Evidence-based practices at a super science high school in Japan

Abstract

This poster presents some of the evidence-based practices at Kumamoto Prefectural Kumamoto Kita High School, a designated super science high school in Kumamoto, Japan. The school’s SSH curriculum is structured around three core principles: Research (R), Leadership (L), and Co-Creation (C). This paper focuses on practices employed within the L category, primarily experiential learning and authentic assessment. Student perceptions of the program’s activities and curriculum are routinely collected to track the development of student attitudes and abilities.
