In just 20 days since its launch, 'Motivation Academia's Junior High Entrance Exam Support Diagnostic Tool' has attracted over 1,000 users. This free web-based assessment is designed for parents struggling with the junior high school entrance exam. The tool assesses 16 distinct study types for children and provides tailored advice on study methods and utilizing educational institutions, taking only three minutes to complete.
Background of the Initiative
The backdrop to this tool's development is the growing demand for junior high school entrance exams, even as the birth rate declines. In a survey conducted from January to June 2025 involving 720 responses from parents of elementary school students aiming for junior high entrance exams, around 62% indicated their frustration, stating that despite their efforts, their child's grades were not improving.
This diagnostic survey aims to visualize these concerns parents face and offer suggestions for the next steps that align with their child’s needs. As the developers indicate, they often encounter families where the pressure leads them to feel that their hard work yields little in the way of results. The disparity in educational outcomes, even among children attending the same school with the same materials, often ties back to unique motivational traits of each child. This insight sparked the creation of the diagnostic tool.
Features of the Diagnostic Tool
The 'Motivation Academia Diagnosis' is rooted in 25 years of experience in junior high school entrance exam preparation, with oversight from expert instructors with over 10,000 successful cases. The tool scientifically analyzes children's learning patterns to devise specific strategies, advice on engagement, and study methods that best suit different types of learners. The assessments involve each child's unique study patterns and motivations, highlighting aspects that are essential for personalized educational support.
Recommended For:
- - Parents uncertain if their child’s current study methods or tutoring center are effective.
- - Those who have witnessed stagnation in grades or class performance.
- - Families looking to improve communication with their children regarding education.
The tool identifies 16 different types of learners, including categories like Director, Technician, Researcher, Conductor, Explorer, among others. This wide range underscores that learning is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each type has specific characteristics and challenges that the tool seeks to address, allowing for unique strategies to facilitate improvement and growth.
Future Plans
Moving forward, Motivation Academia plans to offer free learning counseling sessions based on the diagnostic results. Each session will focus on addressing specific challenges faced by families, such as stagnant grades or inadequate study times. They aim to offer practical learning advice and strategies to effectively balance schoolwork with home studies and tutoring assignments.
In addition to the counseling, the company will be conducting online seminars and consultations on a regular basis. These initiatives are designed to create a nurturing environment where parents can confidently support their children in the entrance examination processes.
