How will you study at university in the future?
~Diversity of learning that creates independence~ Capacity: 1,000 students (Priority capacity for member schools: 600 students)
|
|
There are a variety of students at the university, and each of them learns various things independently. The way of learning at universities is changing from a “teaching paradigm” in which the teacher takes the lead to a “learning paradigm” in which the learner takes the lead. Even during the coronavirus pandemic, there are many examples of students practicing independent learning through activities outside the university, such as industry-academia collaboration and regional collaboration. In addition, support for independent learning by various students is becoming more diverse. In addition to general learning support and the development of the learning environment, it is also necessary to provide support for students with disabilities and financial problems. In this symposium, we would like to discuss how students should learn at universities in the future, citing examples of students taking the initiative in learning through regional collaboration and various efforts to support students.

Implementation Report
The 28th FD Forum Report [Click here for details]
The 28th FD Forum was held online (including some hybrids) over four days on February 18 (Sat), 23 (Thurs., Holidays), 24 (Fri.), and 25 (Sat.), 2023, with the main theme of “Challenge: Challenges and Choices Required to Support Diverse Learning.”
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 28th time.
This time, each university’s efforts and practices were reported, such as what kind of support university faculty and staff can provide to the diverse students studying at the university, the learning environment, industry-academia collaboration, regional collaboration, support for students with disabilities, and securing learning during the coronavirus pandemic.
Poster presentations were held on the first day, breakout sessions on a wide range of themes related to 11 learning support sessions were held on the second ~ fourth days, and a symposium and closing session were held in the afternoon of the fourth day.
A total of 416 university faculty members and educators from all over Japan gathered to share reports on the results and practices of learning support, and to actively exchange opinions.
In the online presentation of the poster session held on the first day, a total of eight educational practice cases were presented by the member schools of the University Consortium Kyoto. Fifty people participated, and a lively question-and-answer session took place. In addition, the presenters asked each other questions about each other’s poster presentations, and it was a place for presenters to interact with each other.
On the 2nd ~ 4th day, 11 breakout sessions were held with a variety of presenters from various fields on how to support diverse students. This was the third time the conference was held online this year, and meaningful exchanges between the speakers and online participants were held using the chat function and the question form. In addition, for the first time, the 9th Subcommittee held a hybrid format with the theme of “University Life Spent by Students in the Corona Disaster” by connecting on-site and online participants at Campus Plaza Kyoto via Zoom.
The symposium on the final day was titled “How to Learn at the University of the Future ~Diversity of Learning that Creates Independence~” and was held by Takaaki Nishida (Associate Professor, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kyoto Sangyo University), Chihiro Kunimoto (Deputy Director/Associate Professor, Academic Link Center, Chiba University), and Kazuhiro Nagata (Director, JT Biomedical Research Center, Poet, Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University, Kyoto Sangyo University) Professor Emeritus) (Coordinator: Dr. Hidetaka Shiratori (Professor, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kyoto Sangyo University / Deputy Director, Center for Research and Development in Education)). During the Q&A session, participants discussed how to enable students to learn independently at the university, how to support them, and how to promote collaboration between the teaching profession and the image of faculty members who encourage independent learning.
After the symposium, a closing session was held, and forum participants deepened their interaction with each other using Zoom breakout rooms.
