Symposium [March 3 (Sat) 13:00~17:00]

The past and future of FDs ~Thinking about FDs from various angles~

It has been 10 years since FD became mandatory in 2007 under the Standards for the Establishment of Universities. Each university has responded to the mandatory implementation by conducting FD workshops, open classes, and conducting class surveys, and has made efforts to improve educational capabilities. In the meantime, active learning has spread at an accelerated pace, and the concept of FD itself has also become an important theme in thinking about FD, such as educational IR, which collects and analyzes a wide range of information related to education and learning and uses it to improve education, and the three policies and quality assurance, and the concept of FD itself is expanding.
Therefore, in this symposium, I would like to pause for a moment and sort out what kind of results have been produced by the “FD” so far, what issues remain, and how to develop the “FD of the future” and what kind of university education we are trying to achieve. To this end, four sympositors will be invited to give lectures from a variety of angles, including national and policy perspectives, international perspectives, and on-the-ground perspectives. Through discussions among the participants, I would like them to think about FDs in the past and FDs in the future from a variety of angles.

number 2 minutes department meeting	What’s going on? What are you going to do? Evaluation of each lab – Nursing Training, Welfare Training, Education Training, Qualification Training- Capacity: 100 people (priority capacity: 60 people) We will reconsider how universities should interpret and evaluate the evaluation of practical training in nursing, welfare, education, and (qualifications). In practical training, there are various evaluation methods, such as the university presenting the evaluation point of view, and the training destination preparing the point of view. In this subcommittee, we will consider how the university should handle the evaluations returned from the training sites, how to provide feedback to the students, and how to make them the final evaluation. ≪ Reporter≫ Masanobu Yamakawa (President, Takarazuka University) Yuji Okazaki (Dean/Professor, Faculty of Social Welfare, Bukkyo University) Mitsunori Tanizuka (Associate Professor, Department of Education, Faculty of Science, Shinshu University) ≪ Coordinator≫ Toyosei Hirata (Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Bukkyo University)
number 3 minutes department meeting	Perspectives on Liberal Arts Education Capacity: 100 people (priority capacity: 60 people) This subcommittee will discuss the challenges and prospects facing liberal arts education in higher education today from a variety of perspectives. The liberal arts in higher education today have become ambiguous in this sense. In light of this current situation, the purpose of this subcommittee is to discuss a wide range of issues facing liberal arts education and various issues occurring in the field of education, and to explore the ideal form of liberal arts education from multiple perspectives. ≪ Reporter≫ Dr. Katsuhiko Mori (Dean/Professor, Department of Arts and Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, International Christian University) Masao Murota (Professor, Deputy Dean/Professor, Institute for Liberal Arts, Tokyo Institute of Technology) Satoshi Shirai (Lecturer, Department of Humanities, Faculty of Humanities, Kyoto Seika University) ≪ Coordinator≫ Jun Okawa (Lecturer, Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Humanities and Humanities, Kyoto Notre Dame University)
number 4 minutes department meeting	Design and operation of cross-sectional programs that cultivate scientific literacy -Topics of Statistics Education, Integrated Science Experiments, and Practical Exchange Site Model- Capacity: 100 people (priority capacity: 60 people) We will report on the design and operation of “cross-departmental STEM education” and “accumulation and exchange of TIPS in classes” that emerged at the previous FD Forum subcommittee, and plan a floor discussion. I would like to discuss cross-sectional STEM education based on the design of “statistics” education, which is the basis of science literacy, and “fusion science experiments,” which is experiential mathematics education. In addition, we would like to discuss the accumulation and sharing of TIPS through the proposal of an exchange site model for STEM education practices. ≪ Reporter≫ Jun Saito (Lecturer, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Agriculture) Norihiro Nakamura (Professor, Organization for Advanced Liberal Arts Education and Student Services, Tohoku University) Hiroshi Sukuhisa (Professor, Faculty of Culture and Information Studies, Doshisha University) ≪ Coordinator≫ Yoshio Ueno (Professor, Department of Basic Sciences, Kyoto University of Pharmaceutical Sciences)
number 5 minutes department meeting	Assessments to capture higher-order abilities ~Thinking about what kind of evaluation is suitable for capturing what kind of ability, including creating tasks~ Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people) In recent years, along with the trend of active learning, there has been a lot of discussion about methods for assessing higher-order (integrative) abilities. However, although attention has been focused on evaluation criteria such as rubrics, discussions on the creation of tasks to visualize such capabilities and the examination of their merits and demerits are still in the process of development. Therefore, together with leading experts in educational evaluation in higher education research in Japan, we will discuss evaluation and task development to grasp higher-order abilities. ≪ Reporter≫ Yusaku Otsuka (Deputy Director, National Center for University Entrance Examinations) Kayo Matsushita (Professor, Center for Research and Development in Higher Education, Kyoto University) ≪ Coordinator and Rapporteur≫ Yugo Saito (Assistant Professor, Center for Research and Development in Higher Education, Kyoto University)
number 6 minutes department meeting	Effects of Fieldwork in Experiential and Practical Learning and Operational Issues Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people) In recent years, an increasing number of universities have been implementing “experiential and hands-on learning,” which is a system that takes students out to local communities for education. It is said that this kind of learning leads to students becoming familiar with issues in society and helps them to think about solutions. Therefore, in this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of universities that have achieved results through “experiential and practical learning” and consider with the participants how to proceed to change the level of understanding and awareness of students. ≪ Reporter≫ Asako Kihara (Associate Professor, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Kyoto Sangyo University) Yusuke Toyoda (Associate Professor, Faculty of Policy Science, Ritsumeikan University) ≪ Coordinator and Rapporteur≫ Tsutomu Hayama (Professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Design, Kyoto Seika University) ≪ Coordinator≫ Kojiro Michiwa (Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Kyoto Gakuen University)
number 7 minutes department meeting	Information Security Education ―As a liberal arts education, as a specialized education― Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people) We will receive a report from Kyoto Institute of Technology, which has been offering “Information Security and Information Ethics” for 15 years, and then from Ritsumeikan University and Kyoto Sangyo University on information security education as a specialized education.

