Policy Directions and Challenges of Reform of the High School-University Connection: Toward the Establishment of a “Relay of Learning”
Mr. Tetsuo Goda (Cabinet Counselor, Cabinet Secretariat, 100-Year Life Era Concept Promotion Office/ |
| It has been five years since the 2012 report of the Central Education Council advocated a comprehensive reform of high school education, university entrance examinations, and university education in order to establish a “learning relay” through K-16 education. I would like to consider the policy direction and challenges of this policy. | |
| Case Reports 10:45～12:30 |
Initiatives to Support Learning for Students in Need of Support at Private Universities and Future Issues – Fostering Active Learners – Terumi Sameshima (Lecturer, Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Kyoto Koka Women’s University) |
| In response to the need to provide high-quality learning suitable for each student with diverse academic abilities, the university opened a “Learning Station” specializing in learning support in 2014. In this article, we will introduce the learning support efforts of learning support teachers and full-time faculty members, and consider the social significance of “creating a place to belong” for students in need of support. Furthermore, from this initiative, I would like to think about how to foster “active learners” from high school to university. | |
| “The Ability to Learn” to Guarantee Learning and Growth: Rethinking Curriculum Design from Theory and Practice
Terumasa Ikeda (Professor, President, Assistant to the President, Otemon Gakuin University) |
|
| Is the school’s curriculum functioning? Judging this question from the social index of “level of understanding of lessons,” a related survey shows that the number of people who “do not understand classes” increases as the grades increase in elementary and junior high schools, and exceeds 50% in high school. The reality is that the curriculum is not functioning, but it is the curriculum that guarantees learning and growth as a person. We should move away from the discussion of the development of “academic ability” in entrance examinations that deviates from this. This report proposes the ability to learn, which guarantees learning and growth. | |
| 12:30~13:30 | 〈Rest〉 |
| Panel & Floor Discussion 13:30～15:00 |
Panel & Floor Discussion
Panelists: Mr. Tetsuo Goda, Mr. Terumi Sameshima, Mr. Terumasa Ikeda |
| We will think about “what skills should be cultivated now,” including exchanging opinions with the participants on the floor. |
【Part 2】15:15~17:15 Breakout Session
| Session 1 [Expression technique] |
Classes that aim for deep learning by proactively finding “questions” ―From the questions posed by the teacher to the questions discovered by the students― Presenter: Mr. Yoshihiro Izumi (Teacher, Yamada High School, Iwate Prefecture) |
| In the past, the presenter has presented and shared the “central question” at the beginning of the class, after asking an “open question” that anyone can answer and from which a variety of answers can be derived. However, this time, we have begun to practice methods that elicit questions from the students’ side and deepen independent learning, focusing on sovereign education. The presenter will ask questions about the significance and challenges of class practice, and I would like to deepen the interaction with the floor. As was the case last year, in addition to the breakout session participants, online participants via Zoom are also scheduled to participate in the discussion. | |
| Session 2 [Mathematics] |
Exchange efforts toward smooth high school-university collaboration
Presenter: Takayuki Yamawaki (Mathematics Teacher, Kyoto Gakuen Junior and Senior High School) |
| I would like to exchange information and opinions frankly about the initiatives and issues to smoothly connect from high school to university learning. | |
| Subcommittee 3 [English] |
Aiming to Cultivate Rich Expressive and Communication Skills: English Classes Focusing on Performance Evaluation
Presenter: Tamako Suzuki (Teacher, Kyoto Prefectural Nishiotokun High School) |
| In this subcommittee, we will report on the performance issues that Kyoto Prefectural Nishiotoku High School is working on and performance evaluation based on rubrics, with the aim of fostering rich expressiveness and communication skills, and deepen our insight into the performance issues and performance evaluations that are currently required for English instruction, and deepen exchanges with participants about the significance and challenges of these issues. | |
| Session 4 [Science] |
The power born from independent learning
Presenter: Nao Takada (Teacher, Horikawa High School, Kyoto City) |
| In the new Course of Study, “proactive, interactive, and deep learning” is required, and in particular, how to realize “deep learning” is attracting attention. The starting point for realization is “independence,” which has long been used as a keyword for learning. In order to deepen what kind of power can be derived from “independent learning” in the period of change in learning in the future, I would like to discuss based on the practice at Horikawa High School and the reports on the situation at Kyoto Institute of Technology, Ryukoku University, and Kyoto University of Education. | |
| Special Breakout Session (1) [Development of Admissions Specialists] |
Admissions Specialist Skill Development Course
Presenter: Dai Nishigori (Professor, Admission Center, Saga University) |
