Abstract

This paper introduces the university entrance examination system of the 21st Century Program in Kyushu University, and the visualization of academic achievement. The said program is the pioneer example of a university entrance examination based on comprehensive and multi-dimensional evaluation. As a result, Kyushu University succeeded in acquiring high-level students in accordance with an admission policy that seeks “highly specialized generalists.” However, the university entrance examination has been high-cost system, because testing for 26 students required an admission committee with over 30 faculty. Furthermore, using text mining on the learning portfolio of the program’s students (for example, proposal for admission, high school activity report, research plan, research report, graduation thesis summary, and so on), we have tried to visualize their academic achievement. As a result, we found a higher level of motivation in students whose GPA gradually rose over four years, rather than the students whoes GPA began at the top. Also, some students classified as “generalist type” lost sight of their purpose in academic learning at university.