After the lecture, participants in the subcommittee will discuss the learning and educational achievement goals of information security education. ≪ Reporter≫ Hideo Masuda (Professor, Department of Information Engineering and Human Sciences/Center for Information Science, Kyoto Institute of Technology) Tetsutaro Uehara (Professor, Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Ritsumeikan University) Toyokazu Akiyama (Associate Professor, Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, Kyoto Sangyo University) Toshihiro Hirayama (Chairman, Education Subcommittee, NPO Japan Network Security Association (JNSA)) ≪ Coordinator≫ Kazuhiro Fujita (Professor, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Ryukoku University)
number 8 minutes department meeting	What is the “exit” of a university?: Liberal Arts, Citizenship, Career, and Human Education Capacity: 60 people (priority capacity: 35 people) What exactly is the “exit” of the university, such as liberal arts education, citizenship education, career education, and human education, which each of them envisions? What is or should be beyond the university? We would like to examine the “exits” of higher education from various perspectives and reconsider the role of university education and teachers in modern society. ≪ Reporter≫ Mr. Tadahiko Yasuhiko (Distinguished Visiting Professor, Kanagawa University (Former Member of the Central Council of Education)) Hideaki Kodama (Specially Appointed Associate Professor, Center for High School-University Connections and Entrance Examinations, Shiga University) Noriaki Yamashita (Professor, Department of Sociology, Faculty of Letters, Otani University) ≪ Contributors≫ Yuhei Sawada (Student, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, Kyoto Prefectural University) ≪ Coordinator≫ Yoshitaka Fujita (Associate Professor, Department of Intercultural Studies, Faculty of Letters, Otani University)
number 9 minutes department meeting	Organizational operation and practice of PBL Capacity: 60 people (priority capacity: 35 people) Project-based learning (PBL) is increasingly being practiced in universities. Due to the spread of this system, it is becoming necessary not only to teach a single class, but also to design, manage, and practice it systematically. Therefore, in this subcommittee, we will introduce case studies from faculties and universities that are systematically operating PBL, discuss how to proceed, and share information. ≪ Reporter≫ Toshihiko Hamada (Professor, Faculty of Economics, Hiroshima University of Economics / Director, Kodokan Subject Creation Center / Director, Education and Learning Support Center) Yusuke Ibuki (Associate Professor, Faculty of Business Administration, Kyoto Sangyo University) Dr. Muneyoshi Iyoda (Lecturer, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Osaka Institute of Technology) ≪ Coordinator≫ Masayuki Murakami (Professor, Faculty of Foreign Studies, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies)
number 10 minutes department meeting	The Future of Regional Qualification Education Programs and Regional Cooperation Capacity: 60 people (priority capacity: 35 people) In collaboration with nine universities in Kyoto Prefecture, we have developed and operate a regional qualification system called “Beginner Regional Public Policy Specialist”. In this subcommittee, we will report and share case studies of regional qualification education programs by partner universities, especially active learning subjects, and discuss the issues faced by regional qualification education programs and future directions. In addition, based on the results of this qualification education program in addressing the needs of local frontlines, I would like to discuss the role that universities should play in regional collaboration. ≪ Reporter≫ Katsutaka Shiraishi (Professor, Faculty of Policy Studies, Ryukoku University / Director, Center for Regional Collaboration) Maki Mabukuro (Asago City Mayor’s Office, Asago Life Support Division, Asago Human Resource Creation Section Chief) Taishi Nagamitsu (Chief Coordinator, Faculty of Sociology, Bukkyo University) ≪ Coordinator≫ Shinichi Yamamoto (Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, Kyoto Bunkyo University)
number 11 minutes department meeting	Thinking about Student Performance Evaluation: Focusing on Engineering and Pharmacy Education Capacity: 40 people (priority capacity: 24 people) Among the evaluation of student performance, we will consider how to evaluate communication skills and ethics, among others. Specifically, we will report on performance evaluation from the perspective of engineering education for engineer training, and evaluation efforts from the perspective of pharmacy education for pharmacist training. Based on the two reports, the designated discussants will comment on ethical education in the context of higher education and the measurement of educational effectiveness from a philosophical perspective. In the afternoon, a workshop on performance evaluation will be held based on the discussions in the morning, and discussions will be deepened with the participants. ≪ Reporter≫ Ms. Satoko Fukabori (Director, Department of Higher Education Research, National Institute for Educational Policy Research) Kensuke Hasumoto (Associate Professor, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Ritsumeikan University) ≪Designated Discussant≫ Kazutaka Tanaka (Lecturer, College of Liberal Arts, Oberlin University) ≪ Coordinator and Rapporteur≫ Ms. Tomoko Torii (Professor, Institute for the Promotion of Educational Development, Ritsumeikan University / Deputy Director, University Evaluation Office)
number 12 minutes department meeting	Business and Undergraduate Seminar Activities Capacity: 30 people (priority capacity: 18 people) In Japan, so-called liberal arts university students often find employment at companies upon graduation. For this reason, it is also necessary to provide opportunities for undergraduate education to provide an overview of business and to cultivate basic skills for working adults. There is a limit to what can be done in ordinary lecture subjects, and it is appropriate to conduct those related to the content of the seminar (seminar) through the seminar. In this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of actual seminar activities and consider their effects and possibilities. ≪ Reporter≫ Tomohiro Seki (Associate Professor, Faculty of Commerce, Doshisha University) Hideo Okamura (Professor, Faculty of Commerce, Kwansei Gakuin University) Fumio Akiyoshi (Associate Professor, Faculty of Economics, Kwansei Gakuin University) ≪ Coordinator and Rapporteur≫ Mitsuo Adachi (Professor, Faculty of Policy Studies, Doshisha University)

