Imadoki’s University Education and “Good Learning”
~Issues and practical tips for first-year education and general education found in co-creation workshops~

Capacity: 160 people / Priority capacity: 100 people

The theme of the project is “Motivating, encouraging, and learning with students.” In the first half of the session, we will uncover issues through a co-creation workshop in which everyone at the venue participates, and exchange the results. In the second half of the session, there will be case reports, question-and-answer sessions, and discussions from the speakers, and we hope that each participant will develop new insights and ideas, and that the desire to “change/change” will increase.

On the Design of Basic Science Education

Capacity: 120 people / Priority capacity: 70 people

In the excellent educational practice reports of the sciences, I hear voices such as, “It’s wonderful, but is it a good fit for us?” In other words, we planned a subcommittee based on the idea that “if it is a meta-level perspective related to practice and design, it may be useful in a wide range of areas, even if it does not have an immediate effect.” I would like to invite three speakers to give lectures on the design philosophy of the basic science curriculum, the design and implementation philosophy of organizational and systematic learning support, and the main points of basic education in science mathematics based on the mathematics competency survey, and then discuss with the floor.

The choice of a women’s university in the context of educational diversification

Capacity: 120 people / Priority capacity: 70 people

Historically, girls’ education has developed in a way that follows the education of boys. With the quantitative expansion of higher education, the number of female students increased, but the fields of study at women’s universities were limited to meet the needs of society. Now, an increasing number of universities are shifting to co-education, either because they have completed their mission or because of the declining birthrate, but it is a timeless and universal fact that female students have more challenges to overcome than male students in designing their life courses and career paths. Women’s colleges have abundant resources for women’s education, such as the presence of female faculty and staff who can serve as role models for working women, and it is believed that they have a certain role to play as a place to accept the drifting thoughts of female students who are forced to search for an unknown way of life different from their parents’ generation in a rapidly changing society. Now is the time for women’s colleges to speak out for themselves and show their aspirations to become the core of women’s education. We would like to use this breakout session as an opportunity to explore and discuss the future of women’s colleges together.

Planning and management of FDs based on the context of one’s own university

Capacity: 80 people / Priority capacity: 45 people

In order to promote FD at university, it is important to plan and manage FD training that is suitable for your university. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to share information within the university, identify problems, and collaborate and understand each other between faculty and staff.
In this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of FD training at universities by the presenter, and plan and manage FD training that takes into account the context of the university to which you belong through the work.

How to improve learning outcomes in undergraduate seminars

Capacity: 80 people / Priority capacity: 45 people

In recent years, there have been calls for the introduction and promotion of active learning, but the reference to “seminar education” that brings learning outcomes through close dialogue between teachers and students is not always sufficient, and its practice has become a black box. In this subcommittee, we will explore a better way of undergraduate seminar education through panel discussions based on rich seminar education practice reports in the humanities and social sciences and group discussions among participants.

The Honne and Hopes of the “Intermediate Leaders” Teachers Responsible for Educational Reform
~The State of Middle Management~

Capacity: 60 people / Priority capacity: 35 people

In educational management and educational reform, “intermediate leaders” such as the dean of the faculty of education, the director of the XX Institute, the director of the XX Center, and the head of the XX Office play a major role. In collaboration with the staff, I would like to think about the worries and aspirations of such “intermediate leader” faculty members, who do not want to neglect education and research, although the time and burden of meetings and coordination are large, and the ideal state of middle management, including group work. We invite a variety of people, including mid-career and young faculty members and staff, to participate.

Universities and theaters, museums and galleries

Capacity: 60 people / Priority capacity: 35 people

With the establishment of project courses, universities now have opportunities to contribute to the community. However, it seems that there were only a few activities that led to actual results such as town revitalization. In addition, there is not much cooperation between universities and cultural resources, especially public facilities such as theaters, museums, and art galleries. Is it possible to reconsider the relationship between universities and cultural resources, and to seek opportunities for students to learn outside the campus? We want to create a place where we can share awareness of these issues.

