Business Overview
In FY2019, the name was changed to “FD Joint Training Program Thematic Training.”
Since its establishment in 1995, shortly after its establishment, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto region together with member schools as an organizational initiative for faculty members to improve and enhance their teaching content and methods.
This FD Joint Training Program is a small-group training program for all faculty and staff of universities and junior colleges with the aim of acquiring basic knowledge of FD, syllabus creation, lesson design and practice, active learning, grade evaluation, and other skills necessary for university teachers.
It is intended for all university and junior college faculty and staff.

| Date: | Saturday, September 28, 2019 14:00~16:00 |

| Overview | “FD Basic Knowledge” “What is a university in the first place?!Thinking about the current university from the perspective of university history” Lecturer: Ryuko Sato (Professor, Faculty of Agriculture, Ryukoku University) “Basic Knowledge of FD: Toward Sustainable Capacity Development” The environment surrounding FD is also changing significantly. In addition to mere educational improvements and innovations, various ways of thinking and initiatives related to higher education itself are required. In this training, students will begin by thinking about “what is a university in the first place?” and learn about basic knowledge about FD and higher education, as well as the current environment surrounding universities, such as educational administration, to deepen their understanding of FD, as well as to deepen information exchange and mutual understanding among those involved in university education. |

| Overview | “Lesson Design and Lesson Practice Workshop” Lecturer: Nobuteru Okamoto (Professor, Faculty of Foreign Studies, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies and Kyoto Junior College of Foreign Studies) Tetsuya Tani (Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Otani University) As we move away from one-way lectures to student-centered, active learning, it’s more important than ever for instructors to design their lessons in detail. In this training, you will learn about the basic concepts of lesson design and examples of design methods. In addition, participants will conduct mutual evaluations through workshops and mock classes on specific lesson designs by themselves. |

| Date: | Tuesday, October 29, 2019 18:00~20:00 |
| Venue: | Campus Plaza Kyoto, 5th floor, Seminar Rooms 2 and 3 |
| Overview | “Learning Support and Special Needs Workshop” Lecturer: Jun Murata (Associate Professor, Center for Student Support, Kyoto University) In recent years, the number of students has become more diverse, and there is a wide demand for study support for various students. In particular, with regard to support for students with disabilities, the enactment of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities has made it a legal obligation or obligation for each university to “prohibit unfair discriminatory treatment” and “provide reasonable accommodation” to students with disabilities. In this training, you will first learn basic knowledge about “disability” and then give an overview of the current situation of support for students with disabilities at universities. In addition, I would like to think about support for students with developmental disabilities, which has been increasing in recent years, through workshops. |

| Overview | “Learner-Centered Classroom Workshop” Lecturer: Mieko Sawada (Professor, Department of Fundamental Sciences, Kyoto Institute of Technology) Satoshi Nagano (Associate Professor, Faculty of Industrial Sociology, Ritsumeikan University) Ms. Kirie Mori (Professor, Department of Childcare, Heian Jogakuin University Junior College) Regardless of the field or field, from the perspective of independent learning, there is a need to shift from one-way knowledge transfer classes, which have been common in the past, to learner-centered classes. “Active learning” is considered to be one of them. In this training, we will take up active learning and learn about the expected effects and problems. In addition, through workshops, we will create and peer-evaluate actual lesson design plans that incorporate active learning. |

| Date: | Saturday, December 14, 2019 14:00~16:00 |
| Venue: | Campus Plaza Kyoto, 4th floor, Lecture Room 4 |
| Overview | “Basic knowledge and workshop for creating a syllabus” Lecturer: Hitomi Asada (Associate Professor, Department of Early Childhood Education, Huacho Junior College) Shinji Matsumoto (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Bukkyo University) The syllabus plays an important role in ensuring a well-planned lesson. The items and contents that should be included in the syllabus are also diversifying. In this training, we will focus on the syllabus and consider the basic concepts and points to keep in mind regarding lesson design. In addition, through workshops, students will learn specifically about the consistency of higher-level educational policies and goals, such as curriculum policies (CPs) and diploma policies (DP), with individual subjects and classes. |

| Date: | Saturday, February 8, 2020 14:00~16:00 |
| Venue: | Campus Plaza Kyoto, 5th floor, Seminar Room 2~4 |
| Overview | “Workshop for Grading Using Case Methods” Lecturer: Ikuko Takao (Assistant Professor, Student Practice Support Center, Kyoto University of Pharmaceutical Sciences) Masahiro Nakagawa (Associate Professor, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Kyoto University of Advanced Science) It is desirable that the grading is convincing to the students to grasp the level of achievement in the class and that it encourages the students. To this end, it is important to establish fair and clear grading criteria and to clarify the evaluation method and criteria to students in advance. In this training, you will think about what kind of grade standards are valid and reliable, based on actual classes and examples of class evaluations. Through the exchange of opinions in individual and group work, students will explore the perspectives and methods that they should have when creating grade evaluations for their own classes. |

Implementation Report
This year’s training program was held six times from September 2019 to February 2020 at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with a total of 78 participants, more than last year.
In the free text of the participant questionnaire, “It was good to hear the voices of the faculty members who were actually teaching and thinking” [1st “FD Basic Knowledge”], “I learned a lot by listening to the opinions of faculty members from various universities, and it was good to be able to discuss common concerns at the tea party” [2nd “Lesson Design and Lesson Practice Workshop”], “It was a good opportunity to look back on the situation of support for students with disabilities at the university” [The 3rd “Learning Support and Special Needs Workshop”], “It was good to have the opportunity to honestly hear from faculty and staff members of other universities about specific initiatives and actual issues, and to share issues.” [The 4th “Learner-Centered Classroom Workshop”], “Faculty members who come from far away, veteran teachers, It was good to be able to interact with a variety of faculty members, including those who were new to creating a syllabus.” [The 5th “Basic Knowledge and Workshop for Syllabus Creation”], “It was a good opportunity to listen to the efforts of the teachers in the group and rethink their own evaluation methods,” and “The 6th “Workshop for Grading Using the Case Method”. It seemed that they were able to use it as a reference for improving the class.
