【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.

FY2018 FD Joint Training Program [Basics]
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.

In the “Internship Progress Course” of the University Consortium Kyoto, trainees worked on projects presented by host companies from mid-June to late November. At the debriefing session held on Saturday, November 10, the results of each of the five projects were reported. Some presentations were made with videos and other formats, and students who participated in other projects were able to share their experiences. After about five months of activities, the participants were able to see the importance of collaborating with their peers and the difficulty of achieving their goals.
At the completion ceremony after the results debriefing session, the coordinator faculty members handed out a certificate of completion for each project, and the 2018 Internship Progress Course came to an end.

This year, there was a presentation on the common theme of “scolding” and a discussion of child development.


get-together

After the debriefing session, a social gathering was held. Three trainees served as moderators, and the participants had a great time with games such as self-introduction bingo and sudden interviews. After the activity, it was a social gathering where I was able to interact frankly with the trainees and coordinators.
