On March 26th at 1:00 PM, we will hold a joint symposium with the Fukuoka City Board of Education titled “Co-creating Educational Environments in a Digital Society: Next-Generation Education Guided by Educational Data and ICT, presented by Fukuoka City × Kyushu University” (hybrid format).

For the past several years, we have been conducting joint research with the Fukuoka City Board of Education, Fukuoka Municipal Fukuoka Seiryo High School, and Fukuoka Municipal Fukuoka Girls’ High School to support the improvement of teaching quality by utilizing the digital learning material distribution system “B-QUBE” and the learning behavior analysis dashboard “Metaboard.” Furthermore, since last year, we have been developing joint practical research utilizing educational data, such as a VR system to support the acquisition of picture book reading skills in childcare worker training, the use of VR in world history, card games for career exploration classes, and the practical application of game play logs, which is truly evolving into a form of educational environment co-creation research. However, we are still only halfway there, and there are still challenges that need to be addressed.

In this symposium, we have invited Professor Kosuke Terashima from Osaka Kyoiku University to deliver a keynote speech on education co-created by teachers and students through the use of educational data and ICT, as well as the points that should be considered toward that end. Following this, we will report on the results of our joint research with two Fukuoka City schools and hold a panel discussion. We hope to advance the discussion toward creating educational environments that utilize educational data, incorporating perspectives from teacher education, educational methodology, information system development, as well as from the educational field and administration.

If you are interested, please feel free to join us.

As the use of digital learning materials and the development of online learning environments progress from primary and secondary education to higher education,
In school settings, learning logs are now being accumulated on a daily basis, and for the way of class improvement and learning support
Significant changes are taking place. Furthermore, in recent years, various AI technologies, including generative AI, have spread rapidly,
Tools to support learner thinking, assistance in creating teaching materials, advanced feedback, and other new
The possibilities for educational practice are expanding.

Amidst these environmental changes, how can we utilize data obtained from learning logs and AI tools for educational improvement?
To that end, what kind of goal setting should be established, and what kind of learning and instructional support solutions should be designed?
is being questioned. Data utilization policies, the purpose of technology adoption, theory-based design,
And only when collaboration with schools is integrated can a data-driven educational and learning environment be established.
Now is the time to engage in discussions to build the next generation of learning, while navigating between the possibilities of technology and the essence of education.

Fukuoka City is conducting joint research with Kyushu University utilizing student learning logs and virtual reality (VR),
Behavioral data and learning logs accumulated through digital teaching material distribution systems are used for class improvement and personalized
We are expanding practices that link to learning support and skill acquisition support utilizing VR. In this symposium,
Visualization of learning using learning dashboards, ICT support for inquiry-based learning, and experiential learning using VR,
We report on various practical examples utilizing digital technology. In the keynote speech, we discuss class improvement utilizing ICT and
We will be inviting Professor Kosuke Terashima from Osaka Kyoiku University, who has been conducting research on teacher training for many years.

Furthermore, in the panel discussion, regarding the research project being conducted as a joint study, Kyushu University, Fukuoka Seiryo High School,
