Driven by multiple factors including advancements in information technology and performance accountability systems, concepts such as Evidence-Based Policy Making (EBPM) and Data-Driven Instruction (DDI) have gained increasing prominence in the field of education. Nevertheless, there remains a relative lack of discussion on practical case studies. This study examines Japan’s National Assessment of Academic Ability along with various locally administered academic assessments to illustrate how these evaluations serve as sources for generating data, information, and evidence. These outputs, in turn, inform decision-making processes among policymakers, researchers, school leaders, and teachers, shaping both policy formulation and instructional practices through the production of meaning and information. Drawing on official Japanese government documents, academic literature, and media reports, this study compiles practical examples of how different regions in Japan utilize academic assessments and contextualizes them within relevant academic frameworks. Against the backdrop of rapid developments in data analytics and artificial intelligence, this research provides insights for Taiwanese educators on how to more effectively leverage data to enhance instructional practices. |
