대학입학 전형요소로서 대학 인재상의 활용방안 탐색 - 입학사정관제에서의 활용사례를 중심으로 -

The admissions officer system was adopted to reform the college admission process in Korea, which has become increasingly diverse and specialized since the 5·31 educational reform in 1995, and to allow universities to have autonomy and diversity in selecting their future students. This study aims to outline the concept of talented students, whom admissions officers seek to admit to their universities, analyzes cases in which admissions officers applied the ideal in their holistic review and selection of college applicants, and offers recommendations on ways in which universities can utilize the concept of talent as an element in their college entrance procedure. The results of the present study shows, that while there are several positive aspects in utilizing the concept of talented students in the university admissions process, such moves were found to be limited to few universities, and that there was an overall lack of scientific and systematic efforts in establishing the idea of a desirable student who is compatible with a university's characteristics and admissions strategy. Finally the study suggests the following; ① universities should build their own concept of talent by taking into consideration their situation and circumstances, and make use of it in their college entrance procedures; ② universities should publicize their idea of competency of a student and their evaluations of it; ③ universities should periodically modify and supplement their concept of talented students; ④ universities should continue developing a methodology to further build on their concept of talent to be used in the college admissions process; ⑤ and lastly, universities should develop concepts of talented students at both the university and individual department levels, to enable more specialized student selection.
