Pre-service teacher education is highly important at research-focused universities. At such institutions, training is mostly centered on conducting research while there is minimal focus on educating students in course design and teaching. To bridge this gap, the Center for Education in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Teaching and Learning Support Division at Osaka University has established an advanced liberal arts program called the Future Faculty Program (FFP). This program targets graduate students wishing to pursue a career in academia. Having completed the program herself, the presenter will provide the audience with a reflective report on the FFP, its strengths and limitations.

Editor's Notes
- Founded in 2013 Six-year funding from MEXT for FD From 2019 University funding Faculty development before 2013 Existed but was not centralized FD workshops in English by Prof. Arikawa and Prof. Takemura Each department had its own FD too (sometimes out-sourced)
- 教育支援 《教職員向け》 キャリア開発・学習支援 《大学院生/学部生向け》 ICT教育支援 《教職員向け》
- MOOC / 広報物 / コンサルティングサービス
- As a research-focused institute of higher education, Osaka University has many students who wish to stay in academia; therefore, such a program is a must.
- １〜９書いた番号は教科書のユニットの番号です。 The numbers refer to the units of the textbook.
- Advanced Training in Pedagogy
- You make your research plan following the SoTL approach. You prepare for job hunting by writing your philosophy of teaching/research/contribution to society.
- FFP I is the prerequisite. It’s quite similar to FD programs. It’s the most general course, not only limited to higher education but also very important for any teacher. FFP II is unique to Osaka University. FFP III, SoTL program only practiced in pre-FD but not FD
- Alumni Trip: 勉強会 Some are now faculty members and engage in SoTL research. They also conduct collaborative research projects with the TLSC team.
- Learning objectives (Bloom’s Taxonomy) Graphic Syllabus SoTL
- Language barrier Creating a similar program in English Reaching out to more international students
- This program and similar ones could greatly help graduate students (in particular those from non-education-related backgrounds) to develop their academic teaching skills, expand their network, and be better future faculty!
- Similar to FFP I + parts of FFP III (career path) Non-credit program over 8 days Alumni network
- Pioneer Non-credit two-day workshop Intensive credit course similar to FFP I School of Letters pre-FD for overdoctors CPEHE center for the promotion of excellence in higher education, Kyoto University
- Funding from MEXT for FD at Tohoku University and other universities Similar FFP program for any Tohoku area graduate student and new faculty members (junior faculty) Non-credit Tohoku University students and new faculty can go to Berkley to participate in FD programs there
- Hokkaido University & Hiroshima University are active.
- The Future Faculty Program as a great initiative at national universities such as Osaka University could be a model for other universities to start their own pre-FD programs. The need for such programs in English is also greatly felt.
