- In promoting the “systematic improvement of university education,” the role of the university executive, including the president, is indispensable. Since 2010, the University Consortium Kyoto has been conducting FD training for university executives.
This year, Dr. Hiromichi Yoshitake, Director of the University Research Center at the University of Tsukuba, who is currently writing a series of articles on “Strengthening Universities ~University Management Reform~” in Recruit’s “College Management,” will give a talk titled “Globalization and University Education Reform ~ Perspectives for Enhancing the Effectiveness of Reform.”From the Instructor:
Globalization is also emphasized at the Council for the Implementation of Educational Revitalization, but the situation seems to vary greatly from university to university. I would like to talk about how to understand globalization and how to link it to educational reforms that are appropriate for individual universities, and how management reforms should be implemented to make these reforms truly effective.
Implementation Report
On Saturday, June 29, the University Consortium Kyoto held the “2013 Kyoto FD Executive School”.
We welcomed 41 participants, mainly from the presidents of the 50 member universities and other members of the university executive committee, and Professor Hiromichi Yoshitake of the University of Tsukuba gave a lecture titled “Globalization and University Education Reform ~Perspectives for Enhancing the Effectiveness of Reform~”. Discussions and recommendations based on various case studies were presented on how to understand globalization, which is currently a hot topic, and how to link it to educational reforms that are appropriate for individual universities, and how management reforms should be implemented to make these reforms truly effective.
Although the lecture was given in a limited time after the consortium’s general meeting, the participants listened very attentively.
In the post-event questionnaire from the participants, “It was very helpful to learn about the concept of globalization, the chaos of governance and management, and the framework between corporations and universities.” We received such impressions.
