One of the beginnings of this reform is the training of human resources who have the "ability to continue learning for a lifetime" that can respond to the declining birthrate, globalization, and deepening of AI in the future.The new high school curriculum guidelines are from the perspective of "what to teach" on the teacher's side, to the perspective of "what to learn", "what to learn", and "how to learn" from the perspective of the students. Instead, the theme of "how to learn" incorporates "independent, interactive and deep learning" (so-called active learning) and "inquiry".

　In response to these changes in learning, university entrance exams take the initiative in learning how to use knowledge and skills (thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability, etc.) from a one-point-by-point academic ability test that is biased toward knowledge. The three elements of academic ability nurtured by learning in a new high school are multifaceted, including the attitude of working on, the attitude of respecting diversity, and the ability to collaborate by making the best use of each other's goodness (ability toward learning and humanity). It is required to switch to an entrance examination that evaluates comprehensively.

　Among the three elements of academic ability, in order to evaluate the ability and humanity toward learning, it is conceivable to utilize interviews, group discussions, and presentations, but new learning processes and results at the high school stage. Attention is being paid to process-evaluation-type university entrance exams that utilize the e-portfolio that has accumulated.

　In addition, how to evaluate the results of "independent, interactive and deep learning" and "inquiry", which are new learnings that begin in high school, is an issue.It is possible to evaluate not only by observing the results and daily attitudes, but also by the students' awareness accumulated in the e-portfolio.Furthermore, there are expectations that the accumulation of these processes will lead to visualization of learning in high school, and will lead to reform of high school education such as learning evaluation and curriculum management.

　The construction of this e-portfolio is being promoted by the public and private sectors, and in this issue, we will introduce the mechanism, purpose and aim of one of them, the high school connection portal site JAPAN e PortFolio (JeP) that started last fall.

Construction and introduction of high school e-portfolio progresses Part 1

High school connection portal site JAPAN e-PortFolio started, new entrance examination model demonstration project started

 
What is JAPAN e-PortFolio (JeP)?
　The basis of the efforts is the field of independence, etc. * 2016 among the "5 fields of university enrollment selection reform promotion consignment business" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, which started in 1, and the business name "" Independence, etc. " Research and study of evaluation methods that do not depend on subject or subject, such as interviews and document screening for more appropriate evaluation. "Regarding the outline, "In order to more appropriately evaluate the" independence, etc. "of the three elements of academic ability * 3, we will collaborate with the Board of Education, high schools, etc., and practically conduct surveys, documents to be submitted, interviews, etc. How to utilize it, build an e-portfolio at the high school stage and an application system via the Internet, develop evaluation scales and criteria for "independence, etc." ", and JeP will use ICT as an entrance examination model. Positioned as a platform for.

　Students can directly access and create individual portfolios as if it were a portal site where activities of high school life can be recorded and reviewed as an e-portfolio (* However, ID and PW are for each school from the viewpoint of personal information management, etc.) Issued at).What can be recorded is a record of exploratory activities that are indispensable for evaluation of independence, etc.-Starting with the process of setting tasks, references, experiments, surveys, dissertations, field studies, presentation data, and in some cases records of visits to university laboratories. , Participation records and results of various contests-, extracurricular activities and club activities, various activities inside and outside the school such as volunteers, overseas study experience, qualification / certification test results, etc.The important thing here is for the student to enter "awareness".For example, a failure in an experiment emphasizes the learning process of what students are aware of and how they have worked towards the next experiment (never only successful outcomes are evaluated).

　Since the records of inquiry activities are accumulated in this way, it is expected to be utilized in process evaluation in comprehensive selection (AO entrance examination so far) and school recommendation type selection (recommendation so far).It also has a function for faculty members to approve various activities, which can be used for selection to evaluate past achievements, and is also considered to be linked with digital survey reports that are being considered for introduction in the future. In addition, we will also consider the evolution to a university enrollment acceptance system with a unified format.In addition to making use of the evaluations of high school teachers, it is thought that the results of high school education reform will be visualized and reforms based on data will be possible by utilizing big data.

Why now, portfolio, e-portfolio?
　The movement to record learning and various activities using the portfolio and utilize it for personal reflection, evaluation and guidance has been in full swing in line with the 10 revision of the course of study that incorporates "zest for life". I have seen many practices in elementary and junior high schools.However, in high schools, many of the university entrance examinations have evaluated mainly the results of academic ability tests, so they have hardly become widespread.However, in the new entrance examination, some difficult national universities are trying to increase the capacity of school-recommended selection and comprehensive selection, and even general selection with many examinees (general entrance examination so far) cannot be measured by academic ability test alone. As it was said that gender would be evaluated, the weight of the survey report increased and expectations for the portfolio increased rapidly.However, it is expected that the selection process on the university side will take manpower and time for the new entrance examination, and that the content of the survey report will expand and the burden on the high school site will increase in the next course of study linked to the university entrance examination reform, so ICT will be adopted. There is also a trend toward e-portfolio construction, and the movement toward e-portfolio construction is accelerating.

* XNUMX In addition, there are the humanities and social fields (Japanese language department), the same (geographical history department, civilian department), information field, and science and mathematics field.
* XNUMX Attitude to learn in collaboration with various people with independence such as knowledge / skills, thinking ability / judgment ability / expressive ability (“ability toward learning, humanity, etc.” in the course of study).
