Theme: “Thinking about Quality Assurance in Education ~Toward a Qualitative Transformation and Improvement of Education with an Awareness of the Three Policies~”
Each university is required to make a qualitative transformation in education by realizing university education based on the “Three Policies”, and in 2017, it became mandatory to formulate and publish the “Three Policies” as consistent and consistent. In addition, in the third phase of the certification evaluation, the establishment of internal quality assurance will be an important item.
Under these circumstances, it is urgent for universities to review the “three policies” and develop and implement a system for establishing a PDCA cycle based on these policies. However, it is essential to disseminate understanding among individual faculty and staff and to work to transform and improve the quality of education at the field level.
In the keynote speech, he will give a lecture on the background and purpose of why the “three policies” are emphasized as the starting point of quality assurance, and at the breakout session, he will introduce case studies and workshops that are working to ensure and improve the quality of education at the middle and micro levels.

In particular, many universities are exploring the use of IR as there is a strong demand from outside the university to improve university education, such as understanding learning outcomes, ensuring the quality of education, and managing teaching. This report provides an overview of the research on IR in Japan and the United States that the rapporteur has been working on so far, and introduces efforts related to education quality assurance, including the formulation of three policies currently in practice, and practical examples for strengthening IR. |
