2016 Kyoto FDer Juku × University Education Power-up Seminar Joint Project

Theme: "Thinking about Quality Assurance of Education"

Amid the emphasis on measures related to quality assurance of higher education, many universities have introduced GPA systems and visualized learning outcomes, and are required to develop IR functions and establish departments. In addition, at the field level, creativity in classes, such as active learning and lesson design, is required every day. Against this background, this fiscal year, Kyoto FDer Juku and the University Education Power-up Seminar were jointly held, and the keynote speech was on the relationship between quality assurance of education and IR, and the three subcommittees introduced case studies and two workshops, incorporating both macro and micro perspectives.

Implementation Report

On Saturday, January 21, 2017, the University Consortium Kyoto jointly organized the "Kyoto FDer School" and the "University Education Power-up Seminar" under the theme of "Thinking about Ensuring the Quality of Education," with 99 participants from member and non-member universities.

Ensuring the quality of education is an eternal issue for universities, and many universities have introduced GPA systems, visualized learning outcomes, and are required to develop IR functions and establish departments. In addition, at the field level, creativity in classes, such as active learning and lesson design, is required every day. Against this background, the keynote speech was about the relationship between educational quality assurance and IR, and the second half was divided into three subcommittees (Case Studies, Active Learning Workshop, and AL-type Class Design Workshop).
First, in the keynote speech, Dr. Reiko Yamada (Professor, Faculty of Sociology, Doshisha University) gave a keynote speech on the theme of "Quality Assurance of Education and IR." Although IR has been spreading in the university industry in recent years, about 70% of universities do not have a university-wide IR organization, and he pointed out the problem that IR functions are limited and ambiguous, and explained the necessity of "educational IR" by stating that education quality assurance is now entering the third stage (returning data results and evaluations to student education).

In the second half, three subcommittees were held simultaneously, and in Subcommittee A, case studies were introduced by two universities, and Professor Akira Hayase (Professor, General Planning Office) and Professor Masayuki Murakami (Professor, Multimedia Education and Research Center) of Kyoto University of Foreign Studies introduced case studies on "Efforts to Guarantee the Quality of Education and Visualization of Learning Outcomes at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies" adopted by the Program for Accelerating the Revitalization of University Education (AP). Dr. Tetsuo Kyomen (School Education Course, Lecturer) of Aichi University of Education gave a case study on "Utilization of Teaching Data to Ensure the Quality of Teacher Training at Aichi University of Education: Possibility of IR Based on Collaboration among Four Universities."

In Session B, a workshop was held with the keyword of active learning, which is equivalent to a university education power-up seminar, and Professor Hideo Kubo (Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, Kyoto Sangyo University) talked about the work of creating mechanisms to solve problems that tend to occur in active learning classes under the theme of "Creating various mechanisms to promote mutual learning and growth."
Subcommittee C also held a workshop on AL-type classroom design, which is equivalent to a seminar on power-up university education, and Professor Takeshi Yamada (Associate Professor, Center for the Promotion of Research and Development of Higher Education, Kyoto University) gave a lecture on the theme of "Designing Classes that Bring Out 'Proactive, Interactive, and Deep Learning'" He talked about the design of the class and its practice.
Finally, in the results of the questionnaire for this joint project, 57 of the 61 respondents who responded to the questionnaire answered "satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" in terms of overall satisfaction, indicating a high level of satisfaction. In particular, all respondents answered "satisfied" with the satisfaction of subcommittees B and C, making the workshop-style breakout sessions very meaningful.
In addition, many positive comments were received, such as "I was able to understand the meaning of IR from the situation surrounding the university and I was able to learn about specific educational activities," "I felt a sense of fulfillment in the two-part structure, and I thought that it would be better if faculty and staff of each generation were aware of it as a whole," and "I was able to obtain information that will lead to the resolution of issues that are issues for our university."
