教育データを学術研究目的で利用する際に 初・中等学校と学術研究機関等が負う法的制約の調査

抄録

The authors report on the results of a survey on the rules for handling educational data collected at public and private elementary and secondary schools by academic and research institutions. In elementary and secondary education, “data-driven education” is being promoted, in which educational data is collected from information terminals owned by each student and utilized for individualized and optimal education. Ideally, elementary and secondary schools should be able to collect and analyze educational data on their own, but it is also possible to envision situations where educational data is provided to academic research institutes, etc. and analyzed jointly or outsourced. In such cases, schools are subject to legal restrictions when they provide educational data to academic research institutions, and academic research institutions are subject to legal restrictions when they use the data for academic research purposes. The restrictions imposed on academic research institutions are different from those imposed on the private sector, and the regulations are complex. The results of this study show that the restrictions are less stringent when using personal information for academic research purposes than when using personal information for ordinary purposes. On the other hand, there is a need to establish a voluntary code for the appropriate implementation of research using personal information.
