Dr. Gabriel Hervas, Project Associate Professor at our Center, has published a new paper at the International Journal for Academic Development entitled “Public relations as part of the work of academic developers: a vignette on our role at a Japanese university” (https://doi.org/10.1080/1360144X.2022.2122474).
The full article is available at https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/VZYAQ8JVBETABQEDTDSD/full?target=10.1080/1360144X.2022.2122474
The paper responds to a new format launched by the journal (vignettes), and it was selected for a special issue on how we define the roles and the work of academic developers in Higher Education. In the form of a vignette, the paper illustrates how, while at some contexts it can remain imperceptible, doing public relations is an intrinsic part of the work of academic developers in Japan and it has a big impact on their day-to-day work.

This is an example of a senior high school class combined with biology, health and physical education, and home economics. Expert groups of four first do research on one of the multiple types of “prenatal diagnosis.”
Then, form jigsaw groups comprising each member from different expert groups and let them compare and examine the multiple types of “prenatal diagnosis.” And let them organize the differences, purpose, and advantages/disadvantages of each type.
Let the students return to their original group (i.e., expert group), organize what they discussed in jigsaw groups, and compose reports.
This example is more complicated than the one shown in the “Implementation” section, which is called “Knowledge Constructive Jigsaw.” It also comprises the method of “poster tour.”
Students can learn about the multiple types of “prenatal diagnosis” and their differences and deepen their understanding of how “prenatal diagnosis” is conducted in real clinical settings.
・It helps your students get along with each other by using it in the early stage of the course.
・It helps your students make it a habit to relate what they learned in the last class to what they will learn today.
・It helps your students clarify their memory and consciousness by outputting. It enables them to recall what they learned in the last class and relate it to what they will learn today.
・It helps your students realize the importance of how others learn by experiencing the difference in perspectives and expressions with other learners even if they are taking part in the same class.
