COMPASS, developer of AI learning material "Qubena," launches "Academic Achievement Test (CBT)" for elementary and junior high schools ~Visualizes learning achievement with multifaceted questions including thinking, judgment, and expression, connecting to the next stage of learning~

COMPASS Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jun Sato; hereinafter referred to as COMPASS) has launched the "Academic Achievement Test (CBT)" for elementary and junior high schools, which allows for a multifaceted understanding of children's academic achievement. This test visualizes learning achievement through multifaceted questions that assess not only knowledge and skills but also thinking, judgment, and expression, thereby connecting to the next stage of learning. The CBT format, which can be administered on 1:1 devices, streamlines teachers' workloads and supports personalized learning through the utilization of learning data.

With the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's full transition to CBT for the National Achievement Test for All Students (hereinafter referred to as the National Test) approaching next year, the utilization of CBT in schools is a key theme for NEXT GIGA. The "Subject-Specific Survey" of the National Test is structured to measure not only knowledge and skills but also thinking, judgment, and expression. The measurement and visualization of multifaceted academic abilities are increasingly necessary not only for the National Test, which forms the basis of daily learning and regular CBT use, but also for daily learning and regular CBT use.

In response to these trends, COMPASS has developed and launched the "Academic Achievement Test (CBT)." The "Academic Achievement Test (CBT)" is a CBT-format academic achievement test service for elementary and junior high schools that can be administered on 1:1 devices. By posing a balanced mix of questions that assess knowledge, skills, thinking, judgment, and expression, it allows for a more three-dimensional understanding of subject comprehension. As it can measure achievement from multiple perspectives in relation to the learning objectives of the Course of Study, it can also be utilized for academic achievement tests conducted by local governments.

The CBT format enables the immediate return of academic achievement test results in digital data, allowing children to review while the information is still fresh in their minds and connect it to their next learning plan. As a further support for this cycle of review and proactive learning, the provision of an "Understanding Report (tentative)" that visualizes comprehension by unit based on individual results is also planned for the future. Additionally, a feature allowing students to work on "Recommended Problems (tentative)" based on the content of the "Understanding Report (tentative)" using Qubena's drill learning is planned, enabling a seamless connection between academic achievement tests and subsequent learning. The entire process from test administration to aggregation and analysis can be completed on the device, significantly reducing the operational burden on education boards and school teachers.
