Self-introduction

Date:  Oct 2^nd, 2017
Hello!

My name is CHEA Soth, you can call me Soth, from Cambodia. I work as a mathematics educator at Phnom Penh Regional Teacher Training Center (PPRTTC) where this center will be upgraded to Teacher Education College (TEC) by 2018. I am 34 years old, and I am married with two children.

I am a scholarship master student under JICA long-term program called Knowledge Co-Creation Program (KCCP) with majoring in mathematics education. My research topic is " The Levels of Thinking Skills: A comparative studies of Cambodian and Mathematics Textbook" and my academic supervisor is professor BABA Tukuya.

It is my first time to be here, in Japan and I feel like everything here is different from my country. People here are more attractive and respectable. I cordially welcomed from people here, especially my senior in lab Baba sansei. Moreover, I noticed that people who drive cars or big vehicles also give priorities to those who ride bicycles or walk, but in my country, walkers and riders have to be very careful with the cars or trucks as the big vehicles are more prior. By the way, when I ride the bicycle to school, I really miss my high school life almost twenty years ago. I have never ridded it since I finished high school, so It seems like I am turning to my high school life.

Finally, I would like to thank to BABA sansei, a dean of International Development and Cooperation (IDEC) department, who offer me a chance to be here and accepted me to be his supervisee. I would also thank to Putra san, who has guided me since my first day in Japan, and also thank to all seniors master and doctorial students who offer me a warm welcome into Baba lab. I am very happy to know all of you and hope to learn more from you to broaden my horizon. Thank you for warm welcome again! 

Sincerely;

Soth Chea
