The Knowledge-Based Society in 21st century requires innovation in colleges` roles and characteristics. The recent colleges stress researches on industry and school in industrialized society; they try to improve the quality of higher education and to have responsibility of instructing vocational education. However, professors do not have enough opportunities to consider about teaching methods. Thus, during the class, they often fail to demonstrate their actual experience. This is because they have not gained enough chances to improve professionalism of lecture. Therefore, colleges have to provide more opportunities to professors to improve their abilities of teaching. This paper proposes mentoring programs, portfolio, and micro-teaching for improvement of lecture.
