【For faculty and staff】Announcement of the 5th “FD Joint Training Program (Basic)” to be held on Monday, February 4

As an organizational effort for faculty members to improve and enhance their teaching content and methods, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto area together with member universities since 1995, shortly after its establishment.
The FD Joint Training Program is a training program that integrates and reorganizes the two programs that were implemented until the 2017 academic year: the “FD Joint Training Program for New Teachers” and the “University Education Power-up Seminar.”
It consists of two sections: the “Basics,” which aims to acquire basic knowledge in teaching, and the “Advanced,” which covers a wide range of themes aimed at improving the quality of education.
Please use it as a place for university faculty and staff to interact.

Session 5: “Learner-Centered Classroom Workshop”

Date: Monday, February 4, 2019 18:00~20:00
Venue: Ikebo Junior College Senshinkan, 6th floor, Conference Room 1　
Target: Faculty and staff of universities and junior colleges *Full-time, part-time, and years of service do not matter
Capacity: 20 people (first-come, first-served basis) Participation
fee: University Consortium Kyoto member schools: ¥1,000

Contents:

◆ Learner-centered classroom workshops
Lecturer: Mieko Sawada (Professor, Department of Fundamental Sciences, Kyoto Institute of Technology)
Lecturer: Shinji Matsumoto (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Bukkyo University)
Lecturer: Ms. Kirie Mori (Associate Professor, Department of Childcare, Junior College, Heian Jogakuin University)
Summary:
Regardless of the field or field, from the perspective of independent learning, there is a need to shift from one-way knowledge transfer classes, which have been common in the past, to learner-centered classes. “Active learning” is considered to be one of them. In this training, we will take up active learning and learn about the background to its attention, its expected effects, and its problems. In addition, through workshops, we will create and peer-evaluate actual lesson design plans that incorporate active learning.

◆ Learning Support and Special Needs Workshops
Lecturer: Jun Murata (Associate Professor, Center for Student Support, Kyoto University)
Summary:
In recent years, the number of students has become more diverse, and there is a wide demand for study support for various students. In particular, with regard to support for students with disabilities, the enactment of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities has made it a legal obligation or obligation for each university to “prohibit unfair discriminatory treatment” and “provide reasonable accommodation” to students with disabilities. In this training, you will first learn basic knowledge about “disability” and then give an overview of the current situation of support for students with disabilities at universities. In addition, I would like to think about support for students with developmental disabilities, which has been increasing in recent years, through workshops.

【For high school teachers and university faculty and staff】Call for participants for the “Roundtable on Support for Students with Disabilities at Universities”


In light of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, which came into effect in April 2016, the University Consortium Kyoto is working on projects related to support for students with disabilities, which are in high demand from member universities.

We hope that by coming into contact with diverse values, you will broaden your horizons and make use of them in your future studies and career choices.
In addition, in anticipation of future technological innovation, we will hold a meeting in Kyoto City and the northern part of the prefecture on the same day, and share role model talks and summary time online.

*Speakers*

Rika Yajima (Representative Director, Waeru Co., Ltd.)
Born in Tokyo in 1988.
Graduated from Keio University Faculty of Law and Keio University Graduate School of Media and Governance.
Fascinated by artisans and tradition, he began traveling around the country at the age of 19, and began working to disseminate information on Japan’s traditional culture and industry during his university years. With the desire to “pass on the traditions of Japan to the next generation,” he founded Waeru Co., Ltd. in March 2011, when he was in his fourth year of university. In March 2012, in order to create an environment where people can come into contact with the handiwork of craftsmen from an early age, he launched “AERU”, a traditional brand for 0 to 6 year olds, and created original products together with craftsmen from all over Japan. Starting with an online directly managed store, in 2014 he opened a directly managed store “AERU MEGURO” in Tokyo, and in 2015 he opened a directly managed store in Kyoto “AERU GOJO”. We are developing various businesses such as “aeru room” and “aeru oatsurae” to connect to the next generation while utilizing the traditions of Japan and the wisdom of our ancestors in our daily lives.
Ryo Tsukamoto (CEO, GL Academia Co., Ltd.)
CEO of GL Academia Corporation. Education professional, interpreter and translator.
He holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Cambridge.
Graduated from the Faculty of Economics at Doshisha University from a problem child with a deviation value of 30 and on the verge of dropping out. After that, he studied psychology at Cambridge, and after returning to Japan, he established an English conversation school, GL Academia, in Kyoto. His teaching methods, which make use of his knowledge of psychology and his own learning experience, have attracted attention, and he has been inundated with requests for guidance from Japan and abroad. More than 100 Japan students, from working adults, have been admitted to top universities and graduate schools overseas, including the University of Cambridge and the University of London.
He is the author of 11 books, including “Life-Changing Studies for Cambridge Graduates Even with a Deviation of 30,” “The Habits of ‘People Who Do It Quickly’ and ‘Those Who Can’t’,” and “Efforts Continue on Their Own.”
