This Movement were linked to 'new education', which was aimed at reforming the curriculum and teaching method through the shift from teaching to learning. The aim of Hochschulpadagogische Bewegungis in the first place to liberate students through improving teaching and teachers seminar about academic freedom with 'learning freedom'. The members of this movement were interested therefore in forming the academic didactics on the basis of andragogy, because students are adults. This fact and the strategy of movement proves them to be pioneers of Hochschuldidaktik boom today.
In Japan the academic freedom has focused on autonomy of faculty, so that student's freedom tends to be neglected. The self-education through reading as extracurricular activities was promoted. while the improvement of teaching was focused much later than in Germany and other advanced FD countries.
