Monoxer's Official Podcast 'Learning to Teach Radio' Season 2 Features Teacher Yoshikane Kano from Hosen Gakuen Elementary School

Monoxer, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Directors: Kotaro Takeuchi, Keisuke Kuroyanagi), which provides the memory platform 'Monoxer', will release a new episode of its official Podcast program 'Learning to Teach Radio' featuring Mr. Yoshikane Kano, a teacher at Hosen Gakuen Elementary School, starting Monday, April 6, 2026. This program invites practitioners and researchers standing at the forefront of 'teaching' at schools and universities as guests, to think about the nature of learning and the role of education through dialogue. How is the act of 'teaching' in schools and other settings being redefined today? Is it about conveying knowledge, indicating correct answers and goals, or supporting the foundation for continuous learning? Against the backdrop of digitalization, the advancement of generative AI, and changes in university entrance exam systems, the premises surrounding education are currently shaking significantly. The question of 'whether conventional teaching methods are still adequate' is quietly emerging both inside and outside the field. In Season 2, against the backdrop of these changes, we will re-examine the act of 'teaching'. Rather than reducing education to individual efforts and ingenuity, we will consider it through dialogue as a theme for society as a whole, traversing schools, universities, and industries. The new episode starting on April 6 will welcome Mr. Yoshikane Kano, a teacher at Hosen Gakuen Elementary School, as a guest. As a practitioner of science education, Mr. Kano emphasizes 'Learning by Doing' and pursues learning where children deepen their understanding while actually trying and verifying things. In recent years, the situation of 'knowing but not understanding' is often pointed out in educational settings. It is a state where children can solve questions as problems, but knowledge is handled without them ever seeing the actual phenomenon or it being connected to experience. In the field of AI research, this phenomenon is known as the 'Symbol Grounding Problem', and it has been debated as an issue where words and knowledge are handled without being connected to actual experience. In this episode, using this awareness of the issue as a clue, we will discuss how to connect experience and knowledge through the practice of science education. How is the quality of children's experiences changing in a convenient society, and what role can school education play? We will delve into what learning should look like in the future, including concrete practices for creating science classes. A practitioner who challenges the philosophy of Shigeru Kuriyama, the second principal of the school and a master of science education, that 'Education is not about teaching or making them learn, but supporting learning', and pursues learning that children become absorbed in. In 2018, he launched '192Cafe', a private elementary school community themed 'Future Learning'. Author of 'Elementary School Science: How to Create Exploratory Learning' (Meiji Tosho) and many others.
