Graduate Program in Educational Facilitation

Educational Facilitation refers to the aiding and assisting of educational institutions, beginning with schools, with the aim of employing various tools to support and empower learners with the ability to exercise independence. From developing educational programs and learning environments to facilitating class and small-group learning, the overall aim of the program is to nurture strong facilitators who can draw out the inherent capabilities of groups rather than act as leader figures that pull activities on various levels along.

Characteristics

With students in the work force who have practice in a variety of educational fields, as well as with students who wish to enter such fields in the future, we are researching educational tools and techniques that can be utilized in educational fields, such as case studies and on-site training. Therefore, we have adopted an exclusive evening class system (some classes are offered on Saturdays as well) where we respond to a wide variety of needs from foundational research in humans and human relations to applicable practices.
