FD past and future ~Thinking about FD from various angles~

Ten years have passed since FD was made mandatory in 2007 by the University Establishment Standards. Each university has responded to the obligation by holding FD workshops and open classes, and conducting class questionnaires to improve educational capabilities. During this period, active learning has spread at an accelerated pace, and educational IR, which collects and analyzes a wide range of information related to education and learning, not limited to class questionnaires, and uses it to improve education, the three policies and quality assurance, etc. have become important themes in considering FD, and the concept of FD itself is expanding.
Therefore, in this symposium, we would like to pause and organize what kind of results have been achieved by "FD so far" and what issues remain, and to think about how to develop "FD in the future" and what kind of university education we want to achieve. To this end, we will invite four symposists to give lectures from various angles, including national and policy perspectives, international perspectives, and on-site perspectives. Through discussions among participants, I would like them to think about FD to the past and FD in the future from more diverse angles.

Evaluation
to capture higher-order abilities ~Thinking about what kind of evaluation is suitable for capturing what kind of ability, including creating issues~

Capacity: 70 (priority capacity: 40)

Recently, along with the trend of active learning, there has been a lot of discussion about how to evaluate higher-order (integrative) abilities. However, although attention is focused on evaluation criteria such as rubrics, discussions on the creation of issues to visualize the capabilities in question and the examination of their merits and weaknesses are still developing. Therefore, together with leading experts in educational evaluation in Japan higher education research, we will discuss evaluation and task creation to capture higher-order abilities.

Effects and Operational Issues through Fieldwork in Experiential and Hands-on Learning

Capacity: 70 (priority capacity: 40)

In recent years, an increasing number of universities have been offering "experiential and hands-on learning," which is a system that takes students out to the local community for education. It is said that this kind of learning leads to students learning about social issues up close and helps them think about solutions. Therefore, in this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of universities that have achieved results through "experiential and hands-on learning" and consider together with the participants how to proceed to change the level of understanding and awareness of students.

Business and Undergraduate Seminar Activities

Capacity: 30 (priority capacity: 18)

In Japan, so-called liberal arts university students often find employment at companies upon graduation. Therefore, in undergraduate education, it is necessary to provide opportunities to get an overview of business and to cultivate basic skills for working adults. There is a limit to how much these can be done in regular lecture subjects, and it is appropriate to conduct seminars that are related to the content of seminar instruction. In this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of actual seminar activities and consider their effects and possibilities.
