Symposium [March 3 (Sat) 13:00~17:00]

The past and future of FDs ~Thinking about FDs from various angles~

It has been 10 years since FD became mandatory in 2007 under the Standards for the Establishment of Universities. Each university has responded to the mandatory implementation by conducting FD workshops, open classes, and conducting class surveys, and has made efforts to improve educational capabilities. In the meantime, active learning has spread at an accelerated pace, and the concept of FD itself has also become an important theme in thinking about FD, such as educational IR, which collects and analyzes a wide range of information related to education and learning and uses it to improve education, and the three policies and quality assurance, and the concept of FD itself is expanding.
Therefore, in this symposium, I would like to pause for a moment and sort out what kind of results have been produced by the “FD” so far, what issues remain, and how to develop the “FD of the future” and what kind of university education we are trying to achieve. To this end, four sympositors will be invited to give lectures from a variety of angles, including national and policy perspectives, international perspectives, and on-the-ground perspectives. Through discussions among the participants, I would like them to think about FDs in the past and FDs in the future from a variety of angles.

What’s going on? What are you going to do? Evaluation of each lab
– Nursing Training, Welfare Training, Education Training, Qualification Training-

Capacity: 100 people (priority capacity: 60 people)

We will reconsider how universities should interpret and evaluate the evaluation of practical training in nursing, welfare, education, and (qualifications).
In practical training, there are various evaluation methods, such as the university presenting the evaluation point of view, and the training destination preparing the point of view. In this subcommittee, we will consider how the university should handle the evaluations returned from the training sites, how to provide feedback to the students, and how to make them the final evaluation.

Design and operation of cross-sectional programs that cultivate scientific literacy
-Topics of Statistics Education, Integrated Science Experiments, and Practical Exchange Site Model-

Capacity: 100 people (priority capacity: 60 people)

We will report on the design and operation of “cross-departmental STEM education” and “accumulation and exchange of TIPS in classes” that emerged at the previous FD Forum subcommittee, and plan a floor discussion. I would like to discuss cross-sectional STEM education based on the design of “statistics” education, which is the basis of science literacy, and “fusion science experiments,” which is experiential mathematics education. In addition, we would like to discuss the accumulation and sharing of TIPS through the proposal of an exchange site model for STEM education practices.

Assessments to capture higher-order abilities
~Thinking about what kind of evaluation is suitable for capturing what kind of ability, including creating tasks~

Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people)

In recent years, along with the trend of active learning, there has been a lot of discussion about methods for assessing higher-order (integrative) abilities. However, although attention has been focused on evaluation criteria such as rubrics, discussions on the creation of tasks to visualize such capabilities and the examination of their merits and demerits are still in the process of development. Therefore, together with leading experts in educational evaluation in higher education research in Japan, we will discuss evaluation and task development to grasp higher-order abilities.

Effects of Fieldwork in Experiential and Practical Learning and Operational Issues

Capacity: 70 people (priority capacity: 40 people)

In recent years, an increasing number of universities have been implementing “experiential and hands-on learning,” which is a system that takes students out to local communities for education. It is said that this kind of learning leads to students becoming familiar with issues in society and helps them to think about solutions. Therefore, in this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of universities that have achieved results through “experiential and practical learning” and consider with the participants how to proceed to change the level of understanding and awareness of students.

The Future of Regional Qualification Education Programs and Regional Cooperation

Capacity: 60 people (priority capacity: 35 people)

In collaboration with nine universities in Kyoto Prefecture, we have developed and operate a regional qualification system called “Beginner Regional Public Policy Specialist”.
In this subcommittee, we will report and share case studies of regional qualification education programs by partner universities, especially active learning subjects, and discuss the issues faced by regional qualification education programs and future directions.

Thinking about Student Performance Evaluation: Focusing on Engineering and Pharmacy Education

Capacity: 40 people (priority capacity: 24 people)

Among the evaluation of student performance, we will consider how to evaluate communication skills and ethics, among others. Specifically, we will report on performance evaluation from the perspective of engineering education for engineer training, and evaluation efforts from the perspective of pharmacy education for pharmacist training. Based on the two reports, the designated discussants will comment on ethical education in the context of higher education and the measurement of educational effectiveness from a philosophical perspective. In the afternoon, a workshop on performance evaluation will be held based on the discussions in the morning, and discussions will be deepened with the participants.

Business and Undergraduate Seminar Activities

Capacity: 30 people (priority capacity: 18 people)

In Japan, so-called liberal arts university students often find employment at companies upon graduation. For this reason, it is also necessary to provide opportunities for undergraduate education to provide an overview of business and to cultivate basic skills for working adults. There is a limit to what can be done in ordinary lecture subjects, and it is appropriate to conduct those related to the content of the seminar (seminar) through the seminar. In this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of actual seminar activities and consider their effects and possibilities.
