井庭崇のConcept Walk

今年の夏休み期間中に、以下の「特別研究プロジェクト」を実施します。夏季期間集中の研究プロジェクト科目（２単位）としての正式な開講です。なお、2010年春学期／秋学期の井庭研究会履修者以外の参加も歓迎です。

特別研究プロジェクト（井庭 崇）シラバス
「Creative Systems Lab（特別編）：『学習パターン』英語版の制作」

■ 実施期間
2010年9月6日（月）〜13日（月）

■ 参加エントリー
7月19日(月)までに、後述のエントリー情報をメールで提出してください。


■ 目的・内容
本特別研究プロジェクトでは、全体性をうまく取り込んだ問題解決／デザインのコツを記述するための「パターン・ランゲージ」の方法論と思想を踏まえ、実際にひとつのパターン・ランゲージの記述に取り組みます。今回制作するのは、「SFCらしい学びのデザイン」を支援するためのパターン・ランゲージである「学習パターン」（Learning Patterns）の英語版です。この英語版制作では、日本語版を単に英訳するというレベルではなく、自然な言葉や言い回し、共感を生みやすい書き方になるような意訳が必要となります。また、パターン・ランゲージとしての記述のクオリティを上げるため、建築や組織論における先行事例を読み込み、その記述を参考にしながら制作していきます。

■ 履修条件
1. 英語である程度の読み書きができること。
2. 事前課題（あらかじめ文献を読んで内容をまとめるというもの。詳細はエントリー者にお伝えします）を９月上旬の指定期日までに提出すること。

■評価方法
制作活動における参加・貢献の度合い、および、プロジェクト終了時の振り返りのレポートから評価します。

■ 予定受け入れ人数
10人程度

■ 参加エントリー
履修希望者は、7月19日(月)までに、以下の情報をメールで担当教員 井庭 崇（iba [atmark] sfc.keio.ac.jp）宛に送ってください。秋学期の井庭研にもエントリーする人は、それぞれのエントリーを別メールで提出してください。大学院生など正規履修できない場合でも、その旨を明記し、同様にエントリーしてください。

1. 名前（＋ふりがな）
2. メールアドレス
3. 学部・学年
4. 英語力のレベルについて
5. 自己紹介

メール件名：特別研究プロジェクトエントリー（姓名）

Here we show the information about our research themes and how to apply to Iba Lab, fall semester, 2010.

The syllabus for the seminar (Prof. T. Iba: Fall Semester, 2010)
"Creative Systems Lab: Pattern Languages, Dynamic Network Analysis, and Orality Learning"
(Type A: 5th period, on Tuesday & Thursday)

Important Dates
Orientation for applicants: 5th period in July 8, 2010 (at e12) & 5th period in July 13, 2010 (at k12).
Application Deadline: July 19 (Mon.), 2010
Interview: July 26 & 27, 2010


Mission
Our mission is to create new methods and tools for the future society, based on the latest systems theories and academic methodologies. Note that the systems theories are meant here to "complex systems" and "autopoiesis," and the methodologies are network analysis, pattern languages, and modeling simulations.

We are conducting three research projects in the fall semester as follows.

1. "Creative Media" Project
2. "Mapping the Dynamics" Project
3. "The Way of Generative Communication" Project

Applicants will participate in one of these projects, or launch their own project related to our research theme.

1. "Creative Media" Project
("Creation" * Pattern Languages -> Media Design)
This project explores new methods and tools for supporting "creation" with pattern languages.

2. "Mapping the Dynamics" Project
("Space-Time" * Network Analysis -> Visualization)
This project explores new methods and tools for understanding the dynamic changing systems with using network analysis.

3. "The Way of Generative Communication" Project
("Generation" * Pattern Analysis -> Orality)
This project explores new methods and tools for learning a foregin language in terms of "orality" rather than "literacy."
