【Event Report】The 18th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum
This year marks the 18th anniversary of the National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum, which aims to exchange information on the initiatives and research results of each university consortium in order to contribute to the development of higher education.
This year’s event was held entirely online (Zoom) for the first time, with the main theme of “Rethinking and Reviving the University Consortium ~What Possibilities the University Consortium Can Open Up in the New Normal Era~”.
Continuing from last year, 476 university faculty members and educators from all over Japan participated in the event of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and through keynote speeches, case reports and exchanges of opinions at breakout sessions, it was an opportunity to exchange information on the state of the “Consortium of Universities” once again.
Part 1: In the keynote speech “Rethinking and Reviving University Management through Management Reform,” Mr. Toshimitsu Oishi (President and President, Osaka Electro-Communication University) took the stage.

In the online presentation of the [Poster Session], 10 member organizations of the National University Consortium Council made presentations. Many questions and comments were raised by the participants about the efforts of each consortium organization, and there were scenes of active interaction between exhibitors and participants.
In the subcommittees, there will be discussions on “Verification of FD and SD Projects in University Consortiums and Toward the Future ~Thinking about FD and SD Required in the Future in University Reform~” (Subcommittee 1: in charge of the Minami-Osaka Regional University Consortium), and “Internships from the University Consortium ~From the case of Kyoto~” (Subcommittee 2: University Consortium in charge of Kyoto), “The state of career education from the perspective of 10 years from now ~Connecting new educational practices of the Corona disaster to the future~” (Subcommittee 3: University Consortium Osaka, a specified non-profit organization), Rethinking the activities and organizations of the University Consortium ~ Considering the ideal form of better collaboration and organization for the development of universities and regions in the era of the new normal ~ Part 3” (Subcommittee 4: in charge of the Steering Committee of the National University Consortium Council) and four subcommittees dealing with various themes of high interest to university educators. Practical case reports and exchanges of opinions with participants were held.

【Internship】 【Event Report】Practical Training Experience Exchange Meeting (Business Course/Public Course)
As a post-learning for the Business Course and Public Course, we held a “Practical Experience Exchange Meeting”.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
The real pleasure of the University Consortium Kyoto Internship Program is that students who have completed their practical training at various host sites can gather and share their experiences.
The awareness that all the students Mr./Ms. gained from their experiences over the summer and their growth from reflection were very well conveyed from the screen.
I hope you will make use of this valuable experience in your future university life.
We would like to express our gratitude once again to the host companies who prepared the program for the growth of the students despite the many restrictions this year.
We will continue to work toward the development of internship programs that we will work on at “All Kyoto”.

【For high school and university faculty and staff】”The 10th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” August 29 (Sun) Call for Participants
The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their founders can share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve problems.
The 10th meeting will be held as follows.
In recent years, terms and concepts such as active learning, proactive, interactive, and deep learning, inquiry, and synthesis have been presented in search of a better way of learning, and specific ways of doing so are being explored.
This time, as a basic part of learner-centered question-making, we will provide an opportunity for participants to create questions and engage in dialogue with each other about “better learning” through a question-making method experience workshop such as QFT (Question Formulation Technique).
We would like you to conduct a meta-analysis of the learning effects of each process and facilitation of QFT, and obtain a concrete image and action plan for using it in your school’s organizational development and classroom practice.
We look forward to your active participation.

Psychology of Consumer Behavior: Aiming for “Self-Understanding” to Protect Consumer Interests
A psychological understanding of consumer behavior is an important topic for companies, and methods based on psychological theories are often used in sales promotion activities. This has led to a number of cases in which consumers have a “misunderstanding” regarding the evaluation of products and services, resulting in disadvantages as a result. In this course, we will explain advertising strategies and in-store sales promotion activities based on the theories of psychology and behavioral economics. We want to contribute to consumer protection by promoting objective self-understanding of consumers.
