Description

<p>　 This article will discuss the collaboration between the Japan Association of Higher Education Research and the Liberal and General Education Society of Japan by comparing the two organizations. Whereas the Japan Association of Higher Education Research has traditionally adopted a macroscopic approach of studying higher education in general, the Liberal and General Education Society of Japan has primarily taken a microscopic approach, focusing on reviews of individual classes by responsible faculty members to improve their own educational methods. During the past 10 to 15 years, however, increasing numbers of academicians have begun to join both organizations, steadily blurring the distinction between the two organizations. Although the individuality of respective localities is essential in educational programs, expressing this very individuality entails reference to universal categories; in addition to describing the context and background of specific educational programs, along with the diversity of students, the individuality must be described by referring to universal concepts, such as society, culture, history and institutions. In this sense, it will be important for the two organizations to fill the existing gap between theory and practice.</p>
