推薦甄選實施成效的追蹤調查：1994-1999

A Follow-up Research on the Selection Procedure of “Recommendation and Screening”

推薦甄選入學自1994年實施以來，參與推甄管道的大學校系與高中逐年成長。為檢視其實施成效，本研究採推甄生與非推甄生大學在校成績比較以及問卷調查，瞭解大學、高中、及學生對推甄管道的看法，以及推甄生與非推甄生在特質上的差異。研究結果顯示：（1）推甄生在大學的成績略優於非推甄生，（2）無論高中、大學或學生均認為推甄會使學生更提早認識大學科系、提早作生涯規畫，同時在選擇校系時會考量自己的興趣、性向與專長等，（3）推甄生比非推甄生較注重興趣、較有明確且長遠的計畫，且較自信肯定，（4）非推甄生比推甄生較在意成績且行事略為獨斷。（5）人格特質方面，則二者無明顯差異。

“Recommendation and Screening” (R & S) is a new procedure for admitting students to enter college in Taiwan. In R & S, students who meet the requirements set by the department they wish to study in are recommended by their high school. The candidates first need to take a Scholastic Achievement Test held by the College Entrance Examination Center (CEEC). If the test results are satisfactory, they undergo another process known as the second stage screening held by each department. Students who are admitted by this procedure cannot transfer to other departments without a special review. After the implementation of R&S, studies were conducted to evaluate the procedure. Results show that: (1)The academic performance of R & S students is better than the average performance of the students studying in the same department. (2) Colleges/universities, high schools, and students all agree that the procedure of admitting students via R & S allows students to get acquainted with university departments while in high school. Students take their interests, aptitudes, and talents into consideration when choosing departments. (3) R & S students pay more attention to personal interests, they have more definite long-term goals, and show more signs of confidence. (4) Non R & S students pay more attention to their academic records and act more arbitrarily. (5)There is no obvious difference in personality traits between R & S and non R & S students.
