입학사정관제도와 사교육의 연관성에 관한 소고

The system of the college entrance process stands as one of the most important matters in the education system of Korean middle and high schools. Therefore, bringing change to the college entrance system is perceived as changing the paradigm of the whole education system. The current system, even though of it's positive results, has brought about negative effects such as bubbling of grades and bigger grade barriers between schools. The academic reports of individual schools has become unreliable and colleges have depended mostly on college entrance exam scores in selecting students. Due to this, middle school education has become an earlier base for preparing for the college entrance exam. To eliminate these negative effects, the government has decided to introduce the Admission Officer System for college entrance. The purpose of this system is to give admission to students by evaluating the potential knowledge and skill of students. One of the key factors of the system is that it will make it possible for each college to consider it's own ideology and the specific quality of their recruitment group. However, this system which was made to relieve the severe competition of college entrance and the explosive cost of private education, brings about both expectations and worries. Students and parents are worried that they are not ready enough for a sudden new system. As the time being, evaluation of universities that have been selected to run an example model of this Adimission Officer System in 2007 is very important. This research gives insight on how the system is run, looks into the problems, suggests improvements to safely settle and revitalize the system. For the Admission Officer System to safely slide into the education process, research on this subject should be carried on consistently and also on a regular cycle.
