	Today, the times demand the ability to live and work in reality. In order to achieve this, it will be necessary to learn how to learn in a way that allows each individual to think for himself and develop his or her own ideas in the learning process that leads from high school to university. As one of these attempts, the Consortium for the Support of University-Initiated Education is currently working to create new classes in high schools by utilizing the learning mechanism hidden in “dialogue.” I would like to work with the participants to consider a new form of collaboration between high school and university that can be seen from class reforms that foster the creativity of each individual’s knowledge.

Implementation Report

In the first part, “Keynote Speech” was given by the University Consortium Kyoto
Professor Hiroshi Uchimura (Professor, Kyoto Institute of Technology), Director of the Office for the Promotion of High School-University Collaboration, not only explained the efforts of the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council, the background and purpose of setting the main theme of this year, but also explained the perspective of cognitive psychology, academic ability classification, university entrance examinations, learning, etc., from an academic perspective.

Next, high schools and universities that are collaborating with high schools and universities to make advanced efforts reported on “Practical Case Studies.” Kyoto Municipal Luoyang Technical High School introduced a case study of project-based learning in the Special Advancement Course (Hyper Stage), Shohoku Junior College introduced the contents and effects of pre-enrollment classes conducted as part of career education for prospective students, and Kyoto Municipal Tohnan High School talked about high school-university collaboration efforts and future issues in the specialized course “Education Mirai Course” for teacher training. The University Consortium Kyoto introduced “Maruttoku,” a new career education initiative in which high school students, university students, and local communities work together.

In the afternoon, Professor Nahomi Miyake of the University of Tokyo gave a special lecture entitled “Exploring New Forms of High School-University Collaboration through the Creation of Knowledge by Each Person through Dialogue.” First, after reviewing the practical case studies introduced in the morning, the “Knowledge-Constructing Jigsaw Method” was introduced as a new practical method for students to deepen their learning through dialogue, and explanations were given with group work among the participants. Through the group work, the participants were able to realize that by bringing what they learned and sharing it with the group, rather than learning individually, it leads to deeper and broader learning and understanding. This time, it was an attempt to take up a case study of science, but there were reports that various examples of classroom practice are spreading regardless of whether it is a science subject or a humanities and social science subject, and I had the impression that it can be applied in various situations such as low-regenerative seminars not only in high schools but also in universities.

The second part was divided into subcommittees on “Expression Techniques,” “Mathematics,” “English,” and “Science,” where practical examples of each subject and theme were shared and opinions were exchanged. In “Expression Techniques,” we were able to further deepen the discussion in the first part through group work. In the “Mathematics” section, there were reports on practical examples of classes using ICT in high schools and practical examples of incorporating mathematical activities in universities. In the “English” section, the activities of the subject guidance exchange between Ritsumeikan University and Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School were introduced. In the “Science” section, there were reports and exchanges of opinions on collaboration between high schools and universities through the “Kyoto Physics Grand Prix” sponsored by the Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education.

The forum ended with great success. We look forward to your participation in next year’s High School-University Collaborative Education Forum.
