The Japan Association of National Universities has announced that it will impose long-form descriptive questions on all students taking the national university secondary exam in line with the "University Entrance Applicant Academic Achievement Test (tentative name)" scheduled to be held from 2020.The specific content is left to the judgment of each university, but we aim for advanced questions that evaluate logical thinking and judgment.
According to the Japan Association of National Universities, in addition to the method of creating long-form questions for the secondary exam at each university, we will also consider how to create common questions at multiple universities and impose questions created by the National Center for University Entrance Examinations in the secondary exam.Until now, only about 2% of the national university recruitment capacity has imposed descriptive questions in Japanese, essays, and general questions.For this reason, we aim to build a system that can evaluate thinking ability, judgment ability, and expressive ability regardless of humanities or science.
Initially, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology had set a new test for long-sentence questions from 2024, but in response to voices such as "The thinking ability of examinees cannot be measured only with short-sentences," it will be implemented from 2020 at the same time as the short-sentences. Turn the policy. He presented a plan to ask a short sentence question of 80 characters or less and a more advanced long sentence question of 80 characters or more at the same time.
On the other hand, the Japan Association of National Universities needs to design the questions for descriptive questions so that they can be used by all national, public and private universities. He also said that the long-sentence question should not be used for the primary exam as it can be confusing.
