大学入学共通テストについて

～外部英検・記述式 導入延期その後の発表～　

　先々週１月２９日に、大学入試センターのホームページで「令和３年度大学入学者選抜に係る大学入学共通テスト出題教科・科目の出題方法等」および「問題作成方針」が発表されました。発表内容は、以前発表された実施要項から「記述式の部分をほぼ除いた内容」となっていました。このことから、記述式以外の(主に思考力・判断力を問う)内容は維持されるものと考えられます。以下の点を確認し、今後も情報の変化に注意しましょう。

【変更点】
・記述式に関する記載がそのまま削除された。（他の部分はそのまま）
・共通テストの成績提供日が１週間早くなった。（私立大学は２月２日から、国公立大学は２月４日から）

【具体的に】
・理科、地歴：引き続き「連動型の問題」（前問の答によって後の問いの答が変わる問題）が出題される。
・国語：マーク式のみの出題。近代以降の文章問題が大問２題で100点、古文が大問１題で50点、漢文が大問１題で50点。（センター試験と同じ）
　※国語の記述で出題されるはずだった内容を、どのようにマーク式に取り込むかは説明なし。
・英語：リーディング100点、リスニング100点の配点で出題される。（予定されていた通り）
・「数学I」「数学I・A」：記述式は出題されず、試験時間は７０分。　（センター試験は６０分）　
・「数学II」「数学II・B」：記述式は出題されず、試験時間は６０分。
　※試行調査の段階では、「当てはまるものをすべて選べ」形の問題（選択肢の中に正解がいくつあるか解らない問題）が出題されていたが、昨年７月頃に「出題しない」ことになった。
　※上記以外に、「余分な情報を含み、そこから必要な情報を抽出する長文型の問題」「会話文を読んで、目的を理解し、結論を引き出す問題」「原理そのものを（計算させずに）答えさせる問題」などは、共通テストの特徴であり、出題の方針として維持される見通し。

University Admissions Common Test

Postponed introduction of external English proficiency test
and description formula and subsequent announcement

On January 29 the week before last, "Subjects and methods of questions in the Common University Entrance Test for the 2021 University Entrance Selection" and "Exam creation policy" were announced on the website of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations. According to the previously announced implementation guidelines, the content of the announcement was "content excluding almost all parts of the description expression". For this reason, contents other than descriptive expressions (focus on thinking and judgment) are expected to be maintained. Check the following points and keep an eye on information changes.

[Changes]
The description of the descriptive formula was deleted as it was. (Leave the other parts as they are.)
- The date of providing the grades of the common test was advanced by one week. (Private universities from February 2 and national and public universities from February 4.)

[Example]
- Science and history: "interlocking problem" and (a question in which the answer to the previous question alters the answer to the next question) will continue to be the questions.
- Japanese: Only mark type questions. There were 100 points on 2 major questions for literary questions after the modern period, 50 points on 1 major question for classical literature, and 50 points on 1 major question for Chinese literature. (Same as the previous National Center Test for University Admissions)
* There is no explanation on how to incorporate the contents of the questions that were supposed to be given in the description of Japanese into the mark style.
- English: The test will consist of 100 points for reading and 100 points for listening. (as planned)
・"Mathematics I" "Mathematics I.A": No descriptive formula was given and the test took 70 minutes. (The center test takes 60 minutes.)
"Mathematics II" "Mathematics II and B": No descriptive formula was given, and the test took 60 minutes.
* At the stage of the trial survey, questions were given in the form of "Choose all that apply." (a problem in which you don't know how many correct answers there are in the options), but in around July of last year, "Don't ask questions".
* In addition to the above, "a long-form problem that contains extra information and extracts the necessary information from it" "a problem that reads conversational text and understands purpose and draws conclusions" and "a problem that causes the principle itself to be answered (without calculating)" are characteristics of the common test, and are expected to be maintained as the policy for the questions.
