최근 일본 대학입학 시험에서 한국사 관련 문항 분석

Abstract

This paper compared and analyzed the Korean history-related questions covered in the two tests, including the purpose and test method of the University Enterance Examinations of Japan(‘Center Test’) conducted in 2020 and the Common University Enterance Tests(‘Common Tests’) conducted in 2021 by National Center for University Enterance Examinations. Common Tests and Center Tests have many similarities, first of all, in that they have a common purpose of "evaluating the basic abilities of high schools and determining the qualities required by universities," and the examination process has been held by several committees over two years. However, despite these commonalities, what changed most of all in Common Tests was the form of questions in which ''the scene of learning'' was conceived as shown in the basic idea of writing questions. Therefore, there were many forms such as conversational texts and presentations. In addition, various materials such as newspaper data, historical records, and maps were used. In this respect, the Common Tests overcame some of the problems of the Center Tests and was successful as a new test system. In addition, the questions related to Korean history are meaningful in that they have increased significantly in quantity, and it is not difficult to estimate that this was influenced by the trend of the third generation Korean Wave. However, the Common Test still seems to be a problem centered on memorization, and the form of description in which the facts of Korean history are listed together with Chinese history should be changed.
