We participated in the 2020 General Education, Pedagogy, and Assessment Conference held by Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) and collected information about the design and implementation of educational assessment. We identified four characteristics of assessment in the United States that could inform the enhancement and dissemination of educational assessment in Japan. These characteristics were: proposition/conduct of new forms of assessment combining qualitatively and quantitatively; trust in assessment; readiness for the conduct of assessment by schoolwide networks; and awareness of improvability through sharing of information.

How can Euler diagrams support non-consequence inferences? Although an inference to non-consequence, in which people are asked to judge whether no valid conclusion can be drawn from the given premises (e.g., All B are A
No C are B), is one of the two sides of logical inference, it has received remarkably little attention in research on human diagrammatic reasoning
how diagrams are really manipulated for such inferences remains unclear. We hypothesized that people naturally make these inferences by enumerating possible diagrams, based on the logical notion of self-consistency, in which every (simple) Euler diagram is true (satisfiable) in a set-theoretical interpretation. The work is divided into three parts, each exploring a particular condition or scenario. In condition 1, we asked participants to directly manipulate diagrams with size-fixed circles as they solved syllogistic tasks, with the result that more reasoners used the enumeration strategy. In condition 2, another type of size-fixed diagram was used. The diagram layout change interfered with accurate task performances and with the use of the enumeration strategy
however, the enumeration strategy was still dominant for those who could correctly perform the tasks. In condition 3, we used size-scalable diagrams (with the default size as in condition 2), which reduced the interfering effect of diagram layout and enhanced participants’ selection of the enumeration strategy. These results provide evidence that non-consequence inferences can be achieved by diagram enumeration, exploiting the self-consistency of Euler diagrams. An alternate strategy based on counter-example construction with Euler diagrams, as well as effects of diagram layout in inferential processes, are also discussed.

We examined the factors that produce differences in generating scenarios on the near future using the scanning method. Participants were asked to briefly read (scan) 151 articles about new technology, the latest customs, fashion, social change, value system transition, or emerging social problems, and then to generate three scenarios about the near future based on the articles. We compared the generated scenarios between scanning method experts and non-experts with no prior experience with the scanning method. We found that experts generated more unique scenarios than non-experts did, and that experts and non-experts differed in the diversity of articles referenced when generating scenarios. We discuss the relationship between the present findings and previous findings on divergent thinking. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Since Internet has become widespread in our modern society, it is considered popular to use Internet for information gathering when we generate new ideas. In this study, we focus on clarifying the influence of ways of information gathering by using Internet search on idea generation. We conducted an experiment, in which participants were asked to generate ideas about technology and service, that followed information gathering by using Internet search. In our experiment, five outside experts rated all ideas generated in terms of Originality, New Value, and Reality. As a result, many participants gathered technical information about the target of idea generation task which contributed to the result that the ideas generated by them were rated lower in terms of Originality and New Value. This way of information gathering was considered to be caused by the participants' tendency of Internet search such as using search words which seemed closely related to the task given and following links from one page to another. Our findings suggest that the tendency to gather technical information, which occurs with the use of Internet search, negatively affect performance in creative idea generation about technology and service.

In this study, we investigate how people manipulate diagrams in logical reasoning, especially no valid conclusion (NVC) tasks. In NVC tasks, premises are given and people are asked to judge whether "no consequence can be drawn from the premises." Here, we introduce a method of asking participants to directly manipulate instances of diagrammatic objects as a component of inferential processes. We observed how participants move Euler diagrams, presented on a PC monitor, to solve syllogisms with universally quantified sentences. In the NVC tasks, 88.6% of our participants chose to use an enumeration strategy with multiple configurations of conclusion diagrams and/or a partial-overlapping strategy of placing two circles. Our results provide evidence that NVC judgment for tasks with diagrams can be reached using an efficient way of counter-example construction.

We analyze the information discrepancy between diagrammatic representations and logical reasoning, which we call visual biases in diagrammatic reasoning. Diagrammatic representations contain semantic information, which is based on the topological configurations of objects, and visual information, such as geometric location. In principle, visual information is unnecessary to the validity of logical reasoning. However, people are so sensitive to visual information such as size and shape in diagrams that they occasionally do not ignore irrelevant information. This phenomenon leads to mistakes in logical reasoning. We addressed this issue in the present study. In Experiment 1, we assessed whether and how a visual bias of external diagrams affects reasoning performance. We asked participants to directly manipulate size-fixed (Euler) diagrams while solving syllogistic tasks. In Experiment 2, we tested whether size-scalable diagrams were able to reduce a visual bias of diagrams in logical reasoning.

Previous studies of innovation have recognized that many innovations are developed by users. However, there is a risk of leaking new ideas by users who join a discussion to generate ideas. In order to avoid the risk, this study proposes a new workshop method to generate business ideas. In the workshop method, idea generators are required to discuss new business ideas based on information that is organized by users who do not join the discussion and thus never know new ideas that are created in this workshop. Idea generators who are given the user-organized information are considered to be able to create new ideas using the given information. We conducted an experiment to test this. In our experiment, participants were divided into two groups: the first group was asked to generate new business ideas based on the information with user perspective while the second group was asked to do so based on the information with engineer perspective. Performance of the first group was compared with that of the second group. Eight outside experts rated all ideas generated in terms of novelty, benefit and feasibility. The result showed that the ideas generated by the first group were rated significantly higher in terms of novelty as well as lower in terms of feasibility than the ideas generated by the second group. Furthermore, a questionnaire survey carried out to those who joined this workshop supported this finding. Our findings suggest that our workshop method is useful for bringing user perspective into actual business idea generation. © The Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence 2013.

This paper proposes a computational model of the practical cognitive processes involved in insightful human problem solving. The solutions to insight problems require a drastic shift from an ‘impasse’ stage to the ‘insight’ stage. The impasse stage frequently experienced with insight problems is generally assumed to reflect special ‘constraints’ on the solver. It is also generally assumed that three mechanisms are necessary in order to escape from impasses: a mechanism to avoid failed trials, a chaotic mechanism, and a goal-orienting mechanism. The proposed model involves a system of simultaneous differential equations with each variable denoting a node in a neural network model. Constraints are modeled in terms of controls on the easiness with which the nodes are activated. The system has two special terms; one is a chaotic function representing the chaotic mechanism, and the second guides the system in the direction that maximizes an evaluation function value in representing the avoidance of failed trials. Through the representation of the goal-orienting mechanism, the model selects an operator that minimizes the difference between the current state and the goal state. Simulation results demonstrate that the model successfully models the cognitive processes of insightful problem solving, and provide evidence that all three mechanisms necessary for insight.
