symposium
February 25 (Sat) 14:00-16:30
How will we learn at the university of the future
?-Diversity of learning that creates independence-
Capacity 1,000 (Participating schools preferential capacity 600)

There are various kinds of students in universities, and each of them independently learns various things.
The way of learning at universities is changing from a “teaching paradigm” in which the teacher is the main subject to a “learning paradigm” in which the learner is the subject. Even during the pandemic, there are many examples of students practicing independent learning through off-campus activities such as industry-university collaboration and regional collaboration. In addition, the support for independent learning of various students is diversifying. In addition to general learning support and improvement of the learning environment, support for students with disabilities and students with financial problems is also necessary.


In this symposium, I would like to discuss how students should study at universities in the future, citing examples of students learning independently through regional collaboration and efforts to support various students.
