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.

FY2025 University-wide FD/SD Activity Policy

Based on the university's medium- to long-term plan ("New Asia Future Map" Third Five-Year Medium-Term Action Plan - From Asia to Global) (established on March 24, 2022), the University-wide FD/SD Committee aims to "create an enjoyable university and interesting classes." In addition to continuing to operate a system for understanding and visualizing learning outcomes and analyzing surveys of graduating students, the committee will also conduct a university-wide review of the current FD/SD system and put in place a system that will enable more effective and efficient FD/SD activities.

1. Continuing to analyze campus surveys

We will continue to analyze the "learning outcomes understanding and visualization system" and "graduating student survey" that have been continuously conducted in each faculty and department, and use them to improve our curriculum and classes.

2. Sharing unique lesson examples

This academic year, we will once again be holding training sessions with the faculty members actually in charge of unique classes as Lecturer, focusing on examples of classes that have received high marks in campus surveys, in order to share know-how and other information.

3. Expansion of the implementation system for FD/SD activities

We will review the collaboration between the University-wide FD/SD Committee and each department's FD/SD committee to build a more effective FD/SD activity system. In addition, we will continue the divisions of FD and SD training clarified in 2024, and expand the follow-up environment for participants who are absent or want to review.

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.
