Business Overview
As an organizational effort for faculty members to improve and improve the content and methods of classes, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto area together with member schools since 1995, shortly after its establishment.
In fiscal 2019, we launched the Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting as a place for university faculty and staff to share ideas and concerns related to FD beyond the boundaries of their own universities, and to interact with university faculty and staff on various themes related to FD.
The Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting in fiscal 2023 will be held three times in total.

| Session 1 “Japanese Language Proficiency of Students (Japanese Education)” ~ Because it is natural, be polite! Through reading and writing training, we will develop the ability to think necessary for university learning~ |
|
|
The theme of this year’s event, which will be the first of the Kyoto FD Exchange Meetings in 2023, is “Cultivate the ability to think necessary for learning at university through reading and writing training.” The decline in Japanese language skills among university students has already been pointed out, but the decline in Japanese language skills (especially reading comprehension) can be regarded as a decline not only in Japanese’s vocabulary and written expression skills, but also as a decline in the ability to “think” based on Japanese. At this exchange meeting, not only those who have a sense of crisis about the decline in students’ Japanese language and thinking skills in various daily teaching situations, but also those who are involved in first-year education and curriculum management, and those who want to share awareness of these issues with faculty and staff of other universities will go beyond the boundaries of universities to discuss “How can students’ ‘thinking’ ability be nurtured through reading and writing training?” I would like to think about it together. This is not a “workshop” but an “exchange meeting”, so please feel free to join us. |

“It’s obvious, so be polite!”
Through literacy training, we will develop the ability to think necessary for university learning.” Group Work (1) Q&A summary |
| Part 2: “Transformation of Classes in Primary and Secondary Education by the GIGA School Concept.” What do you think about the future of university from there?” |
|
| In elementary and secondary education, the GIGA School Concept creates an environment where learners can learn using information terminals and network connections, and Reiwa Japan-based education is being promoted. About three years have passed since GIGA School, and we will explain the changes in classes mainly in elementary and junior high schools with cutting-edge examples. Based on this, I would like to think about how the university environment (classes, research, student life) will change in the future. This is not a “workshop” but an “exchange meeting”, so please feel free to join us. |

| No.3 “Actual Situation and Issues: The Actual Situation of Support for Students with Disabilities and What Should Universities Do?” | |
| I believe that reasonable accommodation at universities has been implemented, and students are facing students every day with “provision of reasonable accommodation” and “what can be done for students with disabilities and concerns” in mind. At this exchange meeting, we would like to invite Mr. Jun Murata of Kyoto University to talk about the actual situation of support and to think together about the support that university faculty members and staff should provide in the future. Why don’t you work with faculty and staff from other universities to think about support and issues for students with disabilities and anxieties beyond the boundaries of universities? This is not a “workshop” but an “exchange meeting”, so please feel free to join us. |