“The name of the house” “Goyalina and Mr./Ms. Reef”

Title of the work	Director’s Name	synopsis
“The name of the house” (Anime / 4 min.)	Nao Sakagami	That’s where my grandparents, my parents, and I used to live. Even if we have forgotten distant memories and emotions, they are certainly present and will continue to be.
“Goyalina and Mr./Ms. Reef” (Anime / 8 min.)	Aika Oshiro	This anime was created for the purpose of environmental education for children. The content is about Goyalina, a piglet who dreams of being a ballerina and always wears a slice of bitter gourd, learning about coral reefs. We expressed in a musical style that coral is a living creature, and that Mr./Ms.’s creatures live together with the coral.

Let’s go to the school festival together!

Autumn is the season of school festivals!

Autumn is the season of school festivals. At each university and junior college, the executive committee members are making elaborate plans for the school festival. It is also interesting that each university has its own personality, such as various projects and mock shops by each club and circle, and appearances by famous cultural figures, singers, and celebrities. Of course, it is attractive that not only university students, but also high school students and the general public can visit. Why don’t you experience a different university atmosphere that you can’t experience at an open campus? Here is all the information on each university’s school festival!

Publication of materials from three universities on support for students with disabilities

In response to the implementation of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities 2016, universities have urgently needed to establish support coordinators and improve their software and services. However, universities that have little experience in accepting students with disabilities have no choice but to build a system in the dark when developing a support system, and it takes a lot of time to smoothly manage and implement support for students with disabilities.
In order to solve these issues, we will publish the materials of the three universities (Kyoto University, Kyoto Sangyo University, and Doshisha University) provided in the Foundation’s designated research project (see below) conducted in FY2016.
The tacit knowledge accumulated by the coordinators is “visualized” by sharing information on materials, and is open to the public in the hope of improving the skills of support staff and raising the quality of support for students with disabilities at each university.
We would appreciate it if you could improve it according to the support environment and policies of each university.

theme	Establishment of a database of accessibility and reasonable accommodations for the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities at universities Toward the Establishment of a Collaborative Organization for the Office of Support for Students with Disabilities
Principal Investigator	Satoshi Yoshida (Associate Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University)
Background and Objectives of the Research	In response to the enforcement of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in 2016, there is an urgent need for universities to establish a support coordinator for students with disabilities, to understand and improve the physical environment on campus, and to improve the software and service environment that supports education and research. In addition, there are many different forms of support such as reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, and the individual knowledge and know-how of the staff in charge of responding to them are not shared, and depending on the employment status of the staff, they remain buried and are not shared both inside and outside the university. In connection with this, we will significantly increase the level of progress in efforts to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities at universities in the wake of the enactment of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination on the Grounds of Disability in FY2016 by building a database that covers the knowledge of efforts at each university, and to bring it to the same level as or exceed that of developed UD countries, and to create new initiatives for the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities. The purpose of this course is to present the possibility of a project led by the University Consortium Kyoto. In particular, the purpose of this study is to “visualize” the tacit knowledge and skills of the faculty and staff in charge, such as the know-how for constructive dialogue and consensus-building with relevant faculty members, as well as methods for raising awareness and disseminating information, which the support coordinators for students with disabilities at each university have accumulated in their practice, and to present guidelines that can be shared with university staff who have not yet established a sufficient support organization for students with disabilities on campus.

