Active Learning System Based on Comprehensive Learning Initiative Process at Kanazawa Institute of Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) has conducted educational reforms since 1995 and joined the CDIO initiative at June, 2011. In the present paper, first, an overview of the KIT engineering educational program is presented, including the 2012 curriculum which was developed after joining the CDIO initiative. Second, an active learning system based on a “Comprehensive Learning Initiative Process (CLIP)” is explained. KIT tries to foster comprehensive integrated abilities based on disciplinary knowledge as well as personal and interpersonal skills through classroom learning. Third, typical practical examples of the KIT approach are shown. Rather than being limited to the traditional course objective of scholastic achievements (academic knowledge and skills), KIT aims to cultivate more practical and integrated capabilities in the students by having them engage in active learning. Finally, the objectives of the KIT educational program are summarized: students are expected to develop personal and interpersonal abilities and skills, including 1) the ability to acquire knowledge, 2) the ability to think critically and creatively, 3) skills for collaboration and leadership, and 4) the ability express, present, and communicate ideas and knowledge.
