探究学習が変わる？推薦・高校入試にも関わる新方針

Is Inquiry-Based Learning Changing? New Policies Affecting Recommendation-Based and High School Entrance Exams Based on the materials distributed at the 8th meeting of the "Curriculum Committee Working Group on Life, Integrated Learning, and Inquiry Time" published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology on July 3, 2026, this article explains how inquiry-based learning will change from a practical perspective. Key points include inquiry that goes beyond "research and presentation," thematic inquiry and personal inquiry, the information domain in elementary school integrated studies, assessment that reflects growth, and its connection to recommendation-based entrance exams, comprehensive selection, and high school entrance exams. Inquiry-based learning is no longer just an activity within school classes; it is also becoming material for students to discuss "what they thought and how they acted" in career guidance and entrance exams. This article summarizes the points that school teachers, cram school teachers, and parents should be aware of. ▼ Timestamps 0:00 Opening 1:40 Why Inquiry-Based Learning Now? 4:10 The Quality of Inquiry Depends on the "Quality of the Problem" 7:00 Themed Inquiry and Personal Inquiry 10:10 "Information Domain" in Elementary School Integrated Studies 12:50 How Will Inquiry be Evaluated? 15:40 Points of Interest for Educators ▼ Related Videos ・[Officially Decided] Interviews to Become Mandatory for Entrance Exams This Year | How Will Comprehensive Selection and Recommendation-Based Entrance Exams Change?    • 面接ゼロで2万人が殺到…年内入試に面接必須化へ｜東洋大・近大はどうなる   ・The Relationship Between Comprehensive Selection and Inquiry Activities as Seen from N High School's College Entrance Results    • 通信制で東大3名・海外325名合格｜N高が「進学校」になった日   ・Middle School Science is Changing | Emphasis on Inquiry in the Revised Curriculum Guidelines    • 中学理科が変わる｜学習指導要領改訂で"探究"重視へ転換する6つのポイント｜文科省「教...   ▼ Reference Materials ・Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology "Curriculum Committee" "Working Group on Life and Integrated Learning/Inquiry Time (8th Meeting) Handout Materials" https://www.mext.go.jp/b_menu/shingi/... • Document 2-1 "Working Group on Life and Integrated Learning/Inquiry Time Summary Draft (Contents related to Integrated Learning/Inquiry Time)" https://www.mext.go.jp/content/202607... ▼ Inquiries For inquiries regarding information dissemination, training, and video production for educators, please contact us here.
