Implementation Report
The University Consortium Kyoto held the "2012 Kyoto FD Executive School" on Saturday, June 23.
We welcomed 53 participants, mainly from the university executive committee, including presidents from 50 member universities, and Prof. Toru Iiyoshi of Kyoto University gave thought-provoking talks based on his extensive knowledge and experience in higher education at the Carnegie Foundation and MIT.
Although the lecture was given in a limited time after the general meeting of the consortium, many questions were asked and a lively question-and-answer session was held after the lecture.
In the post-survey from the participants, "It was very stimulating, and I realized how old and fragile the Japan university industry is." Comments such as "I was able to get a lot of hints for students to think about how to learn actively." In addition, almost all respondents said that it is necessary to continue to conduct such training in the future.
