This method is reaching its limits as the required abilities and educational objectives change globally toward Society 5.0.Isn't the statement made by the chairman of the Japan Business Federation about the batch recruitment of new graduates last year a symbol of this? It has been said that "Japanese people are strong in process innovation and weak in product innovation", that is, "I am good at producing what I can make more efficiently, but I am not good at making new things". ..However, as far as I can see the students of Kwansei Gakuin's two international schools * XNUMX, I realize that this is due to the way education, systems, and organizations should be.

One of the purposes of this reform of university entrance examinations is to break away from questioning only a part of human ability, which is the academic ability of subjects.It is undeniable that the awareness of developing abilities other than academic ability represented by deviation values, including the qualities required of entrepreneurs, has diminished in education.Under the new course of study, inquiry-based learning that fosters an "attitude to independently engage in learning" will be emphasized in junior high school and high school, and a different approach will be taken in the development of basic academic ability.As a university, we have enhanced the method of selecting enrollees who can firmly accept the efforts up to high school [left column], and we will show the power required by society in the future, the power that is needed by companies but not specifically shown, and innovation. We must focus on developing the power to produce.If Japan's education does not change here, society and the economy will be in a critical situation.

AI Utilization Human Resources Development Program and Kwansei Competency

From this spring, we started the "AI Utilization Human Resources Development Program" for all undergraduate students in collaboration with IBM Japan, Ltd.This is because even if you are a student who has a job that supervises sales or the field after graduating from university, you must know the knowledge of AI and how to give data to AI from now on.

It is also an urgent task to develop abilities that cannot be replaced by AI.From this point of view, the 10 Kwansei competencies (shown below) summarize the abilities and qualities that should be acquired by the time of graduation.

There are only two things related to knowledge and skills, and the "honesty and dignity" that the university emphasizes are incorporated.Originally, each faculty has a degree program, and each has three policies (AP, CP, DP): admissions selection, curriculum, and degree conferral, but most of them require knowledge level outcomes and outputs. In addition to these, we have positioned it as something that all students can wear regardless of the faculty.IR (Institutional Reserch: Necessary for university management) is necessary if the degree of achievement is measured by two surveys at the time of admission and at the time of graduation, and if the state of activity after going to work or society, or the results of entrance examinations are taken into consideration. It should also be a valuable resource for research and analysis, or its organization).
