Here, we introduce the Benesse Educational Research & Development Center including a brief overview and various activities.
The Benesse Educational Research & Development Center works on research and development activities, targeted at a wide range of people, including learners ranging from young children to university students and workers, as well as their parents, teachers and schools. We also provide well-formed information based on studies examining possible changes in the educational environment within mid- to long-term perspectives inside and outside Japan, through our unique research activities.
At the same time, more advanced R&D activities have been directed toward the study of how to improve the quality of education and teaching methods as well as assessments and measurements. We will constantly pursue the goal of developing a new educational framework for the future, aiming to become one of the most trusted educational R&D centers in the world.
