【For faculty and staff】 FD Joint Training Program / Thematic Training
1st "FD Basic Knowledge" Registration is now open

 

The FD Joint Training Program and Thematic Training is a small-group training program aimed at acquiring skills such as basic knowledge of FD, creation of syllabi, lesson design and practice, active learning, and grading for newly appointed teachers, teachers who want to relearn the basics of FD, faculty members who are interested in FD, and staff working in FD-related departments. In fiscal 2021, a total of six sessions will be held online (Zoom).
The first "FD Basic Knowledge" will be held as follows.

This training is mainly for FD beginners. I have in mind those who are interested in FD but don't know where to start. In this program, participants will first receive information about FD training opportunities provided by the University Consortium Kyoto and the Foundation. Next, we will confirm the basic knowledge about FD. One of the essential elements of FD is dialogue between faculty and students. In this training, based on the confirmation of basic knowledge of FD, students will learn the basic knowledge (significance of the syllabus and how to describe it, etc.), which is the first step in dialogue between faculty and students.

We look forward to receiving applications from many of you.

Date: September 7 (Tue) 18:00~20:30

 Target: University and junior college faculty and staff * Not only faculty members, but also staff
        
who are interested in FD are eligible.

 Format: Online (Zoom webinar)

【For faculty and staff】2021 Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting "How
to teach for post-corona" ~ The 1st "Hybrid class (?)" ~ 

The 2021 Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting will be held three times under the unified theme of "How to Teach for Post-Corona."

In fiscal 2020, due to the Corona disaster, online classes were held at many universities and junior colleges.
Even in the future post-corona era, it is expected that classes using online tools will continue to be required.

Therefore, in the first session, under the theme of "hybrid classes (?)", we will consider the combination of face-to-face classes and online classes.
Four universities will report on the online classes currently being implemented, and then the presenters and participants will share information and exchange opinions on how to implement hybrid classes, advantages and disadvantages, and future lesson design concepts, which will be required in the post-corona era.

Why don't you work with faculty and staff from other universities to think about "how classes should be for the post-coronavirus" beyond the boundaries of universities?
This is not a "workshop" but an "exchange meeting", so please feel free to join us.

Target: University / Junior College Faculty and Staff * Limited to those who can use Zoom.

The 2nd Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting

The 2nd Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting was held on November 13.

 

For the second meeting, the main theme was "Thinking about Learning Achievement," and after Ryuko Sato, a member of the Kyoto FD Planning and Research Committee of the University Consortium, gave a presentation on the topic of "learning achievement." In the individual work, participants wrote down their own subjects, the status of their university's initiatives, and their problems on worksheets, shared them within the group, and then further exchanged opinions with the whole group.

   
 
On the day of the event, 23 university faculty members and staff members participated. In the participant questionnaire after the end, 100% of the respondents answered "satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied," just like the previous first survey. Participants commented, "I was able to get hints that I can use for tomorrow's initiatives," and "I was able to learn about examples of initiatives at other universities, as well as what other universities are struggling with, and I was able to learn a lot."
