Exploratory learning is the best way to apply for college.

Hello, this is Kaburaki, GLI representative.

 

Does exploratory learning help me to take the exam?

I am often asked,Zuly 、、、、 can help!

 

To illustrate,

Exploratory Study → AO Entrance Examination
Examination-based learning → General entrance examinations

The figure is as follows.

 

once moreWhat is inquiry learning?"AboutTo review,Inquiry learning" is a class similar to a university seminar, in which students study a single issue in depth and clarify issues and questions.It is.

 

This isThis is very different from the examination-based learning that has been seen in the past, where students are tested to see if they have acquired and remembered knowledge.

 

Challenges and questions are, for example, the ones we've been hearing a lot about lately.The 17 challenges of the SDGs."It is.

How can we solve those issues? We will conduct that research, summarize the solutions, and present them.

 

This is the kind of teaching that takes place in inquiry-based learning. For example,

 

How can we eliminate poverty in developing countries?
How can we prevent global warming?
How can we prevent marine pollution by plastic waste?

 

As for the more narrow regional issues,

 

How can we revitalize the local shopping district?
How can we stop the population decline in our region?

 

This is a study to think about how to solve the problem of

 

I would say it is limited to schools,

 

How can we stop bullying?
Is student autonomy possible in schools?
Do schools need classes?

 

Such as.

 

To sum up.Inquiry learning is "setting an issue, conducting research, summarizing, and presenting.Learning.

 

This exploratory study will be in transition next year in high school,It will begin in earnest in 2022.It is a very important part of the process. So, you have a good understanding of inquiry learning! But,

 

Can exploratory learning help you get into college?

I am sure you are wondering about the It is a natural question.

 

Exploratory learning is very different from the classes we have been taking, and it is not a class that will score well on a test by itself by any stretch of the imagination.

 

Conclusion,The results of the exploratory study will be useful for the AO entrance examination.

 

Rather, it is to ensure that the AO entrance examination is institutionalized in order to firmly root the lessons of inquiry, which have high educational value.

 

of courseExploratory learning is not for entrance exams, but for the future. Exploratory learning is a way to develop the qualities needed in society.

 

Therefore, the goal isIt is a very meaningful educational method of learning, as the training can now be used for college entrance examinations.(I will explain this area in more detail in a future issue).

 

The following is a list ofThe University of TokyoBut this is an example of an AO entrance exam that can be taken due to the results of inquiry-based learning.

 

The University of Tokyo requires applicants to submit materials and papers related to their research activities, such as "what they have learned through integrated study time, independent research activities, and social contribution activities" (Faculty of Letters, The University of Tokyo), or to experience "activities that have produced remarkable results through leading roles" (Faculty of Engineering, The University of Tokyo) in social contribution activities, international activities, and club activities as examples of the requirements. In fact, some applicants have been accepted after submitting such achievements.

 

Ochanomizu UniversityIn the "New Humboldt Entrance Examination," an AO entrance examination initiated by the Humboldt Institute of Technology (Humboldt University), humanities candidates are required to research literature and other materials in the library and prepare a mini-report, which is then discussed, while science candidates are required to conduct experiments and analyze data.

 

Nagoya University, Faculty of LettersThe only AO entrance exam subject is the interview, in which you must clearly communicate the above activities in high school and your reasons for applying to the school. What do you think?

 

Inquiry-based learning will become a pillar of school education in the future, and at the same time, it will be useful for entrance examinations. In other words, the inquiry-based learning that will begin in high schools next year will be useful for the AO entrance exam, which is an entrance examination.This will be the case.

 

Keio SFChas been conducting AO entrance examinations for many years.For 2020, the number of AOs will be increased by 50 to 150 (out of a total of 375)will be.

 

law schoolbe beyond one's control80 students for both A and B methodsWe are looking forfield of early-blooming (or ripening) ricebe beyond one's controlIncreasing the number of AO quotas each year, led by the School of International Liberal Studies.I am here.

 

National and public universitiesAlso,The current recommendation entrance examination limit will be reduced from "no more than 30% of the total number of applicants" to "no more than 50% of the total number of applicants for both the recommendation and AO entrance examinations" in 2020.and its framework is to be expanded.

 

In summary,Until now, if you could not study well, you could not go to a (so-called) good university, but from now on, you can cope with university entrance examinations by digging thoroughly and deeply into what you like to do (this is the same as the Western-style entrance examination system (activity history + emphasis on motive for applying)).

 

If you have had a lot of overseas experience since you were a child, participated in volunteer activities, or dedicated yourself to one thing, why don't you open the door to your future through the AO entrance examination?

 

Isn't this a happy thing, to be able to use what you love to do to further your education?
