How will we learn at university in the future?
– Diversity of learning that creates independence – Capacity: 1,000 (member schools prioritized capacity: 600)
|
There are many different types of students at university, and each of them independently learns different things. The way we learn at universities is changing from a “teaching paradigm,” where the instructor is the main actor, to a “learning paradigm,” where the learner is the main actor. Even during the coronavirus pandemic, there are many examples of students practicing independent learning through off-campus activities such as industry-academia collaboration and regional collaboration. Additionally, support for independent learning for various students is becoming more diverse. In addition to providing general learning support and improving the learning environment, it is also necessary to provide support for students with disabilities and students with financial problems. In this symposium, we would like to discuss how students should learn at universities in the future, citing examples of students learning independently through regional collaboration and various support initiatives for students.