The second pre-event of the Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project was held on Sunday, August 27th at Kyoto Station Building & Porta!

Thank you for holding the event

Following on from the previous pre-event, the second pre-event of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project in Kyoto Station Building & Porta was successfully completed on Sunday, August 27, thanks to everyone’s support and cooperation.
On the day of the event, we were able to carry out all the programs of the “Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta” with a pleasant breeze blowing as if autumn had arrived, along with a large chorus of cicadas feeling the hot summer. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who worked hard in various fields to hold the pre-event.

Event Report

Kyoto City Daisaku Kadokawa, Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee Chairperson, and international students sprinkling water

At the 15th Kyoto Student Festival, students themselves become “culture” in Kyoto, which is called “Kyoto City of Students” under the theme of creating “Kyoto student culture,” and we are working every day with the goal of becoming a “culture” themselves, learning about Kyoto’s culture, and creating a new culture that adds a student’s personality to it. And at the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (held on October 8), which is the culmination of these efforts, we aim to make the festival more rooted in Kyoto and loved by people while demonstrating the passionate energy of the students to the fullest.
This time, “15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta” was held on Sunday, August 27 at the Kyoto Station Building and the underground shopping mall Porta in front of Kyoto Station.
The opening event began with a chalk art performance by the Mr./Ms. of the Kyoto University of the Arts Art Club, which captivated the Mr./Ms. of visitors, followed by a greeting from Mr. Daisaku Kadokawa, the Mayor of Kyoto, and a declaration of the opening from Mr. Kima, Chairman of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee.
At the Porta Plaza Stage, the odori and costumes are very popular every time. There were games and quizzes using the Sodefure Collection and local characters, a project by Mr./Ms. Scientific, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Kyoto Kumiyama High School, which conveyed the wonder and fun of science, and a performance by students of the Kyoto Tachibana University calligraphy club based on the mounts drawn by the children of visitors at the booth, and members of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee and visitorsWe had a wonderful time and the project was carried out.
In the plaza in front of the station, Mr./Ms.everyone is busy wearing yukata with Chinese and Korean exchange students to experience and make their favorite booths, such as the Uchimizu project to cool Kyoto Station in the summer, the school festival booth where you can feel the culture of the students closely, the Kyoto Flame Mikoshi Exhibition, and the interaction with local characters and taking photos. There was a line at the Mr./Ms. booth, and the students were so energetic that they could not be defeated by the summer heat.
In particular, the Kyoto Student Music Award, a student music contest that was the centerpiece of this year’s event, was held at Muromachikoji Plaza. With a passion for music that could not be defeated by the midsummer sun, the battle for participation in the Kyoto Student Festival Main Festival was waged, attracting many visitors to the world of student music.
And the long-awaited stage performance by “Heisei KIZOKU” will appear at Porta Plaza and Muromachi Koji Square! A large number of people gathered at each venue, were drawn into the world of dance, and created a wonderful space, and the venue was full of applause.
At the same time as the summer came to a close, the excitement of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival pre-event came to a climax.
