Hachioji CampusMind Journeys Unleashed: Flipping Classrooms and Shaping Futures at Hachioji Campus with Teikyology

On Saturday, January 8, 2022, at Teikyo University Hachioji Campus, a flipped classroom of "Interdisciplinary Course of Teikyology", a preparatory education for those who have passed the university through comprehensive selection and school recommendation type selection. We held a toclas room (flipped classroom). A flipped classroom is a class in which students who have prepared for the same content in advance participate and the students discuss the content of the preparation in the class.

On the day of the event, our university student staff called SCOT, who provide classroom consulting to instructors, provided reception, guidance, and advice on group work. As the approximately 70 high school students gathered in the classroom were tense, Hiroshi Uda, Associate Professor at our university's Center for Common Education, gave an introductory lecture that included an explanation of today's program. The participants were seen actively thinking about the questions asked by Associate Professor Uda, demonstrating the high level of awareness among the participants. After that, we divided into groups of about 6 people and introduced ourselves, and then decided on the group name, the role of the leader, and the role of the secretary. Many of the high school students were still nervous, and it was refreshing to see them slowly finding a starting point for the conversation after trying to figure it out for the first time, and proceeding with the discussion while receiving advice from SCOT students and faculty. The theme of the group work was "What is “One’s way”?", which is Educational Philosophy of our university, and was presented in a lecture that we watched in advance as part of the preparatory education for admission. While exchanging opinions, the scribes wrote their opinions on the whiteboard. Afterwards, we had lunch, and little by little we began to communicate, and opinions were actively exchanged, and we could see each group taking advantage of their individual approaches. The SCOT students said, ``We were surprised by the attitude of the high school students who were so proactive in sharing their opinions that they didn't need our own advice.'' The results of about 70 minutes of group work were expressed on a whiteboard, and then moved to the ACTrium, which is ideal for presentations, and each team made a 3-minute presentation. As each team presented “One’s way” ideas, Yoshihito Okinaga, President Chairman the university, listened with a serious expression on his face, but with a smile on his face throughout, and applauded. When all 11 teams had finished their presentations and it President time for Chairman Ukinaga to choose the grand prize, he thought a lot, saying, ``I'm sorry that all the teams' presentations were so amazing, and they made such a difference,'' before making the final decision. The presentations by six groups were selected for the top prize because they were judged to be logically organized, including the process.

This flipped classroom was also a valuable opportunity to experience college lessons before enrollment and make friends across departments. Unfortunately, I think there were some high school students who couldn't participate this time, but Teikyo University is looking forward to your admission.
