Business Overview
The forum is held for the purpose of “sharing information on domestic trends and disseminating information on initiatives in Kyoto” in the issue of collaboration and connection education between high schools and universities.
Outline of the event
The 22nd High School-University Collaborative Education Forum
It has been 10 years since the Central Council of Education’s report on the so-called “reform of the connection between high school and university.” In the meantime, high schools have been implementing classes based on the revised Course of Study for all grades from this year. The Common Test for University Admissions, which started in 2021, is said to test the skills acquired through “proactive, interactive, and deep learning” in the new curriculum from 2025.
On the other hand, the coronavirus pandemic, the instability of the international situation, and the advent of generative AI have made it even more difficult to predict the future, and the Fourth Basic Plan for the Promotion of Education was formulated amid a mountain of issues such as the declining birthrate and widening disparity. The concept of the plan is to “nurture creators of a sustainable society” and “improve well-being rooted in Japan society.” There is a need for career development and development of children and young people to acquire the qualities and abilities that will serve as the foundation for life, while being aware of the connection between what they learn here and now and the future of themselves and society, and to realize their own way of life together with the creation of a better society.
In this forum, we will explore how “learning” through inquiry is connected to the career development of each person from high school to university and society, and how to create a better school and society through the exchange of this “learning” experience. This will be an opportunity for high school, university, and society to think together about issues in promoting and supporting their career development and development, as high school and university students think about their own way of being and how to live, and to discover and explore their interests and concerns.

The Value of “I” in Learning ~To make schools more and more “free places”~
|
|
| Motivation and Transfer. Currently, primary and secondary education (and higher education?) in Japan (and the world?) These are the two biggest challenges faced by the company. Can inquiry and career education be the “trump card” to solve this problem? In recent years, it can be said that educational reform measures are raining down on the field in rapid succession, and it can be said that we are in the “era of educational reform meteor showers.” Why can’t top-down “education reform” truly “reform” schools? I would like to think about the above two points. |

“Inquiry × Career Education” Connects High School and University Learning
|
|
| The Course of Study, which has been implemented at high schools since the 2022 academic year, emphasizes “inquiry,” and each school is making progress in its efforts to conduct comprehensive inquiry time. On the other hand, it goes without saying that career education is important when considering the connection between high school and university and high school education. In the time of comprehensive inquiry from the perspective of career education, we will consider how students’ learning is connected between high school and university from the perspective of student learning. At the same time, I would like to think about the next phase of high school-university collaboration with the participants. |

【Part 2】15:30~17:30 Breakout Session
| Session 1 | How do we connect inquiry activities in high school to career development and development for high school students? ~From the viewpoint of instruction, school system, outlook and suffering~ reporter
Mr. Hiroaki Nakai (Teacher, Kyoto Prefectural Miyazu Tenbashi High School (Miyazu Gakusha)) Tomokazu Toda (Teacher, Kyoto Prefectural Rakuhoku High School) commentator Akinori Inui (Professor, Faculty of Economics, Kyoto Tachibana University) coordinator Mr. Minoru Inoue (Supervisor, High School Education Division, Guidance Department, Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education) |
|
| At Miyazu Tenbashi High School, students focus on the “community” where they were born and raised, and conduct exploration activities to look at their own way of being. We will report on the relationship between the students’ careers and the “community” that we have seen in this process. From Rakuhoku High School, we will consider the impact of inquiry activities on career development based on the results of the questionnaire and the career paths of graduates. We will report on the prospects and challenges in applying the results of the inquiry activities of the Department of Integrated Science to the general course. Both high school and university students will think about inquiry activities together with participants from the perspective of career development and development. |

| Session 2 | Career Education through High School and University Collaboration -What is a sustainable and meaningful way to collaborate for both universities and high schools? － reporter
Mr. Takaki Miyakoshi (Vice Principal, Kyoto Municipal Tonan-Kaiken High School) Kanako Higashiyama (Director, High School-University Collaboration Promotion Office, Ryukoku University) coordinator Ms. Mari Uesugi (Kyoto City Board of Education, School Guidance Division, Guidance Division) Mr. Masahiro Takeda (Counselor, School Guidance Division, Guidance Department, Kyoto City Board of Education) |
|
| Ryukoku University and Kaiken High School have signed an agreement on high school-university collaboration, and Ryukoku University is planning and operating inquiry-based programs for students of Kaiken High School and providing learning support in inquiry-based classes. We will share the status of these efforts and discuss how to collaborate in a sustainable and meaningful way for both universities and high schools. | ||
| Subcommittee 3 | Challenges and Challenges of Information Education in High School and University ~The Future of Exam Guidance and AI Education~ reporter
Yusuke Takahata (Higashiyama Junior and Senior High School Teacher) Shuji Yamada (Professor, Faculty of Science, Kyoto Sangyo University) coordinator Takuya Hasegawa (Teacher, Kyoto Tachibana High School) |
|
| Against the backdrop of the computerization of society, information education has been enhanced, and information subjects have been added to the Common Test for University Admissions. Universities are enhancing their mathematical, data science, and AI education programs. In this subcommittee, we will deepen discussions on the challenges and initiatives of information education at high schools and universities, based on the reports of Higashiyama High School, which aims to balance entrance examination guidance and career education, and Kyoto Sangyo University, which promotes mathematics, data science, and AI education with a view to the Faculty of Humanities. | ||
| Special Breakout Session (1) | Risk Management in University Entrance Examinations Co-organizer: JACUAP University Admissions Professional Association reporter
Takuya Kimura (Professor, Department of Education, Faculty of Human and Environmental Studies, Kyushu University) coordinator Ms. Iwako Yamamoto (Professor, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Kyoto Institute of Technology) |
|
| The direction and methods of education are changing in line with technological innovation and social change. Naturally, entrance examinations and related operations are in line with them, and each university is responding to movements with a view to practice and development. In order to develop a solid implementation and plan for new entrance examinations, we aim to take stock of the risks of complex and expanding entrance examinations and acquire the corresponding knowledge. *This session is only for university faculty and staff. |
||
| Special Breakout Session (2) | How should we approach the transition between the time of comprehensive inquiry and the inquiry in the subject?
reporter
Kazunori Sakamoto (Teacher, Nanyo High School, Kyoto Prefecture) Yusuke Kiyonaga (Teacher, Kyoto Prefectural Yamashiro High School) coordinator Mr. Tetsuhide Shino (Principal of Nissei High School / Former Professor, Faculty of Letters, Ryukoku University) |
|
| Ideally, “time for comprehensive inquiry” and “subject lessons” should be a back-and-forth relationship. Although we have started to work on the time for comprehensive inquiry, I wonder if we have been able to change the style of the subjects, such as “students copy the board calligraphy” and “ICT is also used, but explanations are mainly given by teachers.” Based on case reports of classes that utilize knowledge such as “QFT (question making)” and “interactive argumentation,” we will discuss classes and exploration that create “proactive, interactive, collaborative and deep learning.” | ||
Information Exchange Meetings
| 18:00～19:00 | An information exchange meeting will be held at the 2nd floor hall of Campus Plaza Kyoto, which will be the venue for this forum. Snacks and beverages will be available, so we encourage you to join us. |
