"Information" is required for general selection of national universities, and 6 subjects and 8 subjects are standard.

With the announcement of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, it was decided to deal with the former course students, which had been an issue. It was reported that it was decided to use the basic pattern.The formal decision is said to be made at the General Assembly of the Japan Association of National Universities at the end of January.Of course, the Japan Association of National Universities also understands that there is a large difference in the approach to "information" subjects between high schools, but that is not a problem that the Japan Association of National Universities deals with, but the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and each Board of Education should deal with it. It seems that this decision was reached as a problem.

That's true, but I think it's a real feeling that there is one more problem in the field of high school guidance.In many high schools, "Information I" is generally taken in the first year of high school.Even if the grade progresses, such as English, Japanese, and mathematics, if it is related to the content of study, knowledge and thinking are connected even if the subject was taken in the first year of high school.However, this is not the case with "Information I".It must be said that it is a new burden to leave a blank for a while after taking the course and start studying for the exam again in the third year of high school.

If this becomes an old course student, the burden will be even heavier because there is a blank for more than a year more than the active student.Even if each university keeps the score of "old information" low, it does not mean that the weight as a compulsory examination subject is lost.

Will the number of graduates who dislike the "information" required examination and take the 2025 entrance examination decrease?

There was a time when the new course entrance exam was considered to be advantageous for the students who studied in the old course.This is because the content to be learned decreased each time the course of study was revised.This was not a reduction of learning content, but was called "selection".However, since the "controversy over academic decline" in the early 2000s, it has become difficult to say that old students are always advantageous.

Also, from the standpoint of an examinee, there are cases where it is necessary to prepare for entrance exams for subjects that are different from the subjects that he learned in high school, and there are cases where the content is different even with the same subject name, which is a heavy burden. is.This time, more "old information" required exams will be added, so many students dislike re-challenge for the 2025 entrance exam and are thinking of entering university even if they lower their aspirations when they are active (2024 entrance exam). It is also expected to be.

However, not all examinees aspire to national universities.Some students take the challenge again with the aim of becoming a private university.However, the number of difficult private universities that mainly use the entrance examination method that requires the common test for university admission is increasing.Therefore, attention is being paid to dealing with the "old information" of difficult private universities in the future.

In addition to that, the publication of the prototype problem of the "information" subject, which is scheduled to be around the fall and winter of 2022, is drawing a lot of attention. Since the prototype problem of "old information" will be announced, graduates may be advantageous depending on the content of the selection problem of "society and information" that does not deal with programming.Score adjustment is scheduled to be carried out, but the average score difference will not be 20 points or more and will be within the difference of more than 10 points, and if the score adjustment is not done, the graduates will keep the advantage there 2 It is possible to take the next exam.On the other hand, if the prototype question is closer to the new course "Information I", there may be no graduates in the 2025 entrance exam.
