Implementation Report

There were a total of 19 participants, 8 at the venue and 11 online, and Mr. Noriaki Ishida, a teacher at Miyazu Gakusha, Kyoto Prefectural Miyazu Amankyo High School, reported on the case. Participants were able to deepen their interactions with each other and with the case presenters through question-and-answer sessions and the exchange of opinions. In particular, the participation of university faculty and staff increased, demonstrating a high level of interest.
Chapter 18
On Saturday, February 3rd, we talked about how the experience of inquiry learning in high school affects students’ learning and career development at university, based on the stories of university students, working adults, and high school teachers. Under the theme of “Thinking about inquiry learning in the field,” the students presented case studies on career development from the perspectives of university students, working adults, and high school teachers who have graduated from high school after experiencing inquiry.
A total of 15 people participated, including high school and university faculty members in and outside of Kyoto Prefecture, 9 at the venue, and 6 online. Participants asked questions and were able to deepen their understanding of the learning and awareness they gain from their exploratory learning experiences. For face-to-face participants, it also provided an opportunity for casual interaction through business card exchange and dialogue before and after the meeting.
