998)," and others. His papers are "The preparation of teaching materials of connection-inducing experiment using connection-inducing substances "gamon" of ciliate Euplotes (the Biological Education. 1998)," and others. When giving guidance to students for their thesis, he determines the theme of study taking the independency of students into consideration. Examples of themes are "A study on the phenomenon of ciliate's cannibalism," "A study on ciliate's inferiority due-to close sex," "The recognition degree of life appearing in the textbooks of elementary and junior high schools, in case of first grade's students of the faculty."