Specialized health and medical education: Raising the independence, satisfaction, and understanding of learners

Capacity: 60 people / Priority capacity: 35 people

Students will learn how to promote FD among young faculty members in medical university departments. In particular, I would like to think about how to improve the ability to teach practical training, which is considered difficult to acquire. Medical students are not only conscious of the national examination, but must also understand and absorb a vast amount of medical and nursing knowledge that will be useful for their future careers in a short period of time. I would like to think about efficient educational methods for this purpose. On the other hand, I would like to think about “studying at a university” rather than a vocational school, which means that not only specialized knowledge but also general education can be acquired.
First of all, Ms. Yoshiko Yagi will give a lecture titled “The Power of Teachers to Nurture Students’ Independence ~Focusing on Practical Training~”. Next, Dr. Shigecho Nishii will give a lecture titled “Specialized Knowledge→ in the Medical Field: ~From the Educational Achievements in the Medical Field~”, and Dr. Yuko Taniguchi will give a presentation on how she considers her life’s work, “Practical Efforts to Develop Health and Exercise Instructors in the Department of Health and Sports,” as a place for practical education for students. After that, I would like to discuss the themes of nursing education (including practical training), education at medical universities (classroom lectures), and the practical theme of maintaining health through exercise.

Learning Commons for Students by Students of Students

Capacity: 60 people / Priority capacity: 35 people

Currently, there are various names and forms, but so-called “learning commons” have been established at many universities. However, how many universities operate organically as a learning environment through collaboration between the teaching profession and academia? I think that there are many universities and people in the field who are facing problems, such as the fact that the intention of the university to open the facility is not well communicated to the students, and as a result, they are forced to increase the number of prohibited items, or they are unable to respond to the active requests of students who want to use the service in this way. Instead of putting the brakes on the accelerator, how can we create a “learning” environment that makes it easy for students to drive? In this subcommittee, we would like to consider the ideal form of a “learning commons for students by students, for students” based on the case of a university that is developing the operation of the commons and activities based on the commons.

Self-school education as a liberal arts education
~Issues and Prospects Concerning the Realization of the “Founding Spirit and Philosophy”~

Capacity: 60 people / Priority capacity: 35 people

In recent years, when the quality assurance of higher education has been questioned, strict grading standards are naturally required for subjects related to “self-school education.” What is “evaluation” in one’s own school education subjects? Also, how can this lead to the realization of the university’s philosophy and “founding spirit”? We would like to introduce examples of the position and embodiment of private school education, which is becoming increasingly important not only at private universities but also at national and public universities, and to exchange opinions on the significance, issues, and prospects of private school education in modern society.

Exploring the visualization of education that fosters students’ independent learning and autonomy

Capacity: 60 people / Priority capacity: 35 people

At each university, the visualization of education (3 policies, curriculum map, rubric, portfolio, IR, etc.) is at the center of reform. Are students’ independent learning (learning) and autonomy (development) really being encouraged? In addition to introducing case studies from each university, we will invite experts who are already working on the visualization of education as a selected school for the AP project, and explore how to visualize education that fosters independent learning and autonomy among students while sharing this question with the participants.

Classes and fieldwork
~How to connect the inside and outside of the classroom~

Capacity: 40 people / Priority capacity: 24 people

In fields such as the Faculty of Letters, where fieldwork does not necessarily include research, is it effective to incorporate learning outside the classroom into education? If so, what kind of activities should be set up and how should they be coordinated with classroom lessons?
For teachers who are not satisfied with conventional classes centered on reading materials, etc., and who are unable to take the plunge into activities outside the classroom, we would like to aim for workshops that bring together various practical examples and obtain new ideas for lessons.

On-site Educational Capabilities in Disaster Recovery Support Activities

Capacity: 40 people / Priority capacity: 24 people

On April 1, about half a month after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the State Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology issued a notice calling for “academic considerations for volunteer activities.” On April 27, about two weeks after the Kumamoto earthquake in Heisei 28, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) again issued a notice from the Director General of the Higher Education Bureau requesting similar considerations. While the policy of strongly instructing the so-called 15 classes is being adhered to, why is such a flexible operation recommended in the event of a large-scale disaster? Focusing on the movements of student volunteers after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, we will compare the meaning of practical learning experienced in the field during emergencies with the significance of learning that goes back and forth between the desk and the field on a daily basis, and examine the learning system and style in the active learning era.

Life Skills as a Liberal Arts

Capacity: 30 people / Priority capacity: 18 people

What are the life skills and abilities that we need to live in the modern age? The World Health Organization (WHO) defines it as “the ability necessary to respond more constructively and effectively to a variety of daily demands.”
Here, what are the important life skills for today’s students, who are facing a variety of problems in their university education and life? We would like to use this as an opportunity to discuss practical reports and workshops at the university.
