Call for Participants for the 20th Kyoto High School and University Faculty and Staff Exchange Meeting

The 20th Kyoto High School and University Faculty and Staff Exchange Meeting

“Learning Stories of Inquiry-based Learning”
How does inquiry-based learning affect career development?
~Exploring the Relationship Between Career Choices from the Practice of Inquiry-based Learning~

How does inquiry-based learning, including “time for comprehensive inquiry,” affect learning from high school to university? From the perspective of high school-university connections, how should inquiry-based learning be designed? Also, how should we think about the back and forth between the time of inquiry and comprehensive inquiry in the subject? In addition, not only high school teachers but also university faculty and staff will interact and exchange opinions on what the role of high school teachers should be.

In the 20th session, we will share issues and exchange opinions on the relationship between inquiry-based learning and career development, and consider how inquiry-based learning relates to university admission and career choices.
We will receive case reports on the relationship between career choices and academic improvement through inquiry-based learning from university students who are taking on various challenges through inquiry-based learning, including Mr. Sakai of Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School.
This will be a valuable opportunity for participants from various positions to exchange opinions and information, so please join us.

We look forward to your active participation.
