本校新生應考聯招時科系選擇的研究

A STUDY ON STUDENTS' CHOICE OF MAJORS IN THE JOINT COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

本研究的對象為國立臺灣大學五十九年度部分新生。目的在研究學生參加大專聯考的一般動機與志願的分佈概況。絕大多數的被試對參加聯考的態度甚為積極，且男生參加聯考的動機與目標似乎比女生更為堅毅；至於志願的分佈，由於各組都有（且只有）一、兩系是“熱門”系，在粥少僧多的情況下，只有三分之一的被試能如願以償進入第一志願的科系，其他不如願者有一半以上蓄意重考或轉系。對此一問題的解決辦法，本作者以為可將現有之聯考分組制度甲、乙、丙、丁四組改為文、理、工、農、法、醫六組，以增加考生適得其願的機會。

The Ss in the present study were students randomly selected from the freshmen of the year of 1970 at the National Taiwan University. The study aims to determine the students' motivation beyond their choices of major in the Joint College Entrance Examination. Majority of the §s indicated that they were all well determined to have college education by taking the Entrance Examination. Moreover, the results of the present investigation show that the boy-student appeared to stand higher than the girl-student with respect to their motivation of entering college. As to the choices of the major-subject, there is a great tendency that most students were interested in the same subjects. In fact, there were usually one or two departments seeming to be most attractive to those examinees in each ''division'' of the joint College Entrance Examination. Consequently, only one-third of the Ss in the present study were admitted to the departments by their own choices, whereas more than half of the remaining students who did not meet their wishes intended to transfer to the departments of their first choices or to retake the Joint College Entrance Examination next time. In order to extensively fulfill the students' demands for their first choices of major subject, the present author suggests that the present system of the four 'divisions' would be better by redividing them into six, composing of Art, Science, Law, Engineering, Medicine, and Agriculture divisions.
