Lecture Outline

theme What is Curriculum Design?
~Aiming for a Consistent Curriculum Design~
Overview In recent years, Japan’s higher education has been required to shift to an organizational and systematic curriculum based on diploma policies and curriculum policies.
Although each university has been tackling various issues through educational reform and FD, it is said that society is still dissatisfied with the current progress in improving undergraduate education.
The most important aspect of undergraduate education as a program is policy-based curriculum design.
How can we shift from the traditional teacher-centered curriculum to an organized and systematic curriculum?
Also, how should specialized education and so-called general education be positioned in the curriculum offered at each university, and how should they be related?
Based on this awareness of the problem, we will share the process and content of the discussion during this period from the precedents of universities that have specifically worked on curriculum reform, and we will provide an opportunity for participants to obtain hints on the optimal decision-making process and problem solving at their home universities.

On Saturday, December 20th, we will hold the 3rd SD Workshop for Staff Promoting Student Growth!

In a situation where the environment surrounding universities is changing rapidly, the management and operation of universities has come to occupy an important position, and the role of university staff is becoming extremely important. In order to adapt to such an environment, we are developing a variety of projects to improve the qualifications of university staff, including management and education and research support.
In the SD workshop, students will make new discoveries, deepen their awareness, and create a network of human exchange that cannot be obtained through lectures through discussions with colleagues from other companies in the same industry (staff from other universities).

If you are interested in trends in higher education policy, if you work with student staff or part-time students, or if you are interested in the “reflection” that is currently in vogue, please join us.

(10th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~Sightseeing Gaze~”

Kyoto Studies 3

The first hotel in Kyoto was Nakamuraya in Gion, which opened in the first year of the Meiji era (1868). Later, in Meiji 21 (1888), Kyoto Tokiwa, which followed the current Kyoto Hotel, opened in Kamogawa Nijo Ohashi Nishizume. Kyoto Tokiwa received the payment of the ruins of the government facility in Kawaramachi Nijo, and restarted in Meiji 23 (1890) as a newly built Western-style hotel as KIOTO HOTEL. The fact that Crown Prince Nicholas of Russia stayed at this hotel and encountered the Otsu incident was a major international event. In 1925, the first Rotary club in Kyoto was established at the Kyoto Hotel. We will focus on the history of hotels in Kyoto that have progressed with the times.

On Saturday, November 22nd, we will hold a lecture to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the University Consortium Kyoto (held at the same time as the Kyoto FD Executive School)!

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Foundation, the University Consortium Kyoto has decided to expand the number of participants in the “Kyoto FD Executive School,” which is usually held for university executives, and to hold a grand lecture to commemorate the 20th anniversary.

In recent years, the role of university executives has become increasingly important in improving university education, and we hope that you will participate in this commemorative lecture as an opportunity to learn about the situation surrounding universities, not only for university executives but also for those who are not directly involved in university management.

Lecture Outline

Thesis “Toward the development of human resources with the ability to open up the future ~The next 20 years when universities and high schools will take on challenges together~”
Lecturer Takayuki Shioze
(Former Assistant Director, Industrial Technology Policy Division, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Associate Professor in charge of Technology History, Kyoto University Museum)
Overview In the era of human resource mobility, where it is no longer the norm to work for 40 years, the skills required of human resources have changed significantly. The mere ability to memorize and accurately reproduce the wisdom of our ancestors is no longer sufficient. In such a society, where the answer is not known in the first place, and where the relationship between value and worthlessness is unstable and can change quickly, it is important to have an attitude toward “unknowingness.” There is a need for human resources who can identify their own strengths and weaknesses in response to changes in value and continue to relearn.

In order to continue to support Japan, which is transitioning from a period of high economic growth to a period of maturity, we must first recognize our position as one of a society of 7 billion people with diverse cultures and values, which is clearly different from the era when only a few countries in Japan, the United States, and Europe led the country. It is the responsibility of the university-high school partnership to accept the diversity of human resources, cultures, and values that are truly necessary, and to produce human resources who can face unexplored social issues and turn the power of diverse specialists into breakthroughs.
Instructor Biography 1998 Graduated from the Department of Precision Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University. He has served as an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kobe University, an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University, and an associate professor at the Kyoto University Museum. Since July 2012, he has been working as an assistant manager in charge of technology strategy at the Industrial Technology Policy Division of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In July 2014, he returned to work as an associate professor at the Museum of Medicine, Kyoto University. He has given numerous lectures on career education in elementary, junior high, and high schools, innovator development training in companies, and the transfer of skilled skills.

2014 Kyoto Studies Course November 1 (Sat) Trip and Shrine Visits ~The Beginning of “Famous Places”~!

(8th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”

Untitled 1
From the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of the early modern period, what we now call “landmarks” appeared. Kyoto came to be seen as a city full of these “famous places”, and shrines and temples became the center. Media that invites you to “famous places” also appear one after another. It is a pilgrimage mandala, a map of the Rakuchu Rakugai, a description of the landmarks, and a guide. While introducing such media, we will trace the development of “famous places” and the spread of travel, using Kiyomizu-dera Temple as a typical example.

Date Saturday, November 1, 2014 10:30~12:00
Venue Campus Plaza Kyoto 5th Floor, Lecture Room 1
Lecturer Teruhisa Sakai (Curator, Kiyomizu-dera Temple)

After serving as an advisor for the revitalization of Kyoto City from April 2009, he became the curator of Kiyomizu-dera Temple from April 12.

(7th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”


Travel & Railways

With the development of the modern railway network, the postal system, and the media, ethnic events and performing arts in various regions have been “discovered” and “hometowns” have been created. In the Showa 50s, the Japanese National Railways (JNR) “Discovery Japan” once again made people aware of their “hometown” and “hometown”. Among them, Kyoto will become a major tourist attraction based on the image of “the hometown of Japan”. I would like to think together with Mr. Mr./Ms. about the relationship between the history of technology and the history of media in the historical background of tourism, and the relationship between Kyoto, Kyoto tourism, and folkloism.
