Business Overview
As an organizational initiative to help faculty members improve and improve their teaching content and methods, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto area together with member schools since 1995, shortly after its establishment.
In 2019, we launched the “Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting” as a place for university faculty and staff to share ideas and concerns related to FD beyond the boundaries of their affiliated universities, and to exchange on various themes related to FD.
The Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting in 2024 will be held twice in total.

| Session 1 “Seminar Management to Motivate Students” ~Thinking about gimmicks from the perspectives of both humanities and sciences~” |
|
| This year’s theme will be the first Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting in 2024, with the theme of “Managing a seminar that motivates students ~ Thinking about tricks from the perspectives of the humanities and sciences ~”. Suddenly, teachers! Are you having trouble with this? “There is no vitality in the seminar” and “The students’ motivation for research is…” The theme of the first Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting in 2024 is “seminar management to motivate students”. The lecturers are Prof. Kurita (science) and Prof. Zheng (humanities), who have a reputation for seminar and laboratory management. The teachers are creative in the form of joint seminars and other creative ways to create a place where students can learn independently. Would you like to take a hint from this practice? Let’s go beyond the boundaries of universities and the humanities and sciences and talk together with Mr./Ms. about “how to become a vibrant seminar and laboratory” and share wisdom. This is not a “training session” but an “exchange meeting”, so please feel free to join us. The teachers’ seminars will change! |

| Session 2 “Thinking about the mental health of university students and class management” -What you can do from the standpoint of a teacher-” |
|
| In recent years, the number of students with disabilities has continued to increase every year, and the number of students with mental disorders and developmental disabilities (including gray areas) has been particularly noticeable, and their characteristics and symptoms have diversified, and the needs of these students at universities have become more complex. Teachers have the opportunity to be in charge of students with disabilities due to the nature of their classes, and on top of that, they are required to respond to the “individual” to some extent, and in some cases, they may be hesitant to respond to them, wondering “what to do and to what extent.” Therefore, this exchange meeting will be an opportunity to think about how to manage classes (countermeasures) from the two perspectives of “proactive improvement measures (social model of disability)” and “individual response (medical model)” as hints for responding to these issues. The needs of students with disabilities are diversifying, and their responses are naturally becoming more complex, and there is no single right answer. First of all, I would Thailand like you to learn the basics of mental health for university students, and then give you an overview of the two models, think about what teachers can do in terms of class management, and at the same time, have the opportunity to think together about what not to do. |
