This year’s 12th Collaborative High School and University Education Forum will be held under the theme of “Connecting High School and University and Forming Academic Ability: Thinking about the Achievement Test (tentative name).” We look forward to your participation.
Outline of the event
The 12th High School-University Collaborative Education Forum
University entrance examinations are deeply linked to the school system and social structure of the country. In Japan, the premise of the academic achievement test is that a nationwide common educational curriculum has been established, and it is obligatory that the exam questions be first published and that they be published after the fact. However, these are also things that are unique to Japan from a global perspective. In the current reform of entrance examinations, the implementation of multiple common examinations, graded evaluations, the introduction of IRT (Item Response Theory), and the use of computers are also on the table for discussion. I would like to consider the realistic possibility of a “achievement test (tentative name)” including such issues.

It is often said that Kyoto became a tourist city after the middle of the Edo period. According to travel records, it seems that sightseeing in Kyoto at that time was centered on visiting shrines, temples, and famous sites, just as it is now. At the same time, Kyoto at that time saw a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment performances. The existence of these facilities and entertainment is thought to have been one of the pleasures of traveling for those who visited Kyoto. In this lecture, I would like to introduce these situations while showing specific materials.
