en-title=Chi no Tanken (Inquiries of Knowledge) meets Multicultural Collaborative Learning：Transforming a Japanese Online Course for Global Learners
kn-title=「知の探研」× 多文化共修 ―オンライン授業再構築の試み―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=Okayama University launched a new undergraduate curriculum in April 2025. As part of this reform, Chi no Tanken, a general education course required for incoming students, was introduced. This paper reports on the first-year implementation of the course, offered in English as Inquiries of Knowledge, for students in the Discovery Program for Global Learners, many of whom are international students. Reconstructing the on-demand online course from a multicultural collaborative learning perspective required more than simply translating the materials into English. It also necessitated developing pedagogical strategies to foster collaborative learning in the online environment and to integrate linguistic and cultural considerations.
kn-abstract=岡山大学では2025年4月入学生から新カリキュラムがスタートした。学士課程改革の一環として導入されたのが全学共通・課題探究科目「知の探研」である。本稿では，新入生対象科目である「知の探研」を，海外生を含むグローバル・ディスカバリー・プログラム生向けに英語で “Inquiries of Knowledge” として開講した初年度の取り組みを報告する。とりわけオンデマンド型オンライン授業を, 本学が推進する多文化共修の視点で再構築するにあたり，教材を単に英訳するのではなく, オンライン環境においても協働学習を実現する工夫や，言語的・文化的配慮の統合が不可欠であることを明らかにする。

kn-title=Who Cares ? Reflections on an International Multidisciplinary Symposium on Care Economy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=One of the targets under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to reduce and redistribute unpaid care work, which is mostly done by women, through the provision of public services and the promotion of shared responsibility. In February 2019, experts from academia and international organizations gathered at Okayama University for an international symposium focused on the issues around unpaid and paid care work in relation to gender equality and sustainable society. This paper will first briefly summarize the issues in care work, with a focus on childcare and elderly care in a Japanese context, followed by a discussion of the key points from the symposium related to care-centered economic and social policies.
