Event Outline
The 21st High School-University Collaboration Education Forum
Classes based on the new curriculum guidelines are being implemented in all high schools, and inquiry and “comprehensive inquiry time” are being developed in each subject. Inquiry is essential to achieve independent, interactive, and deep learning, and inquiry begins with finding a question. How can high school and university students find good questions? To do this, it is necessary to develop the ability to design questions so that they can grasp the essence of diverse and complex problems, set challenges, and lead to creative solutions. In the high school-university transition reform, it is becoming even more important for each
stage of high school education, university entrance selection, and university education to work together to have a common understanding and connection of how to improve the ability to design questions. In recent years, there have been a series of publications on “what is a good question” and “what is question design,” and it can be said that this has become a concern not only for high schools and universities but for society as a whole. In
this forum, we will explore the common ground from high school to university through “good questions.” This will be an opportunity for high school and university students to share and think about issues together regarding how high school students can design questions that will deepen their exploration, and how university students can use the ability to design questions they have formed to advance their learning at university and develop exploration into research.

| Keynote Speech 1 10:10～11:00 |
Collaborative Inquiry and Question Design : Linking with the Three Pillars of Qualities and Abilities in the Curriculum Guidelines
|
|
|
What does the “essence” of essential questions mean? Why does it have to be an “essential question”? What is the relationship between “inquiry learning” and “project-based learning” and questions? Questions should be flexibly designed according to the students and environment in the classroom, and the time available for the unit. Verbalize what part of the knowledge you are asking about and what part of the students’ qualities and abilities you are accessing, and think about how to ask good questions. |

| 11:00～11:10 | break | |
| Keynote Speech 2 11:10～12:00 |
The Present and Future of Question Creation: A Journey of Thought and Practice on Questions and Question Creation
|
|
|
One of the keywords in inquiry-based learning is “question formulation.” I have therefore posed two questions. The first is “how to formulate questions,” and the other is “how to create a space for question formulation.” The question formulation method QFT*, which I encountered seven years ago, has been of great help in thinking about and putting these questions into practice. In this lecture, I would like to share with you a journey of thought and practice surrounding question formulation, by explaining the philosophy, purpose, and implementation process of QFT, conducting experiential work, and introducing what I have learned from people with deep knowledge of question formulation and QFT. *Question Formulation Technique |

