Abstract

According to the Central Education Council’s December 2014 report, with the goal of developing human resources who survive globalized society, traditional knowledge-based education must be changed to logical thinking education. Specifically, the report appeals for the triple reform of senior high school education, university education, and of the university entrance examination system that bridges the two. In entrance examinations, the Council requested measures of examinees’ thinking ability, judgment ability, expression power, subjectivity, diversity, and cooperation using holistic evaluation, with knowledge and skills in subjects as a foundation. And the university will decide whether to accept the candidate. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed the installation process of the AO entrance examination in Japan, mentioned the selection method that works effectively for holistic evaluation, which has been cultivated to the present, and introduced the present situation’s advantages and disadvantages. In addition, we discussed the functions and roles of admission offices, which is expected to become the headquarters in each university, or the research theme, activities, and skills there based on my experience.