| In accordance with the development of the content and evaluation methods of entrance examinations in the reform of entrance examinations, the development and development of specialized human resources for admissions is required in the high school-university connection system conference, including the high school-university connection report. In this subcommittee, university and high school faculty members who are in charge of entrance examinations and career paths will give lectures on the knowledge and evaluation methods that are essential for the development of highly specialized human resources in the field of high school-university connection. Lecture 1: Introduction to Admissions Officers Lecture 2: Theory and Practice of Comprehensive and Multifaceted Evaluation *This subcommittee will be held jointly with the Center for Educational Development, Kyushu University Next Generation University. |
|
| Special Breakout Session (2) 【High School and University Collaborative Career Education】 |
The Necessity and Challenges of Collaboration between High School and University Society: Who Creates the Environment for Students to Grow
Presenter: Mr. Seiki Tanaka (Director of Planning and Promotion Department, Kyoto Prefectural Toba High School < > in charge of SGH) |
| In order to promote the reform of the high school-university connection system, it is important for each high school and university to clearly grasp the qualities and abilities necessary for the young people who will lead the next generation, share the issues to develop them from both perspectives, and accumulate reforms. The same can be said for career education. Therefore, in this subcommittee, in addition to high school teachers and high school students, university teachers and university students who are engaged in career education through collaboration between high schools and universities in their respective sectors, working adults (managers) will take the stage to discuss the “necessity and challenges of collaboration between high school and university” from the other side. |

Implementation Report
The 15th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum Report [Click here for details]
This year’s event was held under the overall theme of “Thinking together about what skills should be developed now ~The role of high schools and universities~”, and 210 people from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south participated.
In the keynote speech, Mr. Tetsuo Goda, Cabinet Counsellor of the Cabinet Secretariat’s 100-Year Life Era Concept Promotion Office and former Director of the Curriculum Division of the Elementary and Secondary Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, gave a lecture titled “Policy Directions and Challenges of Reform of the High School-University Connection: Toward the Establishment of a ‘Relay of Learning’,” followed by a case report, Ms. Terumi Sameshima, a lecturer in the Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Kyoto Koka Women’s University, as a case report. Mr. Terumasa Ikeda, Director of the Institute for Basic Education, Assistant to the President, and Professor of Otemon Gakuin University, took the stage.
In the afternoon panel and floor discussion, the main topic of discussion was “What are the skills that should be developed now ~The role of high schools and universities~”, and the participants deepened the discussion while exchanging ideas from both high schools and universities while discussing with each other in groups.
In the second part, the participants were divided into six subcommittees: Expression Techniques, Mathematics, English, Science, Training of Admissions Specialists, and Career Education for High School and University Collaboration, and information was shared and opinions were actively exchanged on each theme.
In the questionnaire after the event, “I would like to think again about what is for the students and provide guidance” (high school teacher) “It is difficult to take on new initiatives, but I strongly felt that we should change our teaching as society changes.” (High school teacher) “I want to re-examine my teaching method” (university teacher), etc., and through keynote speeches, case reports, panel and floor discussions, and various subcommittees, the participants seemed to have gained various realizations and learnings.
In addition, this time, nine students, mainly aspiring teachers, cooperated with the operation as volunteer staff. After the event, they summarized what they noticed throughout the forum and what they would like to make use of in the future. Here are some of them.
At the symposium, the lecturer said that he wanted everyone to take home as homework, and it made me think a lot about whether my classroom or class is a place or relationship where I can say “I don’t know” with confidence. Students in Japan tend not to ask questions during class but to ask questions privately after class, probably because they are always worried that other students will laugh at them for asking questions that are off the mark. In order to alleviate the anxiety of students, teachers must be willing to create an atmosphere in which it is easy to actively ask questions, and for that reason, I felt that it is important to value relationships with students on a daily basis and build good relationships.
What I learned through this forum is that only people can do to light a fire in the hearts of children.
The talk of the digital revolution in the lecture surprised me anew. Certainly, with the tremendous development of modern technology, it may be possible for AI to take the place of teachers. However, I learned once again that education is not just about memorizing, but also about nurturing the minds of students and growing with teachers. In the fourth year of teaching practice, I would like to spend my days with students and search for my own ideas about the ideal form of education.