How was this new team inquiry activity aimed at connecting high school and university developed and put into practice?
Mr. Kazuhiko Saito, Specially Appointed Professor, Entrance Examination Office, Education Center,
Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Mr. Keiya Ito, Supervisor, High School Education Division, Guidance Department, Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education Mr. Akio Inui, Professor, Faculty of Economics, Kyoto Tachibana University Mr. Minoru Inoue, Supervisor, High School Education Division, Guidance Department, Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education |
|
| As various inquiry activities spread, the Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education has developed and implemented the “Smart AP,” a common course for prefectural high schools that involves teamwork across school boundaries. Teachers from both the high school and university involved in the development and implementation of this course will introduce how it was developed in collaboration with the university, how it was put into practice while drawing out students’ questions, and what effects it has had. In addition, participants will think together about how to conduct better inquiry activities. | ||
| Second Section Meeting [Science] |
What exactly is a “good question”? ～Creating indicators of “good questions” through science practice～
Kyoto City Horikawa High School Full-time lecturer Hitoshi Takamura
Kyoto City Board of Education, Guidance Department, School Guidance Division, Guidance Officer, Mr. Takashi Yasukawa |
|
| We will introduce “questions” in science classes that students feel have led to deeper learning, and themes set in the “Tankyu-dojo” initiative at Horikawa High School, where high school students act as instructors and junior high school students conduct research activities. After that, participants will share their own ideas of “good questions” and examples of classroom practice with other groups, and try to create indicators for what we perceive as “good questions.” | ||
| 3rd Subcommittee [Information] |
Connecting high schools and universities through information education : Overcoming ideals and reality, expectations and fears
Mr. Takuya Hasegawa, Instructor, Kyoto Tachibana High School Mr. Yusuke Kataoka,
Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto Tachibana University Mr. Jun Suzuki, Instructor, Doshisha High School |
|
| “Information I” will be added to the subjects of the Common University Entrance Examination. However, this is only one of the points of contact between information education in high schools and universities. How do information education in high schools, which is based on programming and data utilization, and information education programs in universities, which focus on mathematics, data science, and AI, connect? How should they be connected? We will draw out ideals and realities, and hopes and fears, from both high schools and universities, and deepen the discussion. | ||
| Special Session 1 [High School-University Connection] |
From High School to University: The Current State of Pre-Entrance Education and GP Co-Sponsored by the Japan Association of University Admissions Professionals
Ms. Akika Toyama, Assistant Professor, Admissions Center, Educational Development Promotion Organization, Nagasaki University Ms. Iwako Yamamoto,
Professor, Faculty of Science and Technology, Kyoto Institute of Technology |
|
| Due to the diversification of university entrance examination selection content and the expansion of year-end entrance examinations, pre-enrollment education is being provided to successful applicants. Pre-enrollment education is the point of contact with the university to which students will advance, and is an educational opportunity that greatly influences the transition from secondary education to higher education. We will report on the current situation regarding pre-enrollment education based on a survey conducted last year, and consider what kind of pre-enrollment education is necessary to enable students to transition from high school to university and achieve their academic goals. | ||
| Special Session 2 [Co-creation between University Students and High School Students] |
What kind of story will be created by co-creation between university students and high school students ? The future that high school students and university students envision
Takako Kamiguchi, 4th year student, Faculty of Regional Management, Fukuchiyama Municipal University Yusuke Kiyonaga,
4th year student, Faculty of Letters, Ryukoku University Yudai Miyauchi, 4th year student, Faculty of Public Policy, Kyoto Prefectural University Yoichi Sawai, Head of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Department and Planning Promotion Division, Jonan Ryoso High School, Kyoto Prefecture Visiting Researcher, Satoyama Studies Research Center, Ryukoku University Tetsuhide Shigeno |
|
| The High School Student My Project Award supports practical inquiry-based learning among high school students. It is a forum for learning where high school students from all over the country who have carried out inquiry-based learning/My Projects present their activities and face themselves through dialogue with other participants. Why did the university student in charge of the My Project Award secretariat decide to get involved in running it? And what do the high school teachers who support high school students’ participation in this project expect? We will discuss this based on each report. | ||
Information exchange meeting
| 17：30～18：30 |
We will be holding an information exchange meeting in the hall of Campus Plaza Kyoto, where the forum will be held. We will be providing light meals and drinks, so we hope you will join us. |

Implementation Report
Report of the 21st High School-University Collaboration Education Forum [Click here for details]
This year, the overall theme of the event was “How to design good questions: exploring commonalities between high school inquiry and university research.” As COVID-19 was classified as a Class 5 infectious disease, the event was held in person only for the first time in four years, but 132 people from all over the country participated. In the first part of the keynote speech, Mr.
Sato Fujiwara, Representative Director of the General Incorporated Association No Answers School, gave a speech on the theme of “Collaborative Inquiry and Question Design: Linking with the Three Pillars of Qualities and Abilities in the Curriculum Guidelines,” and Professor Kenichi Sato, Professor at the Faculty of Life Sciences, Kyoto Sangyo University, Representative Director of the NPO Hatenathon Co-Creation Lab, and Co-Creation Evangelist at Hack Camp, Inc., gave a speech on the theme of “The Present and Future of Question Creation: A Journey of Thought and Practice on Questions and Question Creation.” In the floor-participation roundtable discussion
, Professor Takayuki Shiose, Associate Professor at the Kyoto University Museum, took the stage as a facilitator, and after the keynote speech, he summarized questions from the floor and deepened the discussion on “questions.”
In the second part, the participants were divided into five subcommittees based on the overall theme, including Special Subcommittee 1 “High School-University Connection” and Special Subcommittee 2 “Co-creation between University Students and High School Students.” Case studies and other information were shared and reported on by theme, and there was a lively exchange of opinions.
