Marugame City Regional Inquiry Learning Program
丸亀市広域探究学習プログラム
【Program Overview & Purpose】
Today’s society has entered what is known as the VUCA era, a time when the future is difficult to predict. On a global scale, rapid changes continue without pause: lifestyles have evolved due to COVID-19, Web 3.0 is advancing rapidly, and technologies such as Chat GPT and generative AI are having a significant impact worldwide. These changes are so significant that even educational institutions are now establishing guidelines for the use of AI.
For the next generation to thrive in this changing society, it is becoming essential to gain real-world experiences and practical skills that help them survive and contribute to building a better society.
With this in mind, we define the current stage as the Educational Travel 3.0 era and aim to provide opportunities for inquiry-based learning through travel experiences.
This program takes place in Marugame City, a regional city, and focuses on themes unique to this area. By emphasizing connections with the community and collaborative problem-solving, the program incorporates Project-Based Learning (PBL) and active learning. It offers a comprehensive learning experience that extends before departure and after returning home.
