| 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. |
