Self Introduction

My name is Dini Asri Kusnia Dewi, but people used to call me Diaz. I was born and raised in Bandung, Indonesia. From childhood, I never go to school through a highway that has a traffic lights. But for the first time I went to a school far from home, I literally penetrated the sky to cross the oceans and the country.

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 

Meina Berlianti

Hello guys, my name is Meina Berlianti, just call me Meina. I am from Banjarnegara, small city in Central Java, Indonesia. In 2006, I moved to Yogyakarta to continue my bachelor degree. I took Mathematics Education in Yogyakarta State University. Since 2011, I worked at Budi Mulia Dua Junior High School as a mathematics teacher. Then in 2016, I moved to Japan to continue my master degree in Hiroshima University. I am interested to research about improving students’ understanding on linear equation.

By the way, it is my first time coming to Japan. I arrived in Japan on September 24, 2016. I landed in Osaka airport. Fortunately, the temperature was not different with Indonesia at that time, it is quite warm. As you know that Indonesia is a tropical country. It is always hot there almost for a whole year.

The next thing that I notice about Japan is the traffic situation. There are so many people ride the bicycle here. Almost every person in Japan has their own bicycle. I was really surprised because not so many people in Indonesia ride a bicycle on the street. Most of us only rides a bicycle during weekend for hobby or exercising. One of my friends, said to me that “the one who rides bicycle is a king”. Then, I realized that it is true. Most of car driver and motor cycle driver always give priority to the bicycle rider here. You will never get this priority in Indonesia. I know it is bad but I have to admit it. In Indonesia, the one who drive the biggest or the most luxurious car is the king.  

We would have a guest lecture by Professor Zhang Qiaoping from The Chinese University of Hongkong on June.

The Title of the presentation is "Effective Teaching in Mathematics Education: How
affects influence teachers' teaching?".

The lecture will be held on:
Day, Date: Wednesday, 7th June 2017
Time : 09:00-10:30 AM
Venue: 806, IDEC Hiroshima University

Thank you.
