In this article, research related to educational measurement, evaluation, and research methods is reviewed. A majority of the articles were published from July 2018 through June 2019. In this paper, the relationship between the focus of these studies and the key concepts of improvement for developing a large-scale testing system, such as the university entrance examination, are illustrated. Recently the reformation of the Japanese university entrance examination system was forced to suspend. Thus, the findings of this article should be taken into account when discussing the new system for the university entrance examination from the viewpoint of psychological scale construction, methodological study of psychometrics, and feasibility of the test system, as well as the enhancement of the study environment of psychometrics and analytical methods.
