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.

◆ About the university community
University Consortium Kyoto Secretariat (Deputy Secretary-General: Masaru Yoshisada)
Summary:
There are a variety of FD initiatives that can be considered. In addition to individual initiatives, inter-university collaboration, joint initiatives, and information exchange with other universities can also be expected to have a significant effect. In this training, we will consider the ideal university community as a place for collaboration from the perspective of FD through an overview of the University Consortium Kyoto, the business of the University Consortium Kyoto, the founding spirit of the university to which each participant belongs, the composition of the faculties, and the characteristics of the curriculum.

Basic Knowledge of FD: Toward Sustainable Capacity Development
Lecturer: Kenji Otono (Professor, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Kyoto Sangyo University)
Summary:
The environment surrounding FD is also changing significantly. In addition to mere educational improvements and innovations, various ways of thinking and initiatives related to higher education itself are required. In this training, students will deepen their understanding of FD by reconsidering the current environment surrounding universities, such as educational administration, from basic knowledge about FD and higher education, and deepen information exchange and mutual understanding among those involved in university education.

◆ Basic knowledge and workshops for lesson design
Lecturer: Hitomi Asada (Associate Professor, Department of Early Childhood Education, Huacho Junior College)
Lecturer: Nobuteru Okamoto (Professor, Faculty of Foreign Studies, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies)
Summary:
The syllabus plays an important role in ensuring a well-planned lesson. The items and contents that should be included in the syllabus are also diversifying. In this training, we will focus on the syllabus and consider the basic concepts and points to keep in mind regarding lesson design. In addition, through workshops, students will learn specifically about the consistency of higher-level educational policies and goals, such as curriculum policies (CPs) and diploma policies (DP), with individual subjects and classes.
