Rethinking the reform of high school-university connections ~From the Perspective of Competencies~
|
| The main focus of this reform of the high school-university connection is to link up the three reforms of high school education, university entrance examinations, and university education, and the concept of competency is common to them. In my keynote speech, I would like to think about the new course of study and the goals of university entrance examination reform based on the discussion on competencies. | |

How to deal with the evaluation of independence, etc. ~Conscious of the connection between high school and university~
|
| is not easy to evaluate one of the three elements of academic ability, “the attitude of learning independently and collaborating with diverse people” in entrance examinations. However, it is also one of the things that high schools and universities should discuss constructively while being promoted by policy. In this lecture, we will introduce perspectives and evaluation approaches for assessing independence, etc., and consider what universities and high schools should do from the perspective of “educational connection.” | |

【Part 2】15:30~17:30 Breakout Session “Connecting Learning” II
In last year’s breakout session, high schools and universities held a dialogue on the development of the qualities and abilities of each young person in order to realize “learning connections.” This year, in order to further realize “learning connections,” we would like to use this as an opportunity for both sides to think about entrance examination reform.
In addition, in January 2021, the Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, the Kyoto City Board of Education, the Kyoto Prefectural Federation of Private Junior and Senior High Schools, and the University Consortium Kyoto examined the implementation of the Common Test for University Admissions, the use of private examinations in English, which are the key points of entrance examination reform, the writing questions of Japanese language and mathematics in the Common Test for University Admissions, and the evaluation and comprehensive evaluation of independence. Subcommittees were set up for “History, Civics” and “English”. I would like to use this as a forum for discussion on specific issues to promote the connection between high school education, university entrance examinations, and university education in each subject.
| Session 1 [Japanese] |
The Potential of the Japanese Language Opened Up by the Reform of the High School-University Connection ~Thinking from the Common Test for University Entrance Examinations and the New Course of Study~
|
| Prior to the implementation of the new Course of Study from the 4th year of Reiwa, a new Common Test for University Entrance Examinations will begin from the selection of university students for the 3rd year of Reiwa (implemented in the 2nd year of Reiwa). Focusing on what kind of skills should be fostered in Japanese language education in the future, we will discuss what can be seen through the reform of the high school-university connection together with two speakers invited from high schools and universities. | |
| Session 2 【History/Civics】 |
Qualities and abilities to be nurtured through proactive, interactive, and deep learning ~What are the skills that lead to learning at university~
|
| We will report on practical lesson improvement to improve the qualities and abilities of life and work through students’ use of social perspectives and ways of thinking, and through proactive, interactive, and deep learning. In addition, we will listen to the opinions of university professors about the qualities and abilities that they want students to acquire through their subjects and that will be the basis for learning at university. Based on the above, we would like to discuss the improvement of classes to improve the qualities and abilities that support lifelong learning, and the university entrance examination (Common Test for University Admissions, etc.) to measure this. | |
| Subcommittee 3 [Mathematics] |
Smooth high school-university collaboration, exchanging efforts to nurture people who enjoy mathematics and continue to learn
|
| Let’s exchange ideas and ingenuity to smoothly connect students from high school to university studies, and to nurture people who will continue to be interested in mathematics and continue to learn. | |
| Session 4 [Science] |
What is independence in high school science? ~Qualities and abilities to be fostered and evaluation in university entrance examinations~
|
| In high school science classes, we will consider how to stimulate intellectual curiosity and cultivate the ability to learn science based on class practice reports from high schools. In addition, all participants will discuss how this ability should be evaluated in university entrance examinations and how to do so. | |
| Subcommittee 5 [English] |
Aiming to cultivate the ability to think that leads to rich expressiveness
|
| The English proficiency required by the new course of study is not limited to a superficial understanding of English, but is a higher-order ability to think, judge, and express appropriate language materials according to the purpose, situation, and situation in dialogue with a diverse range of people. In this subcommittee, we will explore specific methods for fostering deep thinking and rich expressive skills, think about how to develop higher-order abilities, and exchange opinions with participants. | |
| Special Breakout Session (1) 【Recruitment Specialist Development】 |
The 3rd Admissions Specialist Skill Development Workshop (Kyoto)
|
| This subcommittee has been established since 2017 and will continue to hold training sessions for those who want to acquire specialized knowledge of entrance examinations, including university faculty and staff in charge of entrance examinations, with the aim of developing highly specialized human resources in the area of high school-university connections. In this article, we will focus on “Status of Recommendation and AO Entrance Examinations” and “Risk Management of Entrance Examinations”. This subcommittee will be jointly held with the Center for Educational Development at Kyushu University Next Generation University. | |
| Special Breakout Session (2) 【High School and University Collaborative Career Education】 |
2019 High School and University Collaboration Future Session Public Review Meeting
|
| The “High School-University Collaborative Future Session” is a career education project that interacts across generations, such as high school students, university students, and working adults, as well as between schools. In this breakout session, high school and university students who participated in the event held in Kyoto City on September 22 and in northern Kyoto Prefecture on September 29 will gather for an open review meeting to look back on the learnings and insights gained at each venue. The aim of this meeting is for participants to experience the process of thinking and acting by listening to the voices of high school and university students, and to provide an opportunity for dialogue through questions and answers. |
