For the second time in the series, the university entrance examination was given to Professor Eiichi Kajita, the president of Naragakuen University, who was involved in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for many years and was also the first chairman of the expert meeting in the National Academic Achievement and Learning Situation Survey. We asked about the reform and the attitude required of the examinees who are facing the transformation period.
Think about what you really want
At the end of last year, the high school and university system reform meeting made a report on the reform of university entrance exams, and the forum for discussion will finally move to the university that is the implementing body.After the war, three or four types of common tests for university entrance exams, including those for a short period of time, have been conducted. Including the revision, the interest of not only the examinees but also the society is increasing.
In 2020, the "University Admissions Applicant Academic Ability Evaluation Test (tentative name)" will begin in place of the National Center Test for University Admissions.The previous year, the "High School Basic Achievement Test (tentative name)" was held.In both cases, full-scale implementation is said to be based on the implementation of the next course of study after 2023, but it is also said that this series of reform plans will be included as much as possible in the recommended entrance examinations and general entrance examinations of each university. ing. While hearing the footsteps of 2020, ask experts for tips on learning for the future.
The scenery I saw someday
《In the developed countries of the world, there is now a trend to develop human abilities from multiple perspectives.In the first place, there are cases where the answer is uniquely determined for problem solving, and there are cases where some solutions come out as you work on it.Therefore, it is outdated to try to do a common primary examination for university entrance examinations only by the mark sheet method, which can only ask questions whose answer is uniquely determined.We should also incorporate essay formulas. >>-I said at the House of Representatives Education Committee, who was called as a witness.About a year ago, it was March 1977, 52 (Showa 3).
In 1975, it was decided to introduce a common test for university admission applicants and to open a university entrance examination center (1977) to ease the excessive competition for entrance exams and to free the examinees from difficult and strange questions. I did.Prior to that, the House of Representatives Education Committee invited experts to hear their opinions, and at that time, I was studying how to measure and evaluate academic ability at the National Institute for Educational Policy Research (currently the National Institute for Educational Policy Research). I got a voice.I have announced that the American SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) will adopt a descriptive formula in one of the two types, and among developed countries, about creativity in the 1s. I knew that the Gilford theory * 1960 of the SAT was predominant in the world, and that the trend was to measure academic ability (ability) from multiple perspectives. He opposed that doing so would lower the intellectual level of the country as a whole.An executive of the Ministry of Education, who was aware of the content of my statement as a reference in advance, came to the then director Masunori Hiratsuka when it was difficult for the staff of the directly controlled research institute to express doubts about what the country was trying to do. It seems that Director Hiratsuka allowed Kajita to express his opinion not from a political context, but purely based on research on testing and evaluation.
