The article provides a theoretical and practice-oriented analysis of the experience of women educators in Japanese higher education in
developing students’ social responsibility. Social responsibility is interpreted as an integrative personal and competency-based quality
manifested in awareness of the common good, evaluation of the social consequences of one’s decisions, participation in civic initiatives,
care for others, and readiness for cooperation.
