The Actual Conditions and Ensuring Fairness of the Admission Officer System

Abstract

The Admission Officer System is a selecting system that evaluates potential and talent of students in multiple aspects and selects whom each university wants to pick and fits the specific recruitment units. However, the issue about fairness of the system has been discussed continually. This study conducted online survey, using fairness checklist with 31 universities to know how admission officers perceive the fairness of the system and secure that. Also, three times of expert FGI were conducted, too. The result shows there are still many universities that adjustment for deviated evaluation in interview, separation of operating agency, stabilization of the statue of admission officers, analyzation of each evaluator's tendency, and so on are not achieved well. To assure the fairness of the admission officer system, securing validity by clearly defining the concept of fairness is proposed first. Stabilizing the statue of admission officers and continuous education training for them is also proposed to improve their professionality. Furthermore, expansion of education programs about the admission officer system in both quantity and quality is suggested for fairness of the system.

Psychosocial Characters and Their Behavioural Indexes for Evaluation in Secondary School Physical Education Classes and Sports Club Activities

“…Secondly, qualitative evaluation of twenty-five to thirty students in a physical education class or a sports club activity is extremely effortful and almost infeasible for teachers. Lastly, the issue of fairness in relation to qualitative descriptions in the student record book lurks in every party’s mind [ 8 , 12 , 27 , 28 ] and always overrides the issue of the need to accept the qualitative descriptions as reliable criteria for evaluation of students’ psychosocial character development.…”
