(1) Ogasawara, the head investigator of this project, analyzed the processes of the reform in higher education in l990s in special reference to that of general education and proposed possible features of undergraduate and graduate education in 21st century in research universities. He also reported on the realities of education reform in some of the universities he visited in the US and Europe. (2) Nishimori investigated what was happening in classes of mathematics in Japanese universities and concluded that teachers had to make, to cope with the change of students' attitude, a great effort to teach interactively in their classes. (3) Kobayashi made comparative study of the reform of general education in Hokkaido University and Portland State University. (4) Hosokawa reported the perspective of the CAI software and its contents, and the urgent importance of the one based on Web to our university education.
