The 16th Kyoto High School and University Teachers' Exchange Meeting

How do students who have experienced exploration grow at university?

Overview of the business

In order to contribute to the development of higher education, we exchange information on the efforts of each university consortium and research results.

Outline of the event

Theme

Aiming for the Enrichment of Higher Education and the Development of Local Communities
~Exploring the Infinite Possibilities of University Consortiums~

Purpose
of the tournament
The reconstruction of higher education and contributions to local communities through industry-academia-government collaboration as indicated in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Grand Design for Higher Education toward 2040" are the very themes that "Gakuen City Hachioji" has been working on for about half a century. As universities and other institutions return to the city center and a new campus image accompanying the shift to online due to the coronavirus pandemic is being considered, we would like to review the characteristics of "suburban campuses" that are different from "urban campuses" and the value of "university consortiums," and make this a place for people nationwide to think about the direction that the projects implemented by the university consortium should aim for and the means to achieve them.

Would you like to

Subcommittee 1 "Trials and Issues for Human Resource Development for Regional Revitalization"
(Contact: Academic, Cultural and Industrial Network Tama)
"Regional revitalization" is being tackled by the public and private sectors. But the results remain generally poor. I wonder why. One of the most important strategies for creating regional attractiveness is "human resource development," but it is necessary to thoroughly examine whether it is being realized. Including the items discussed by the Keidanren subcommittee, we will consider the possibilities and challenges of a business plan that makes full use of people, goods, money, and IT that takes advantage of the strengths of industry-academia-government collaboration pioneering at Network Tama.

Teachers from a consortium that encompasses a variety of school types and faculties took up a variety of themes. In addition to reviewing the project, we will consider how inter-university collaboration should be in the university consortium and how to develop business results.

【Mainly for high school teachers】Call for participants for the 14th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting on Saturday, October 15

The Kyoto High School Teachers' Exchange Meeting is a place where people can share ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve them, regardless of the school or the person who established it.

The 14th meeting will be held as follows.

The 14th Kyoto High School Teachers' Exchange Meeting

What is the role of the teacher in the time of comprehensive inquiry
?―How does inquiry change the identity of the teacher?―

How should we design inquiry-based learning, including "time for comprehensive inquiry"?
What should be the role of teachers in exploratory activities?
How should inquiry learning be evaluated?

While the new Course of Study is fully implemented in all high schools, we will exchange opinions and exchange opinions based on various case reports so that we can learn about the efforts of inquiry and utilize them in the curriculum design of each high school.
With the keywords of "individualized optimal learning," "companion," and "evaluation," participants will share issues, deepen exchanges, and think about how inquiry will change the career identity of faculty members.

Following the 13th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting held in July, this is the second installment of the same theme with different presenters.

We look forward to your active participation.

Overview of the business

　As the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, the English proficiency of university faculty and staff members is indispensable as a basic ability.
In addition, international students from many countries and regions have their own cultural backgrounds, and in order to communicate smoothly, it is essential to understand customs, social norms, religions, etc. beyond language.
For this reason, the University Consortium Kyoto aims to raise the level of practical skills and increase motivation to improve skills by conducting training to improve English proficiency that allows case studies assuming various situations and training to learn about cultures outside the English-speaking world.

【Mainly for high school teachers】Call for participants for the 13th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting on Saturday, July 9

The Kyoto High School Teachers' Exchange Meeting is a place where people can share ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve them, regardless of the school or the person who established it.

The 13th meeting will be held as follows.

The 13th Kyoto High School Teachers' Exchange Meeting

What is the role of the teacher in the time of comprehensive inquiry
?―How does inquiry change the identity of the teacher?―

How should we design inquiry-based learning, including "time for comprehensive inquiry"?
What should be the role of teachers in exploratory activities?
How should inquiry learning be evaluated?

While the new Course of Study is fully implemented in all high schools, we will exchange opinions and exchange opinions based on various case reports so that we can learn about the efforts of inquiry and utilize them in the curriculum design of each high school.
With the keywords of "individualized optimal learning," "companion," and "evaluation," participants will share issues, deepen exchanges, and think about how inquiry will change the career identity of faculty members.

We look forward to your active participation.
