| overview | We will invite university students, working adults, and high school teachers who have completed inquiry-based learning at high school and gone on to university to give case reports on “what they learned from inquiry-based learning at high school, how they applied it to their university studies, and the subsequent career development and support of teachers.” Based on this, we will provide a forum for high school teachers and university faculty and staff to share their thoughts on issues, deepen exchanges, and think about the connection between high school and university with an emphasis on “inquiry.” |
