Research and Development of Performance Indicators in Academic Activities in Higher Education

本课题主要从三个方面进行研究：高等教育系统各层次绩效指标的考察、日本高等教育绩效指标的应用与发展以及大学教育评估。和美国进行了收集和调查。高等教育系统中的教学、学习、研究、社会服务等是如何被测量、评估和评价的。其次，分析了美国各州的投入、产出、过程和结果指标以及绩效资助的类型。和美国的完成率和成就，可以在日本应用。第三，根据我们的研究，日本四年制大学的毕业率约为8.8%，远远高于英国。(14.4%）和美国。(some 36%）。日本大学生的数学成绩也高于美国。然而，由于各国高等教育制度的文化和社会差异，这些指标的原始数字的直接国际比较是有限的。相反，高等教育部门之间和高等教育机构之间的比较似乎更好。

In this project, three studies are done ; Survey of performance indicators in various levels of higher education system, application and development of performance indicators in Japanese higher education and assessment of college education.Firstly, performance indicators in various levels of higher education system in the U.K. and the U.S.A. are collected and surveyed. How teaching, learning, study, research, social services and so on in higher education system are measured, assessed and evaluated are examined. Various types of input, output, process and outcome indicators and performance funding in the several states in U.S.A. are examined.Secondly, the most common indicators in U.K. and U.S.A. completion rate and achievement, can be applied in Japan. Other several indicators can be used for the assessment of education in Japan.Thirdly, according to our study, completion rate in four year college was some 8.8 percent, much higher than that of U.K.(14.4%) and U.S.A.(some 36%). Math achievement of college students in Japan is also higher than that of U.S.A..However, direct international comparison of raw figures of these indicators is limited, because of cultural and social differences of system of higher education in countries. Instead, comparison among sectors of higher education and among institutions of higher education seems to be better.
