“The 22nd Kyoto High School and University Faculty Exchange Meeting” Recruitment of Participants

The 22nd Kyoto High School and University Faculty Exchange Meeting

What is the school system and research organization that drives the “time for comprehensive inquiry” that is no different from a school where inquiry is progressing rapidly?
~The school’s organizational structure in which students actively explore and the appearance of the school changes
How should I maintain it~

How to realize students’ independent learning while focusing on the time of comprehensive inquiry is a common issue in many fields. In this program, two high school teachers who have worked on these issues will introduce practical examples, focus on the school affairs division of responsibilities organizational system to foster inquiry-based learning throughout the school, and discuss the curriculum, including the organization and number of credits. In the process of developing an organization and research system that drives the curriculum of “Comprehensive Inquiry Time”, it will be an opportunity for high school and university faculty and staff to think together, including the perspective of faculty members’ own learning, collaboration, companionship, and curriculum management.

We look forward to your active participation.
