The Politics of School Test System in the Japanese Imperialism

&nbsp;&nbsp;This study aims to investigate the political intention of school test system in the Japanese imperialism. The findings of this study are as following.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;First, Japanese colonialism institutionalized a relative rating system, through which it created the dominant structure that stirs up score and rank competition.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, the entrance examination of Japanese imperialism was itself the mechanism through which it selected &quot;loyal subjects for imperialist Japan&quot;. And it functioned as &quot;the mechanism of socio-political classification and selection&quot; that classify, select, filter, discriminate against, and adjudicate praise and blame to &quot;loyal subjects for imperialist Japan&quot;.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Third, the school test system of Japanese imperialism structuralized the scheme of &quot;narrow entrance - close watch - selection of loyal subjects&quot;, which scheme was popularized through direct barrack inspection on school system.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Lastly, Japanese imperialism created the myth that the score and rank through examination is extremely fair and objective, on the basis of which Japanese imperialism impose scoring and ranking on almost all kinds schools as the primary task. Therefore, the test institution in Japanese colonial period can be thought to have played a partial but effective role in peddling the idea that school was a place for scoring and ranking by test.
