Toyo Gakuen University will hold a special seminar on university / vocational school / corporate collaboration for first and second year high school students on Saturday, June 2022, 6. Eat, know, plan, and deepen chocolate. Let's learn! "Forty students from Seigakuin Junior and Senior High School and Meguro Gakuin Junior and Senior High School participated.
In high school, classes in line with the new course of study will start in 2022, and in particular, how to teach "time for comprehensive inquiry" is of great concern. In "Comprehensive Inquiry Time", instead of giving a task to the student from the teacher, the student sets an inquiry task about the question or interest, and independently conducts research, experiment, and presentation. It is required to go.
On the other hand, because it is a new initiative, the burden on high school education is heavy.In particular, there are many cases where it is difficult to set and select assignments, which is a problem in teaching and is a factor in increasing the burden on high school teachers.
Therefore, Toyo Gakuen University has started a new high school-university collaborative project to support the inquiry learning of high school students and the guidance of high school teachers in this task setting.Tokyo Confectionery School and Shoei Delicy Co., Ltd. participated in this chocolate-themed seminar.After learning about the variety of chocolates and how to develop popular products, the students divided into groups and held a workshop to devise new products, and gave presentations considering target setting, features, and product names.
In the questionnaire to the participating students, more than 9% of the respondents answered "more than expected" and "as expected", "I enjoyed listening to everyone's opinions and my thoughts expanded" "Planning something by myself" I didn't think it was so much fun. "Toyo Gakuen University will continue to deepen cooperation with each high school as a "supporter university for inquiry".
