Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project accomplished the following four points: 1) Development of the test analysis system that enables us to report the test results visually and dynamically. 2) Research on usage of the testing technology abroad, especially in the United States, the United kingdom, the Netherlands, and international organisation such as the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). 3) Research on item development in non-subject based tests, such as innovative domain. Concretely, creative thinking and global competences. 4) Development in the advanced testing technology based on computer-based testing. Especially, we focused on the management of the non-subject based testing and test item itself.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究プロジェクトは，英国ケンブリッジ大学に加えて仏国の国際機関である経済協力開発機構の教育局において遂行されたが，これらの機関では試験実施デバイスについて紙筆型の試験からコンピュータ端末による実施へと転換している．そして，世界各国において，彼らによって実際に運営される試験システム・運用が稼働しており，単に研究上の進展だけでなく，研究テーマとなっている先端的試験技術について実際の試験オペレーションについて検討を重ねることができた．このことは，我が国において進められている高大接続改革への還流が大いに期待されるものである．
