Business Overview
As an organizational effort for faculty members to improve and enhance their teaching content and methods, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto area together with member universities since 1995, shortly after its establishment.
Kyoto FDer Juku is a study group mainly for faculty and staff who are FD committee members and FD administrative staff at each university and junior college in order to train faculty and staff who will become leaders in FD activities at the member schools of the University Consortium Kyoto.
From 2018, “Kyoto FDer Juku” will be held in a different form.
Until 2017, the symposium was held once a year as a medium-sized symposium, but from 2018, it was reorganized into a small-scale training program held multiple times a year with the aim of providing a program that will lead to the development of faculty and staff who will become leaders in FD activities.
The 2nd Kyoto FDer Juku has expanded the scope of participation to non-member schools and extended the application period.

Implementation Report
[Part 1]
On Tuesday, August 21, 2018, we held Kyoto FDer School.
On the theme of “Building a Foundation for Promoting FD on Campus,” Mr. Takero Nishino of Kyoto Tachibana University gave a lecture on the basics such as the definition of FD, and introduced examples of educational reform at Kyoto Tachibana University.
In the workshop, participants looked back on their own FDs, explored issues, and exchanged opinions on the issues and initiatives faced by each university.
In the participant questionnaire after the event, both “satisfaction” and “recommendation” were as high as 93%, and comments such as “I am glad that the essence of the program was explained in an easy-to-understand manner, including examples,” “It was good to learn about the current situation of FD and the efforts of other universities,” and “I was able to share my awareness of the issues.”
[Session 2]
On Saturday, March 9, 2019, we held Kyoto FDer School.
Continuing from the first session, Mr. Takero Nishino of Kyoto Tachibana University gave a lecture on the theme of “Exploring the Direction of Educational Development in Your University, Faculties, and Departments.” In the workshop that followed, participants shared the issues faced by each university, relativized the issues faced by their own universities, and explored ways to solve them.
In the participant questionnaire after the event, both “satisfaction” and “recommendation” were 100%, and we received positive evaluations, such as “I was able to take the time to think about my own issues and the problems of my own university” and “It was good to hear examples from other universities.”
