◆ About the university community
University Consortium Kyoto Secretariat (Deputy Secretary-General: Masaru Yoshisada)
Summary:
There are a variety of FD initiatives that can be considered. In addition to individual initiatives, inter-university collaboration, joint initiatives, and information exchange with other universities can also be expected to have a significant effect. In this training, we will consider the ideal university community as a place for collaboration from the perspective of FD through an overview of the University Consortium Kyoto, the business of the University Consortium Kyoto, the founding spirit of the university to which each participant belongs, the composition of the faculties, and the characteristics of the curriculum.

Basic Knowledge of FD: Toward Sustainable Capacity Development
Lecturer: Kenji Otono (Professor, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Kyoto Sangyo University)
Summary:
The environment surrounding FD is also changing significantly. In addition to mere educational improvements and innovations, various ways of thinking and initiatives related to higher education itself are required. In this training, students will deepen their understanding of FD by reconsidering the current environment surrounding universities, such as educational administration, from basic knowledge about FD and higher education, and deepen information exchange and mutual understanding among those involved in university education.

◆ Basic knowledge and workshops for lesson design
Lecturer: Hitomi Asada (Associate Professor, Department of Early Childhood Education, Huacho Junior College)
Lecturer: Nobuteru Okamoto (Professor, Faculty of Foreign Studies, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies)
Summary:
The syllabus plays an important role in ensuring a well-planned lesson. The items and contents that should be included in the syllabus are also diversifying. In this training, we will focus on the syllabus and consider the basic concepts and points to keep in mind regarding lesson design. In addition, through workshops, students will learn specifically about the consistency of higher-level educational policies and goals, such as curriculum policies (CPs) and diploma policies (DP), with individual subjects and classes.

The University Consortium Kyoto will hold an IR Forum in collaboration with Liacec Co., Ltd.

With the number of 18-year-olds declining and the severe environment known as the “2018 Problem,” management reform is an urgent issue for universities, and many universities are implementing a wide variety of management strategies. Similarly, in education and classes, which are the cornerstone of university management, many universities are conducting research and trial and error on how to visualize learning outcomes and how to link the data obtained from these results to class improvement.

Therefore, in this forum, Mr. Kobayashi, the editor-in-chief of “College Management” in his keynote speech and the director of the Recruit Research Institute for Academic Advancement, who is well versed in university management reform and educational reform, will talk about how to proceed with management reform through IR in the future and how important educational reform is in this context. We will introduce practical examples of management reform based on the PDCA cycle based on management data, as well as specific efforts to improve education in response to issues that have emerged from the visualization of learning outcomes. In the second half of the panel discussion, we will delve into more specific content.
