<実践報告>徳島大学におけるFD実施組織としての役割と機能 : 大学開放実践センターFD活動の事例分析より

Abstract

In 2008, faculty development (FD) became an obligatory part of undergraduate programs at Japanese universities. Therefore, educators must engage in practical & organizational FD activities. Concurrently, it is necessary to pay considerable attention to research in FD organization and FD networking to accommodate various aspects in a given period of change within higher education. In this paper we considered the roles and functions of an FD Center, the Center for University Extension (CUE) at the University of Tokushima. The first established three-year stage of Tokushima University's FD programs began in 2002. We have now completed the second stage of organizational development. This year we entered into the third stage of substantiating FD programs by enlarging, strengthening and networking the FD organization. We also considered the future development of the CUE as an FD center.
