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.

| Thinking about “learning achievement” Why don’t you think about “learning achievement” together with the participants, from “why do we need to measure the level of learning in the first place?” to regular reports and tests. In a small group, you will be able to exchange opinions freely. Students will bring what they want to hear about the efforts of other universities and what they can introduce in their own universities’ initiatives, and interact with faculty and staff of other universities. |

Implementation Report
On Saturday, February 22nd, we held the 3rd Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting.
In the third and final session of this fiscal year, the overall theme was “Rubrics that can be understood from scratch,” and Mr. Gary Domochi (Vice President and Professor, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics / Director of the Center for Higher Education and Learning Innovation) was invited as a lecturer.
In the lecture, titled “Rubric ~ Is it possible to visualize learning outcomes?”, he talked about the basics of rubrics, the difference between “evaluation” and “assessment”, how to evaluate using rubrics, their problems, and examples of the use of “Nobishiro Evaluation”. In addition, a “scratch quiz” was practiced as an introduction to the flipped classroom method based on the pre-assignment. In the second half of the lecture, he also touched on the “ICE rubric,” which is an evolution of the rubric, and talked about how to use it based on experience and its effects.
In the group discussion held following the lecture, each group discussed “what they know and what they don’t know about the rubric” and “how it will be useful for future classes,” and each group presented the contents of the discussion and shared it with the whole group. In addition, the instructor gave me careful advice for each of them.
On the day of the event, 34 university faculty members and staff members participated. In the participant questionnaire, the total number of respondents who were “satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied” was 96.0%, which was highly evaluated.
One participant commented, “It was very stimulating and interesting, and I would like to study it to deepen my understanding.” “I thought I understood the rubric to some extent, but it turned out that I didn’t understand it correctly. We received such impressions.
Based on the opinions we have received from everyone this year, we will consider plans for the next fiscal year so that it will be an even more fulfilling exchange event.
Once the details of the project have been decided, we will inform you on our website.
