Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 2011Co-Authors: Y. HedjaziAbstract:The present study investigated the effect of Iranian university Entrance Examinations and the high school grade point average (HSGPA) on agriculture students' achievement. The population included 598 admitted students at the Faculties of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran. The specific variables of the study included college grade point average (CGPA) and average of major field specialized courses (FSGPA) as dependent variables. Also, scores in mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry at the university Entrance Examinations record (UEX), along with high school grade point average (HSGPA) were the independent variables of the study. The results indicated that high school grade point average (HSGPA) was a significant predictor of agriculture students’ academic achievement. With the exception of Food Sciences, there was no significant relationship between the scores in mathematics and students’ academic achievement in fields related to agriculture.

current issues in large scale educational assessment in japan focus on national assessment of academic ability and university Entrance Examinations
Assessment in Education: Principles Policy & Practice, 2016Co-Authors: Naoki Kuramoto, Rie KoizumiAbstract:AbstractCurrently, large-scale testing in Japan faces conflicting requirements derived from principles of education on the one hand, and measurement, on the other. Issues of affective ambivalence towards tests (i.e. test aversion and dependence) are also observed. The seemingly conflicting government discussions regarding the national assessment of academic achievement at primary and middle schools, and reforms to university Entrance Examinations, are discussed here in terms of these issues.

stress related growth in japanese adolescents experiencing high school Entrance Examinations
Current Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Shuhei IimuraAbstract:High school Entrance Examinations and preparation for them have become a highly stressful experience for many Japanese adolescents. This study examined the relationship between stress-related growth (SRG) and distress resulting from these exams from the perspective of positive meaning-making. Ninth graders (N = 183, 87 females, aged 14–15 years) of a public school in Tokyo participated in the study by responding to a questionnaire survey. Results indicated that meaning-making was positively correlated with SRG (r = .58, p < .001), whereas it was negatively correlated with distress (r = −.20, p = .006). Moreover, SRG was negatively correlated with distress (r = −.34, p < .001). Mediation analysis demonstrated that SRG positively mediates the relationship between meaning-making and distress, while distress negatively mediates the relationship between meaning-making and SRG. These results have implications for understanding the causal relationships between SRG and distress, from the perspective of positive meaning-making regarding high school Entrance Examinations in Japan.
