FD/SD activities

In recent years, amidst the rapid changes in the environment surrounding universities, society's expectations of university education are growing. In this context, faculty development (FD)- a systematic effort to help faculty improve and enhance the content and methods of their teaching - has become essential.
 
Furthermore, in order for the university to fully fulfill its mission, it is necessary to further enhance its operations. Therefore, we will provide staff development (SD) opportunities for faculty, university executives such as President, Administrative Staff, and technical staff to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for university operations and to improve their abilities and qualifications.
 
To promote FD/SD activities university-wide, our university has established a university-wide FD/SD committee chaired by the President, which carries out various initiatives throughout the year. In addition, each faculty and research school sets its own activity guidelines and carries out distinctive activities. In order to share information about these FD/SD activities and deepen their activities, Asia University "FD/SD Letter" is published twice a year.

University-wide Faculty Development (FD) and Staff Development (SD) Activity Policy for FY2026

Based on the university's medium- to long-term plan ("New Asia Future Map" Third Medium-Term Action Plan - From Asia to Global) (established March 24, 2022), the University-wide Faculty Development/Staff Development Committee will continue to promote the operation of the learning outcome assessment and visualization system and the analysis of graduating student surveys, utilizing student opinions and requests to improve educational activities, with the aim of realizing "a fun university and interesting classes."

1. Continuing to analyze campus surveys

We will continue to analyze the "Learning Outcome Assessment and Visualization System" and the "Graduation Student Survey" conducted in each faculty and department, which we have been doing on an ongoing basis until now, and use the results to improve the curriculum and classes.

2. Promotion of faculty development (FD) activities specific to each research school.

Each research school will promote its own faculty development (FD) activities and utilize them to improve research support environment and guidance system.

3. Initiatives to expand active learning

With the primary objective of increasing the implementation rate of active learning in classes (especially large and medium-sized classes), we will undertake initiatives to examine the nature, definition, dissemination, and utilization methods of active learning at our university.

4. Technical support and educational training to realize high-quality education utilizing ICT.

We provide technical and educational support to realize high-quality education that utilizes ICT, such as AI-powered classes and on-demand classes.

Summary results of class questionnaires by students

Student Survey for Improving Classes Since 2007, we have been conducting a university-wide "Student Survey for Improving Classes" once each spring and fall semester. The purpose of this survey is to find out students' understanding and opinions of classes and to use this information to create better classes.
