Implementation Report
The 23rd FD Forum Report [Click here for details]
On March 3~4, 2018, the 23rd FD Forum was held at Kyoto Sangyo University.
In the 10 years since FD became mandatory in 2007 under the Standards for the Establishment of Universities, each university has made efforts to improve its educational capabilities by responding to the mandatory FD by holding FD workshops, open classes, and conducting class surveys.
In the meantime, active learning has spread at an accelerated pace, and the concept of FD itself is also expanding, as is the use of educational IR to collect and analyze a wide range of education-related information, not limited to class questionnaires, and use it to improve education, as well as the three policies and quality assurance.
This symposium was held as an opportunity to pause for a moment, sort out what kind of results have been produced by the “FD so far” and what issues remain to be addressed, and think about how to develop the “Future FD” and what kind of university education it intends to achieve, and was held with the participation of 651 people from 249 universities and institutions nationwide.
On the first day of the symposium, four speakers, Takeshi Hayashi (Assistant Director, University Promotion Division, Higher Education Bureau, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), Hiroshi Umemoto (President, Kyoto Tachibana Gakuen), Hiroaki Sato (Associate Professor, Education and Learning Support Department, Institute for the Promotion of Comprehensive Education, Osaka University), and Tomoko Mori (Professor, Department of Education Promotion, Kansai University) gave presentations from different perspectives. In the panel discussion and group discussion that followed, there was a lively discussion with the speakers and participants.
On the second day, 12 breakout sessions were held on themes of high interest to university educators. At the “Poster Session” held at the same time, which exhibited a total of 16 “educational practice cases” from 12 member universities of the University Consortium Kyoto, many participants stopped to listen to the explanations of the person in charge, and actively asked questions.
