FCE's Foresight Planner: Transforming Student Outcomes Through Daily Habit Formation

FCE Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has released its unique report, the "Effect Visualization Report 2025," highlighting how its business planner, the Foresight Planner, is making a significant impact in middle and high schools across Japan. According to the report, students engaging with the planner more than three times a day reported notable improvements: 94% in planning skills, 81% in study habits, and 86% in feelings of personal growth.

The significance of self-directed learning and reflection is becoming increasingly important within educational environments in Japan. The Foresight Planner is designed not just as a scheduling tool, but as a comprehensive educational support tool that empowers students to visualize their goals and actions, thus fostering daily personal growth and encouraging proactive learning.

In light of the importance of these skills, FCE undertook a large-scale investigation to understand how continued use of the Foresight Planner affects student attitudes, behaviors, and achievements.

Study Overview

- Study Title: Foresight Effect Visualization Report 2025
- Study Duration:

- Phase 1: July 10 – July 25, 2025
- Phase 2: October 1 – November 7, 2025

- Participants: Elementary, middle, and high school students currently using the Foresight Planner
- Methodology: Web-based surveys
- Valid Responses: 11,740
- Conducted By: FCE Education Division, Foresight Business Group

Key Findings

The investigation revealed that students who utilized the Foresight Planner more than three times a day showed a distinct trend toward improved skills and habits. Key advancements included:
1. Planning Skills: 94% reported improvement in planning ability.
- Students indicated heightened awareness and ability to set daily goals and schedules independently, resulting in organized thought processes and proactivity in actions.

2. Studying Habits: 81% noted an increase in study time.
- The Foresight Planner helped students become more conscious of how they allocate their time, enabling them to design effective study strategies for themselves. This visibility significantly contributed to consistent learning behaviors.

3. Personal Growth Recognition: 86% expressed a newfound sense of growth.
- Through regular reflection, students reported a greater sense of their own progress, which, in turn, fortified their confidence and stimulated their motivation to continue improving.

Testimonials from Students

The students articulated how the Foresight Planner has influenced their lives:

- On Planning Skills: "I became more organized and know what tasks I have to do each day."
- On Study Habits: "I've started allocating more time for studying and it really boosts my confidence when I finish my daily goals."
- On Growth Recognition: "I can track my improvements and it motivates me to keep pushing forward."

Change Triggered by Daily Habits

The study also examined how frequent use of the planner impacted various aspects of student behavior and thought processes. Students who opened the planner three times a day exhibited greater awareness and management skills in both academic and personal spheres.

- Students noted a significant decrease in forgetting homework and assignments due to their improved organizational skills, which also extends to personal events and tasks.

The findings underscore a cycle of habit formation where students engage in cycles of planning (morning goals), reflecting (afternoon review), and adjusting (evening assessments). This cycle promotes a culture of self-regulated learning and strengthens their capability to plan their educational journeys effectively.

FCE's mission is to maximize human capital and enhance educational possibilities. As such, the Foresight Planner is not just a scheduling tool but a catalyst for personal development among students, paving the way for a brighter future.

FCE is committed to continuing innovation in educational support tools, aiming to cultivate self-directed learners equipped for success. For more insights and the full results of the Effect Visualization Report 2025, interested parties can request further information through FCE's official channels.
