[Call for Participants] Komaba Active Learning Workshop: Reflecting on Teaching: Making Classes More Active

Division of Educational Transformation, KOMEX organizes the “Komaba Active Learning Workshop: Reflecting on Teaching: Making Classes More Active” for university faculty, focusing on introducing and implementing active learning in classes.

In this session, we will hold a workshop where participants reflect on their own teaching practices and consider strategies to make their classes more active and engaging. Specifically, participants will recall their teaching experiences, visualize these experiences using blocks, and through explaining to other participants, exchanging ideas, and listening to mini-lectures, they will explore and discuss strategies for creating more active learning environments.

We warmly welcome both those who have previously attended Komaba Active Learning Workshops and first-time participants.
