International Symposium on Creativity and Critical Thinking in Higher Education (Hybrid)
As visualisation of learning outcomes in higher education becomes a global challenge, growing interest emerged in how to foster creativity and critical thinking beyond knowledge and expertise limited to traditional disciplines. In this symposium, we will discuss the role of competency-based education as a cornerstone of transformative education in OECD’s discussions and the context of Japan, based on empirical research on environmental studies, service-learning and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) conducted at Sophia University and International Christian University.
