XNUMX. About "High School Basic Achievement Test" (tentative name)

The purpose of the implementation is not to ensure the quality of high school education by the national government, but to "measure and evaluate" the academic ability of high school students and to "improve" education based on the results. I think that we want to connect to "quality assurance" by doing "".In other words, it is a "goal / desire" that wants to motivate those who are not motivated to learn.This is a desire of the state, the board of education, and the school, and not all students and parents share it, so it must be said that it is difficult to implement it "for a fee".It is said that it will be introduced as one of various evaluations along with the certification conducted at commercial high schools or private certification exams, but even if it is said that it is "similar to the certification exam" that it is originally motivated to take it. , It is a rice cake drawn in the picture.
In the true sense of "quality assurance," students and parents have no choice but to request it, so I think it can be "paid."It may be included in the tuition fee.

　Another purpose is to show that this student is such an "evaluation", that is, to "guarantee the evaluation result". The purpose of the "University Admissions Achievement Evaluation Test" (tentative name) is the same.Based on this evaluation result, if the university, vocational school, or other place of study or employment is decided, the students / guardians will desperately hope for a fee.

This "improvement" and "guarantee of evaluation results" can be overwhelmed by trying to do it in one test. If it is "improvement", the upper layer of the examinee (not the upper layer of all high school students) does not have to worry too much, and it should be a wide problem below so that the difference in power between the middle to low layers can be measured. Must be.Also, when it comes to "evaluation," the upper ranks must be sorted into pass / fail, so a wide range of problems is required.Both of these are required for the new test at the same time, so I think it will be difficult to achieve without the CBT-IRT in place.

From the point of view of "improvement", I have doubts about the fact that the required courses in the XNUMXst year will be targeted in the XNUMXnd and XNUMXrd years.Looking at the results, the school / board of education can use it as the original data for formulating policies for students from the next year onward, but how do you plan to improve the individual students who took the exam?Is it left to the individual, or what kind of system should the school provide guidance on subjects that have already acquired credits and have not actually taken?Both bookkeeping and Eiken are taught by teachers, especially volunteers, but both are challenges for students to acquire new things and new abilities.However, even if the basic academic ability test is used as a part of career guidance, that is, as an index that influences advancement and employment, teachers and students are not motivated to supplement the courses that they have already acquired.The goal of being independent in society and surely acquiring the basic academic ability necessary to participate in and contribute to society is correct, but it does not seem to come with any results.

Considering the purpose of "evaluation", first of all, in the employment examination.There is a statement that you should not decide whether to pass or fail based only on the results of the basic academic ability test, but I think it is natural for a company.If the minimum academic ability required for each company and occupation can be confirmed, the rest will be decided by personal evaluation or aptitude test.Of course, we know that there is a difference in academic ability in high schools, so we will check it with our own exam, not the grade evaluation created by the high school.If the minimum academic ability required by the company matches the evaluation of the basic academic ability test, it may be used as it is, but I think that many will not use the basic academic ability test and will impose their own paper test. ..
It seems that university entrance exams with low selection ability are in mind, but such universities may enroll even if the basic academic ability test is XNUMX points, so the evaluation result of this test is selected. Not a big factor.Universities with a high selection system do not use this test in the first place. The same applies to AO / recommendation entrance exams.Then, about half of the high school students go on to school, the upper half is highly selective, and even AO / recommendation is passed from there, and a considerable number of the remaining lower half will not give much importance to evaluation, so this test I imagine that less than XNUMX% of high school students will be selected by utilizing.After all, I feel that it is not often used as an "evaluation".
