【For High School Teachers】Call for Participants for the 6th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting on Thursday, August 6

The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their founders can share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve problems.

The 6th meeting will be held as follows.

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, some schools have started online classes, but few schools are offering interactive remote classes. Active Learning (hereinafter referred to as “AL”), which is recommended to be introduced in the new Course of Study. It is difficult to achieve this in online classes, and the development of such a method is desired.
Therefore, in a limited ICT environment, we will share how to realize AL instead of just one-sidedly transferring knowledge by using online.
In addition, we will use this as an opportunity to sort out the differences between the academic skills that can only be acquired through online AL and those that can only be acquired through face-to-face AL, and to explore hints on how to use online classes and face-to-face classes according to their goals.

We understand that this is a busy time, but we look forward to your active participation. I would also be grateful if you could reach out to the teachers you know.

Isn’t it important for high school and university students to acquire the skills and mindset to design and practice learning spaces where learners can ask their own questions and delve into those questions while learning from others?
It is also important for us as teachers to be able to learn, understand, and use new ways of learning to identify issues.
Therefore, this time, we aim to cultivate the ability to find problems in inquiry-based learning and comprehensive learning while interacting with each other in a group work format.

【For High School Teachers】”The 4th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” November 7 (Thu) Call for Participants

The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their establishments to exchange ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and share their thoughts on solutions.
The 4th meeting will be held as follows.
In the fourth session, we will discuss and interact with students about the creation of lessons, the development of teaching materials, and their evaluation, centered on the theme of exploration of science and mathematics.
In the 2020 revision of the Course of Study, a new course of “Exploration of Science and Mathematics” was established with the aim of “fostering creative human resources who can bring about the creation of knowledge through academic research in the future.” In implementing this new course, some high schools are worried about issues such as the selection of research themes and the development of a teaching system, and there is a need to respond to them. Many high schools that struggle with the selection of research topics in mathematics, especially mathematics, may not be able to systematically organize why it is difficult. In addition, from the perspective of improving the quality of inquiry, there is a shortage of fellow faculty members who can study and evaluate the selection of research themes and consider them together. There may be a possibility that hints can be obtained from practical case reports on exploration themes that have already been implemented in advance, as well as from individual exploration tasks for exploration activities such as SSH.
In addition to sharing current issues, we would like to provide a place for high school and university teachers to collaborate to find hints for solving these problems and to think about the meaning of mathematical exploration.
　
We understand that this is a busy time, but we look forward to your active participation. I would also be grateful if you could reach out to the teachers you know.
