Philip MacLellan(フィリップ マクレラン)

主な研究テーマ

My research and teaching draws upon specialties in economics, educational psychology and second language acquisition as well as training in general education and Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). My research often explores how theory is realized or policy is implemented in practice, using qualitative methods to observe the complexities of these processes through case studies. My backgrounds in psychology and economics come together in the field of behavioral economics, and while this includes experimental research, my main interest is not merely predicting how humans behave or the cognitive bases for that behavior, but how individuals understand their behavior in various contexts, how they articulate their fluid and wide-ranging identities in their daily lives, and how they learn through social interaction.

講義およびゼミナールの指導方針

My lecture courses and seminars adopt a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) approach, which requires active student discussion and is a useful way for students to develop their English skills while also learning economics content. I encourage students to develop a breadth and depth of knowledge, because theories of learning suggest that this is the source of innovation and critical thinking. Further, as people learn best in social contexts, it is important to listen actively, think flexibly, communicate compassionately, and engage fully so that you can learn from the perspectives of others.
