Implementation Report

24th FD Forum Report Collection 【Click here for details】

On March 2~3, 2019, the 24th FD Forum "Diversity in Universities" was held at Ritsumeikan University Kinugasa Campus.

　The FD Forum organized by the University Consortium Kyoto has been held since 1995 with the aim of improving the quality of higher education and disseminating information on FD activities from Kyoto, and this year marks the 24th time.
Against the backdrop of major changes in the structure of society as a whole, such as the further decline in the 18-year-old population and the arrival of the "100-year life era," universities are required to accept diverse students such as working adults and international students, assign diverse faculty members, and organize diverse and flexible educational programs.
Therefore, the overall theme was "Diversity in Universities," and on the first day, two symposiums were held, "How to Face the Diversity of People Gathered at Universities" and "Relearning and University Education for Working Adults," and on the second day, 11 subcommittees on various themes were held.
693 university faculty members and educators from all over Japan gathered to report on research results on improving education, share practices, and engage in lively discussions.

On the first day of the symposium (1) "How to Deal with the Diversity of People Gathered at Universities," four speakers took the stage: Ms. Sako Oussouby (President, Kyoto Seika University), Ms. Yoharu Hidaka (Professor, Faculty of Nursing, Takarazuka University), Ms. Kako Akatachi (Lecturer, Abuyama Gakuen, Osaka Municipal Children's Independence Support Facility), and Ms. Megumi Matsunami (Researcher, Research Center for Survivability, Ritsumeikan University). At Symposium (2) "Relearning and University Education for Working Adults," four speakers took the stage: Yuki Inanaga (Lecturer, University Research Center, University of Tsukuba), Masamitsu Nozawa (Vice President, Rikkyo University / Vice President, Rikkyo Second Stage University), Tadakatsu Okada (Assistant to the President of Kansai University / Professor, Faculty of Human Health), and Satoshi Hirai (Secretary, General Affairs Department, Ritsumeikan Educational Corporation). In the panel discussion that followed, there was a lively discussion between the speakers and participants in a participatory manner at the venue.

On the second day, we held 11 breakout sessions on various themes that are of high interest to university educators. At the poster session held at the same time, a total of 17 "educational practice cases" from the member schools of the University Consortium Kyoto were exhibited, and many participants stopped to listen to the explanations in charge and actively asked questions.
