53rd PESA Conference 2025

 I participated in and presented at the 53rd PESA Conference, held in Joondalup, a suburb of Perth, Australia, from 7–10 December 2025.

The title of my presentation was:

“Learning Without Meaning?: Phenomenological Reflections on Japanese Achievement Data and the Loss of Purpose in STEM Learning.”

Approximately twenty people attended the session, and we had a rich and engaging discussion during the Q&A.


The host university is currently constructing a new campus in the very heart of Perth’s city center. At the construction site, a large sign reads, “A place of learning like you’ve never imagined.” I felt, in that moment, the deep and quiet strength of Australia’s educational vision.
