FY2019 Designated Survey Projects
In fiscal 2019, we set two designated research topics and conducted research on them.
| Theme 1: | The Role of the University Consortium Kyoto in Promoting Recurrent Education in Kyoto |
| researcher | Eiko Takeyasu (Vice President, Kyoto Women’s University, Director, Center for Regional Collaborative Research) Mihoko Aoki (Professor, Department of Life Design, Faculty of Home Economics, Kyoto Women’s University) Tomoya Iwatsuki (Professor, Department of Education, Faculty of Human Development, Kyoto Women’s University) Mikiko Ogura (Director, Center for Regional Collaboration, Kyoto Women’s University) Takaya Sakurazawa (Associate Professor, Department of Law, Faculty of Law, Kyoto Women’s University) Reiko Nakayama (Professor, Department of Food and Nutrition, Faculty of Home Economics, Kyoto Women’s University) |
| Background and Objectives of the Research | The purpose of this study is to conduct a basic survey to clarify the role of the foundation in promoting recurrent education that contributes to solving regional issues facing Kyoto, such as the development of traditional industries, the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises, the utilization of female human resources, and the aging of the population, as well as the challenges of launching recurrent education curricula at universities and other institutions. In order to respond to rapid changes in the social structure, there is a need to promote recurrent education that provides opportunities to continue learning throughout life. However, the number of working adults enrolled in universities and other institutions in Japan remains at a low level compared to the rest of the world, universities are also sluggish in opening programs for working adults, and human resource development at companies is still centered on in-house training and training. Kyoto is a unique “university city” in the world, with 48 universities and junior colleges with a wide range of academic fields concentrated in the region. The promotion of recurrent education utilizing such knowledge resources accumulated in the region is effective in solving regional issues facing Kyoto and Japan society. However, recurrent education covers a wide range of subjects, educational content, and educational methods, and there is a limit to each university’s ability to develop its own educational programs. It is expected that the University Consortium Kyoto will not only be effective in promoting the establishment of recurrent education at member schools, but will also provide a model for consortiums nationwide. |

| Theme 2: | Tracking the Growth of Graduates and Students of Various SD Training Programs and Systematic SD Training in the Future |
| researcher | Takamichi Murayama (Director, Academic Planning Division, Kyoto Bunkyo University) Hiroaki Yamasaki (Project Assistant Professor, Planning Office, Hiroshima City University) Junichi Akita (Team Leader, Academic Affairs Division, Otani University) Daichi Ide (Kyoto Bunkyo University, Admissions Public Relations Division) Shohei Kurata (Director, Academic Promotion Division, Kyoto Tachibana University) Yasunari Shirafuji (Kyoto Sangyo University, President’s Office) Yuta Maekawa (Director, University Reform Promotion Office and Director, University Investor Relations Office, Kyoto Women’s University) |
| Background and Objectives of the Research | The university world has undergone drastic changes, such as a rapidly declining birthrate and aging population with a declining population, accelerating globalization, and the advent of Society 5.0, and the consolidation and bankruptcy of universities has finally become a reality. The university of the future will not be a loose extension of the experience accumulated so far. Therefore, university staff who support this need to make a big leap forward. The University Consortium Kyoto has conducted a large number of SD training programs far ahead of the mandatory SD system. The principal investigator has used various programs as a user of these trainings. Since 2013, he has been involved in the planning, operation, inspection, and improvement of training as a member of the SD Training Committee. At the time of each training, a questionnaire was obtained to confirm the level of satisfaction and the quality of the program, but it was not always clear how much impact each training had on the participants, in what span, and what kind of effect they had on each organization. In order to create systematic training that will bring about a leap forward for university staff, it is essential to accurately measure the effectiveness of current training. In addition, it is necessary to go beyond the framework of the existing SD concept and investigate, research, and verify from the perspective of human resource management theory from a broad perspective of different industries. The purpose of this research is to make recommendations for the construction of systematic SD training in the future through (1) confirmation of the current situation, (2) comparison with human resource management in other industries, and (3) comparison with similar programs. |
