GRADUATE SCHOOL OF COMPREHENSIVE  HUMAN SCIENCES 1st FD PROGRAM2025


1.Aim and purpose


This project aims to organize and institutionalize FD, which consists of two levels, TA (Teaching Assistant)-TF (Teaching-Fellow), and to implement FD activities for the development of future university personnel.

This time, we have asked faculty members from the Master’s and Doctoral Program in Psychology, Doctoral program in Human care science, Doctoral Program in Medical Sciences Studies to give model classes demonstrating the attitude and necessary skills when teaching as a TF.

As in past years, we welcome participation by graduate students who have become TFs, graduate students who aspire to become TFs, as well as faculty members and others from all parts of university.
