On Thursday, August 1st, we held the 1st Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting.

The main theme of this first seminar was “Thinking about the Quality of Education,” and the workshop was divided into the following five themes. In this workshop, participants shared their own school’s issues and concerns for each theme, and exchanged opinions. In addition, the contents shared by each group were shared with the entire group through a report by the group representative, and opinions were further exchanged.
This year’s grouping of themes is as follows.
(1) Classroom Evaluation (2) First-Year Education (3) IR + Teaching and Learning Management (4) Regional Cooperation (5) FD using ICT



A total of 35 faculty members and staff members participated. In the participant questionnaire after the event, 100% of the respondents answered “satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied,” which was highly evaluated.
Participants commented that they were able to share a wide range of topics with many people, that they were able to learn more about practical examples from each university, and that they were able to come into contact with information from other universities.
