The "High School Basic Achievement Test (tentative name)" that measures the basic academic ability of high school students will be implemented from 2019 under the name of "Basic diagnosis of learning for high school students", and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will discuss the detailed mechanism. The implementation policy was shown at the first meeting of the meeting.It has been said that basic diagnosis will be used for university entrance exams and employment, but we will further consider how to use it.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, for the time being, the basic diagnosis will cover three subjects: Japanese, mathematics, and English, with the upper limit being common compulsory subjects and some of the contents of the compulsory education stage.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology certifies and utilizes newly developed tests and private tests as "measurement tools".
The questions focus on questions that ask for knowledge and skills, and include questions that ask for thinking, judgment, and expressiveness in a well-balanced manner.Answers will be diversified by introducing descriptive formulas.Of these, English will be examined in the direction of measuring the four skills of "reading," "listening," "speaking," and "writing."High school can choose when and how many times to take the exam, which helps improve teaching.CBT, which conducts tests using a computer, is not mandatory for the time being.
Certification criteria will be established by the end of FY2017. After reviewing in 2018, we will make a list and publish it.From 2019, each high school will select and implement measurement tools according to the student's academic ability.
The introduction of basic diagnosis is part of the reform of high school connection including the common test for university admission, and the Central Council for Education announced in its 2014 report that it would be used for university entrance exams and employment. I will consider it based on that. "
