A Research Presentation was held at the Gifu University Faculty of Education- Affiliated Elementary School on June 24, 2017. Under the theme of "Children's Education for Proactive and Cooperative Studying," open classes for each subject and general meeting were held in the morning, and subcommittee meetings and a symposium were held in the afternoon. Many teachers and people working for educational fields attended this event from in and outside of Gifu Prefecture.

In the opening classes, participants discussed the followings: how to define cooperative studying at different developmental stages of children, create the environment for children to discover new values through proactive and cooperative studying, reflect on their studying and contemplate future studies.
