Fundamental research on the subjects of educational policy evaluation research, and on the development of the evaluation methods.

政策和行政评估是一个相对较新的问题，日本从20世纪90年代后半期开始作为“行政改革”的一部分进行。在这一领域，甚至连研究的对象也不是很明显。我们需要处理行政的“效率”和行政的“公开”以及“公民参与”和“问责”等问题。此外，我们还借鉴了我们之前一年的“教育管理评估体系研究”(2000)和“教育管理评估方法研究”(2001)项目的成果，明确了教育管理评估研究的对象和方法。研究教育中的政策评价理论。教育政策评估研究的一些特点，以及评估方法的发展。美国参与性评估。NCLB.C.之后的教育方法。对芬兰大学的评估。德国的教育政策评估。综述研究成果被收入两卷本的教育政策评估研究主题和评估方法发展的基础研究报告中。我们的一些成员将他们的研究成果发布在一个学术团体的公告中。如果您联系aki@nier.go.jp，可以获得更多信息。
