The University Consortium Kyoto will hold an IR Forum in collaboration with Liacec Co., Ltd.

With the number of 18-year-olds declining and the severe environment known as the “2018 Problem,” management reform is an urgent issue for universities, and many universities are implementing a wide variety of management strategies. Similarly, in education and classes, which are the cornerstone of university management, many universities are conducting research and trial and error on how to visualize learning outcomes and how to link the data obtained from these results to class improvement.

Therefore, in this forum, Mr. Kobayashi, the editor-in-chief of “College Management” in his keynote speech and the director of the Recruit Research Institute for Academic Advancement, who is well versed in university management reform and educational reform, will talk about how to proceed with management reform through IR in the future and how important educational reform is in this context. We will introduce practical examples of management reform based on the PDCA cycle based on management data, as well as specific efforts to improve education in response to issues that have emerged from the visualization of learning outcomes. In the second half of the panel discussion, we will delve into more specific content.

Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto are implementing the “University Regional Collaboration Creation and Support Project (nicknamed the Gakumachi Collaboration Project)” to support the efforts by granting support funds to projects and projects that work on urban development and regional revitalization in Kyoto through “collaboration” between universities, students, and local communities.
This year marks the 15th year of the program, with the aim of developing human resources by securing practical education and research opportunities for universities, and for local communities, solving local issues and revitalizing them through the knowledge of the university and the vitality of students.
We are pleased to announce that we will start recruiting for the 30th academic year, so please check the following guidelines before applying.

From this fiscal year, projects that apply for the cultural category may be selected in the general category.

As for the judging, the content of the projects will be judged in the same way for both the general and cultural categories, and only the cultural category will be judged from the perspective of the student’s degree of contribution to the local community.

★ What is the “Cultural Framework”?

In March 28, it was decided to completely relocate the Agency for Cultural Affairs to Kyoto. Taking this as an opportunity, we have established a “cultural frame” for the Gakumachi Collaboration Project from the 29th academic year, and we are expanding the activity expenses for creating and disseminating printed materials and videos for efforts to “disseminate” diverse cultures from Kyoto.

Target Businesses

　For the purpose of solving local issues and revitalizing the city of Kyoto, projects that fall under the following requirements ((1) and (2) for the general category and (1), (2), and (3) for the cultural framework) to be implemented in Kyoto City during the Heisei 30 fiscal year (from the date of adoption to the end of March of the following year) are eligible.

Examples: Health and welfare, social education, community development, promotion of academic, cultural, artistic or sports, environmental conservation,
Surveys and research in various fields such as community safety, citizen lectures, events, etc.

(2) Those who have not received any subsidies or subsidies from Kyoto City other than the Gakumachi Collaboration Project.

[Requirements for the cultural quota only]

In addition to the requirements of (1) and (2), it is necessary to dig up the culture that lies dormant in the region and to pass on the culture that has been passed down from generation to generation in the region.
Projects that work on dissemination to preserve for the future, or to create a new culture through the knowledge of the university and the vitality of its students.
Businesses to work on.
　In order to inherit and archive local culture, it is necessary to disseminate the results of activities in print and video.
* “Culture” includes lifestyles and customs such as art, performing arts, events, industry, food, clothing, housing, etc., as well as old and new.
There are diverse aspects.
Universities, student groups, and the local community themselves should carry out activities from the perspective of “this is culture.”

summary

This time, we held a study session titled “Facility Support for Students with Disabilities ~Thinking about Accessibility~” with the main participants in charge of university facilities, rather than those in charge of supporting students with disabilities. The capacity of 15 people was filled, and there were participants from large universities, small universities, art universities, and other prefectures, and wheelchair users Eiji Yamamoto (President, iCollaboration, a specified non-profit organization) and Chika Sekine (Visiting Professor, Social Innovation Course, Graduate School of Policy Sciences, Faculty of Policy Studies, Doshisha University) also participated as guests.
After the presentation of the topic, a group discussion was held, including the sharing of case studies from each school. From the perspective of being in charge of supporting students with disabilities, there were opportunities to share case studies and experiences at the Kansai Conference of Persons in Charge of Support for Students with Disabilities (KSSK), but there have never been opportunities for facility staff to gather from the perspective of “support for students with disabilities,” and participants were seen actively exchanging opinions, such as questions they had felt on a daily basis and reaffirming their own school’s initiatives.
At the information exchange meeting that followed, they were seen talking about the challenges and future of each university.

The University Consortium Kyoto plans to continue to develop initiatives to support students with disabilities from various perspectives.

The deadline has been extended [For faculty and staff] The 20th Kansai Student Support Officer Roundtable will be held on February 22 (advance registration required, free of charge)

The University Consortium Kyoto will hold the “Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable” (KSSK) as follows, with the aim of exchanging personnel involved in disability support services at universities in the Kansai region.

This is the 10th anniversary of the founding of KSSK, and the 20th anniversary of the event, the topic will be changed to a commemorative lecture, and Professor Ishida (Tsukuba University of Technology), the former chair of the committee who was involved in the founding of KSSK, will be invited as a lecturer to speak on the theme of “The Past 10 Years and the Future 10 Years of Regional Cooperation Networks.”

In addition, the subcommittees will be divided into three themes: “Lectures,” “Small Universities,” and “Case Studies,” and will exchange opinions on how to support students with disabilities.
If you are a faculty member or staff member who is involved in supporting students with disabilities at a university or junior college in the Kansai area, or who is interested in supporting students with disabilities, please join us in creating a network of people in charge.

Hisayuki Ishida (Professor, Tsukuba University of Technology, Chairperson of the 1st~15th KSSK)

KSSK was established in 2008 with the basic philosophy of “a practitioner’s perspective,” in which practitioners involved in supporting students with disabilities “kneel down” and frankly discuss the successes and failures of support. Subsequently, the importance of supporting students with disabilities increased due to the enforcement of the law, and KSSK came to the attention of a good example of a regional network. In the commemorative lecture, Dr. Ishida, who was involved in the founding of the network, will talk about his thoughts at the time and the circumstances that led to its launch, as well as the expected role of the regional network in the future.

PC Taker Training Course (Beginner) in Doshisha University March 8 (Thu)

With the cooperation of the Disability Student Support Office of the Doshisha University Student Support Center, the University Consortium Kyoto will hold a “PC (PC) Taker Training Course (Beginner Edition) in Doshisha University” for beginners with the aim of introducing them to “PC Take”.

In recent years, many students with disabilities have been enrolled, and various types of support are provided at the university. For students with hearing impairments, “note-taking” and “PC taking” are the mainstream of support, using notebooks and PCs to convey information in lectures. In particular, “PC Take” is characterized by the ability to convey more written information than handwriting when you become an advanced player.

This time, with the cooperation of the Doshisha University Disability Student Support Office, Mr. Mr./Ms., a student staff member who is actually involved in support as a PC taker, will conduct a course arranged by Doshisha University for beginners that is actually held for students at their own school.Students who are interested in PC taking or are currently working on PC take, as well as faculty and staff who are interested in the efforts of other universities, Mr./Ms. are welcome to participate。 (The PDF data of the flyer isHere）
