2017 Kyoto FDer Juku × University Education Power-up Seminar Joint Project
Theme: “Thinking about Quality Assurance in Education ~Toward a Qualitative Transformation and Improvement of Education with an Awareness of the Three Policies~”
Each university is required to change the quality of education by realizing university education based on the “Three Policies,” and in 2017, it became mandatory to formulate and publish the “Three Policies” as consistent and consistent. In addition, in the third phase of certification evaluation, the establishment of internal quality assurance will be asked as an important item.
Under these circumstances, there is an urgent need for each university to review the “Three Policies” and to develop and substantiate a system for the establishment of a PDCA cycle based on these policies. However, in order to achieve this, it is essential to instill understanding among individual faculty and staff and to make efforts to transform and improve the quality of education at the field level.
In the keynote speech, he will give a lecture on the background and purpose of why the “Three Policies” are emphasized as the starting point for quality assurance, and in the subcommittees, we will introduce case studies and workshops that are working to ensure and improve the quality of education at the middle and micro levels.

Case Study |
| (1) Yamagata University “Quality assurance of education at Yamagata University and Initiatives to Strengthen IR Functions Shigeru Asano (Professor, Faculty of Sciences, Yamagata University) ≪ Overview≫ Interest and expectations for Institutional Research (IR) among university officials in Japan remain high. In particular, as efforts to improve university education, such as grasping learning outcomes, quality assurance of education, and educational management, are strongly sought from outside the university, many universities are exploring the use of IR. In this report, we will review the research on IR in both Japan and the U.S. that the presenter has been working on, and introduce the efforts related to education quality assurance, including the formulation of three policies that are currently being implemented, and practical examples for strengthening IR. |

It is more of a CAPD cycle than a PDCA cycle. In this report, we will examine the similarities and differences between the two in a cross-sectional manner, including the improvement of first-year education in the Department of Business Administration of the Faculty of Contemporary Business, the improvement of practical evaluation in the School of Nursing, the improvement of education in the lower grades of the Faculty of Letters, and the improvement of education at the time of admission in the Faculty of International English. |

We will plan and operate with the goal of having participants take home an image of designing and operating by themselves. In addition, we will report and share examples of classes at universities and high schools in Hatenathon, examples of training for faculty and employees of educational institutions, examples of workshops with public participation, and examples of use in study groups, academic conferences, forums, etc. |

In the second half, three subcommittees were held at the same time, and in Session A, two universities introduced examples of how to ensure and improve the quality of education. First, Mr. Shigeru Asano, a professor at the Faculty of Academic Studies, Yamagata University, spoke about the development of an IR system for quality assurance of education and the actual status of initiatives, followed by Mr. Takero Nishino, a lecturer at the Center for Educational Development Support, Kyoto Tachibana University, who talked about efforts to improve education from the perspective of the “CAPD cycle.”
Subcommittees B and C were held as a power-up seminar on university education, and in Session B, Mr. Kenichi Sato, a professor at the Faculty of Integrated Life Sciences, Kyoto Sangyo University, gave a hands-on workshop on the “Hatenathon,” a learning place where students asked questions, and in Session C, Mr. Kazuharu Abe, a professor at the Faculty of Career Development, Kyoto Koka Women’s University, gave a hands-on workshop on formulating a plan for the PDCA cycle.
