| Research Abstract |
We have started this research as a germinative basic research on the development of the system awarding the credits and the degrees by the examination to the academic results of the independent studies such as personal prior experiential learning or sponsored learning. In this research we set up the following purposes of the basic research on the future possibility of the development of this system in Japan.
(1)The theoretical rationale on the crediting of experiential learning, (2)the standards, principles and procedures for assessing experiential learning, (3)the learning content and corresponding subjects to be assessed, (4)the assessment system and organization, (5)the preparation and the inservice training of the assessors and evaluators.
According to these purposes, the head investigator, Mr.Kaneko, introduced in detail 10 standards and the principles and procedures through each 10 steps for assessing sponsored learning and prior experiential learning under the title of "Standards, Principles & Procedures for Assessing Experiential Learning--General Overview--". In this paper he complemented (3)and (5) among those above-mentioned five purposes because he has already dealt with (1), (2) and (4) in another paper.
In the part 2 the investigator, Mr.Yamamoto, observed the various attempts to recognize the experiential learning of the adults in the business, institutions and agencies outside of schools through academic acrediting procedures based on special assessment standards in Japan under the title of "On the Possibility of crediting experiential learning in Japan". He dealt with several issues on the access to the schools including colleges and universities, relationships between vocational certificates and academic credentials and between learning careers and school careers of the people in the open university and credit-based high schools while referring to the policy changes of lifelong learning by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in Japan.
