Symposium 1
February 19 (Sat) 9:30~12:00 ( Networking 12:00~12:30 )
|

Rethinking the “Place” of University Education
– Towards the post-corona era Capacity: 1,000 students (Priority capacity for member schools: 600 students)
|
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the use of ICT in society is progressing rapidly. In university education, we have accumulated know-how such as synchronous and asynchronous remote classes and hybrid classes that combine face-to-face and remote learning. Even after the end of the new coronavirus, these class formats can be utilized. Now that part of the identity of university education, such as “coming to a university campus and taking face-to-face classes by faculty members who are experts in the field,” has been lost, and the “places” of university education are diversifying, it may be necessary to reconsider the nature of university education. Therefore, in this symposium, we would like to think about university education in the post-corona era by listening to the topics of teachers who are developing university-wide educational activities in three types of educational settings: “face-to-face + remote hybrid classes,” “synchronous and asynchronous distance classes,” and “off-campus.”

Symposium 2
February 27 (Sun) 13:30~16:00
|
|
Subjects, Liberal Arts, and the Future of Teachers
~Looking ahead to university education in the future after the Corona disaster Capacity: 1,000 students (Priority capacity for member schools: 600 students)
|
“Creating something that doesn’t exist” and “making use of what exists” are not contradictory values. Against this backdrop, a variety of practices are being developed in relation to university education: “making the most of what is there while creating something that does not exist.” For example, from credit transfer to the establishment of partnerships, from liberal arts to liberal arts, from FD to pre-FD, these movements are positioned as re-examining the existence and role of universities, regional cooperation, and faculty. In this symposium, we will envision and co-create the future of university education through the reports of the three speakers and dialogue with the participants.

Implementation Report
The 27th FD Forum Report [Click here for details]
On February 19 (Sat), 20 (Sun), 26 (Sat), and 27 (Sun), 2022, the 27th FD Forum “Rethinking the ‘Place’ of University Education” was held online using Zoom. The FD Forum, hosted by the University Consortium Kyoto, has been held since 1995 with the aim of improving the quality of higher education and disseminating information on FD activities from Kyoto, and this year marks the 27th time. This time, in light of the diversification of university education venues, such as the response to online classes, during the new coronavirus pandemic, the overall theme of the seminar was “Rethinking the ‘Place’ of University Education” so that it would be an opportunity to rethink the “place” of the university. On the first day, Symposium 1 and poster sessions were held, on days 2~4, there were breakout sessions on 12 diverse themes, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, symposium 2 and information exchange sessions were held. A total of 500 university faculty members and educators from all over Japan gathered to share reports and practices on research results for educational improvement, and to engage in lively discussions. In Symposium 1, “Rethinking the ‘Place’ of University Education: Toward the Post-Corona Era,” three speakers took the stage: Masao Aikawa (Director of Academic Affairs, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, Kyoto Junior College of Foreign Studies), Takero Nishino (Full-time Lecturer, Educational Development and Learning Support Office, Kyoto Tachibana University, Faculty of Business Administration), and Shintaro Ohashi (Associate Professor, Faculty of Agriculture, Niigata University) (Coordinator: Aya Hatada (Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, Kyoto Junior College of Foreign Studies) Associate Professor)). In Symposium 2, “The Future of Subjects, Liberal Arts, and Teachers: Prospects for the Future of University Education After the Corona Disaster,” three speakers took the stage: Kazuhiko Shimizu (Director, Vice President (Planning, Evaluation, and Internal Control, University of Yamanashi), Kiyoshi Fujita (Executive Director, Mitsubishi Mirai Foundation), and Soto Sezaki (4th year, Department of Education and Culture, Faculty of Sociology, Doshisha University) (Coordinator: Hironori Yamaguchi (Ritsumeikan University) Professor, Institute for the Promotion of Common Education)).
In addition, in the online presentation of the poster session held on the first day, a total of 11 educational practice cases were presented by the member schools of the University Consortium Kyoto. A total of 83 people participated, and there were lively interactions, such as active questions.
On the 2nd ~ 4th day, we set up 12 subcommittees on various themes that are of high interest to university educators. This year’s event was held online for the second time, and lively discussions were held in both projects using Zoom’s Q&A function and chat. In addition, a 30-minute exchange session was held after the end of Symposium 1 and some of the breakout sessions, where speakers and participants were able to freely exchange information and exchange.
