Outline of the event

The 21st High School-University Collaborative Education Forum

19th_banner

Classes based on the new Course of Study are implemented at all high schools, and “time for comprehensive inquiry” is being developed for exploration in each subject. Inquiry is indispensable for realizing proactive, interactive, and deep learning, and inquiry begins with finding a question. How can high school and college students find good questions? In order to do so, it will be necessary to develop the ability to design questions so that they can grasp the essence of diverse and complex problems, set issues, and lead to creative solutions.
In the reform of the high school-university connection, it is becoming even more important to have a common understanding and connection between high school education, university admissions, and university education in order to enhance the ability to design questions. In recent years, there has been a series of publications on “what is a good question” and “what is the design of a question?”, and it can be said that it has become a matter of interest not only to high schools and universities, but also to society as a whole.
In this forum, we will explore the common ground from high school to university through “good questions.” This will be an opportunity for high school and university students to share issues and think about how high school students can encounter questions and design them to deepen their inquiry, and how university students can utilize the design skills of the questions they have formed in their studies at university to develop their research from inquiry.

Keynote Speech 1
10:10~11:00
Collaborative Inquiry and Inquiry Design
~Linking with the three pillars of qualities and abilities in the Course of Study~

Mr. Satoshi Fujiwara (Representative Director, Answerless School)
What is the “essence” of the essential question? Why does it have to be an “essential question”? What is the relationship between “inquiry-based learning” and “project-based learning” and questions?
Questions should be designed flexibly according to the students in the classroom, the environment, and the time available for the unit. Verbalize which part of knowledge you are questioning and which part of the student’s qualities and abilities you are accessing, and think about how to ask good questions.
11:00~11:10 break
Keynote Speech 2
11:10~12:00
The Present and Future of Question-Making: A Journey of Thought and Practice Surrounding Questioning and Question-Making

Kenichi Sato (Professor, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kyoto Sangyo University / Representative Director, NPO Hatenathon Co-Creation Lab)
One of the keywords of inquiry-based learning is “question-making.” Therefore, I asked two questions. One is “how to create questions” and the other is “how to create a place for questioning”. The question-making method QFT* that I encountered seven years ago has been a great help in thinking about and practicing these questions.
In this lecture, I would like to share with Mr./Ms. a moment of the journey of thinking and practicing questions about question creation through explanations of the philosophy, purpose, and implementation process of QFT, hands-on work, and introduction of questions creation and what I learned from people who are deeply knowledgeable about QFT.

【Part 2】15:00~17:00 Breakout Session


Session 1
[Inquiry]
How was the new team exploration activity developed and implemented for the connection between high school and university?

Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Education Center Admissions Office, Project Professor Kazuhiko Saito
Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Guidance Department, High School Education Division, Supervisor Keiya Ito
Kyoto Tachibana University, Faculty of Economics, Professor Akinori Inui
Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Guidance Department, High School Education Division, Guidance Supervisor Minoru Inoue
In the midst of the spread of various inquiry activities, the Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education has developed and implemented the “Prefectural High School Common Curriculum (Smart AP)” in which teams engage in inquiry activities beyond the boundaries of schools. Teachers from both high schools and universities who were involved in the development and implementation of this course will introduce how this course was developed in collaboration with high school and university, how it is practiced while drawing out students’ questions, and what kind of effects it obtains. In addition, we will think together with the participants about how to improve the inquiry activities.
Session 2
[Science]
What is a “good question” in the first place?
~Through the practice of science, we create indicators of “good questions”~

Kyoto Municipal Horikawa High School Full-time Lecturer Hitoshi Kimura
Kyoto City Board of Education, School Guidance Division, Guidance Department, Mr. Takashi Yasukawa
We will introduce the “questions” in science classes that students feel have led to deep learning, and introduce the themes set by Horikawa High School’s “Exploration Dojo,” an initiative in which high school students are instructors and junior high school students engage in inquiry activities. On top of that, the participants share their own ideas of “good questions” and examples of class practices among the groups, and try to create an index of the “good questions” that we have as a feeling.
Subcommittee 3
[Information]
High Schools and Universities Connected by Information Education
~Beyond Ideals and Reality, Expectations and Fears~

Kyoto Tachibana High School Teacher Takuya Hasegawa
Kyoto Tachibana University, Faculty of Engineering, Associate Professor Yusuke Kataoka
Doshisha High School Teacher Jun Suzuki
“Information I” will be added to the subjects of the Common Test for University Admissions. However, this is only one of the points of contact between information education in high schools and universities. How are information education programs centered on programming and data utilization in high schools and information education programs in mathematics, data science, and AI at universities connected, and how should they be connected? We will deepen discussions by drawing out voices of ideals and realities, expectations and anxieties in the field of information education from both high schools and universities.
Special Breakout Session (1)
【High School and University Connection】
From High School to University: The Current State of Pre-Enrollment Education and GP
Co-organizer: Association of University Admissions Professionals

Nagasaki University Educational Development Organization Admission Center Assistant Professor Akika Takeyama
Kyoto Institute of Technology, Faculty of Crafts and Sciences, Professor, Ms. Iwako Yamamoto
Due to the diversification of the selection content of university entrance examinations and the expansion of entrance examinations within the year, pre-admission education is provided for successful applicants. Pre-enrollment education is a point of contact with the university you are going to go to, and it is an educational opportunity that has a great influence on the transition from secondary education to higher education. We will report on the current status of pre-enrollment education based on a survey conducted last year, and examine what kind of pre-enrollment education should be used to enable students to transition from high school to university and achieve academic achievement.
Special Breakout Session (2)
[Co-creation between university students and high school students]
What is the story created by the co-creation of university students and high school students?
~The future envisioned by high school and university students~

Fukuchiyama Public University, Faculty of Regional Management, 4th year, Takako Ueguchi
Ryukoku University, Faculty of Letters, 4th year, Yusuke Kiyonaga
Kyoto Prefectural University, Faculty of Public Policy, 4th year, Hirohiro Miyauchi
Kyoto Prefectural Jonan Ryoso High School, Dean of the Department of Liberal Arts and Sciences / Director of the Department and Planning Promotion Department, Mr. Yoichi Sawai
Ryukoku University, Satoyama Research Center, Visiting Researcher, Tetsuhide Shino
The High School Student My Project Award supports practical inquiry-based learning for high school students. It is a place where high school students from all over the country who have implemented Inquiry Learning and My Project present their activities and learn from each other through dialogue with participants. Why did the university student in charge of the secretariat of the My Project Award decide to get involved in the operation? And what do high school teachers expect to support the participation of high school students in this project? Discussions will be held based on each report.
