| 9:45～11:05 | 〈Special Lecture〉 Fostering the skills necessary for the next generation to survive in an inclusive society and relearning for adults Associate Professor, Kyoto University Museum Takayuki Shiose |
| An inclusive society where people live with diverse people, work with diverse people, and learn from diverse people has already begun. However, we must understand that it is difficult to equip the next generation with the ability to survive only through education that competes with homogeneous abilities and fosters homogeneous values. We must also recognize that adults who are supposed to draw out their abilities need to relearn so that they can respond to changes in the environment, and we must urgently share new views on education and learning. | |
| 11:05~11:15 | 〈Q&A〉 |
| 11:15~11:25 | 〈Rest〉 |
| 11:25～12:15 | 〈Lecture〉 Entrance Examination Reform for High School and University Connections: Initiatives for Entrance Examinations of the Faculty of Education, Kyoto University Professor, Graduate School of Education, Kyoto University Takashi Kusumi |
| First, I would like to talk about trends in the reform of entrance examinations for the connection between high school and university. Next, based on these trends, I would like to introduce the special entrance examination (scholastic AO entrance examination) based on performance evaluation at the Faculty of Education, Kyoto University, which has been implemented since the 28th academic year. Lastly, I will talk about how to evaluate the logical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills that students have acquired through inquiry-based learning activities in each subject and comprehensive study time in high school in the special entrance examination. | |
| 12:15~12:25 | 〈Q&A〉 |
| 12:25~13:25 | 〈Break/Lunch〉 |
| 13:25～14:05 | 〈Lecture〉 Kyoto Kogakuin High School’s Challenge: Aiming Beyond Educational Reform Kyoto Kogakuin High School Principal Hiroaki Sunada |
| Kyoto Kogakuin High School opened in April this year through the reorganization and integration of Luoyang Technical High School and Fushimi Technical High School. At our school, we did not simply integrate the two schools, but returned to the skills and qualities required after entering the workforce and what academic skills must be acquired in high school, discussed what kind of education will be needed in the future, and incorporated various mechanisms. In this lecture, I will report on the trial and error and challenges of problem-solving learning and cross-curricular learning, which are particularly important in education. | |
| 14:05~14:15 | 〈Q&A〉 |
| 14:15～14:45 | 〈Concluding Comments〉 Prospects for the reform of the high school-university connection system Professor, Faculty of Letters, Otani University / University Consortium Kyoto High School Collaboration Promotion Office Katsumi Arase |
【Part 2】15:15~17:30 Breakout Session
| Session 1 | 〈Expression Techniques〉 Learning design that creates synergy between “school× ICT× society” ~Creating the future with cross-border learning friends~ Former Professor, Faculty of Humanities, Kyoto Seika University / Yoichi Tsutsui, University Consortium Kyoto High School University Collaboration Promotion Office |
| In the first part of the special lecture, Prof. Shioze talks about the importance of education with different values. Based on the question raised, this subcommittee asks how to design a learning environment that encourages “proactive, interactive, and deep learning” in schools and universities. Also, what is necessary to make use of what you learn at school in society? The purpose of this course is to think about future learning models and reflect on current efforts by utilizing ICT and local human resources (not human resources) surrounding schools to reframe learning beyond the existing learning framework, and to use cases of learners experiencing proactive, interactive, and deep learning as inspiration. The program will be conducted in a way that emphasizes dialogue among participants, with the aim of enabling participants to put into practice what they have learned from the subcommittees. | |
| Session 2 | 〈Mathematics〉 To equip them with the ability to survive in the coming era The Significance of Mathematical Modeling in Educational Reform Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, High School Education Division, Supervisor Hiroshi Mizuguchi |
| In the educational reform that is currently under discussion, it is important to enhance mathematical activities with an awareness of the relationship with the real world. From this point of view, this subcommittee will report on “mathematical modeling” based on the principle of mathematization of reality. Focusing on the active learning-type challenge program held in Kyoto, we will introduce examples of initiatives with overseas universities and high schools, and consider the significance of mathematical modeling in educational reform from the perspective of connecting high school and university. | |
| Subcommittee 3 | 〈English〉 Improvement of the environment for the English 4-skill university entrance examination and the direction of learning guidance Ms. Lisa Takayama, Supervisor of School Guidance Division, Guidance Department, Kyoto City Board of Education |
| In this subcommittee, we will report on the efforts of Kyoto Municipal Saikyo High School to study the curriculum, the efforts to teach English in the four-skill type at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, and the efforts to train English teachers who can teach the four skills type, based on the exchange and research on teaching and evaluation methods for the development of the four skills by the English Subcommittee of the Kyoto Municipal High School Education Research Association. We will propose specific theories on English proficiency development for future reform of the high school-university connection and deepen exchanges. | |
| Session 4 | 〈Science〉 “Inquiry” and “Active Learning” in Science Education: Looking Ahead to the New Course of Study Doshisha Junior and Senior High School Vice Principal Toshiaki Yamazaki |
| In science education, “inquiry” and “active learning” have become the new focus of the Course of Study, including educational reform and entrance examinations. In order to examine this issue through high school-university collaboration, this time we will have the opportunity to confirm the direction that science education should aim for in the future, with reports from Mr. Tadashi Kawauchi, who is investigating the inquiry activities of high school students at the Osaka University High School-University Connection Office, and Ms. Saori Nakai, who is working on “active learning” in a new biology class at Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School. |
