One of the debates regarding the college admission systems is about which admissions screening works as a mechanism for social mobility, between early and regular admissions. This study attempted to contribute to related discussions by analyzing the income level of college admissions students according to the admissions screening (early vs. regular admissions) using data from the third year survey of the Korean Education & Employment Panel II (KEEP II). Analyzing the dataset, we found that parental income was almost the same between students admitted from early and regular admissions. To be specific, average monthly parental income was 586.4 million Korean Won for students admitted from early admission while it was 585.4 million Korean Won for those admitted from regular admission, which means that the difference between the two was neither practically nor statistically significant. Applying the chi-square test, we tested whether the relationship between parental income and types of college admissions and found no statistical significance. Finally, categorizing colleges where students are admitted by ranking, we compared parental incomes among students. We found that parental income was higher for top-ranked universities, and that parental income was higher for students admitted from early admission. We concluded that early admission can possibly be an admission system for "well-offs" between the two, and that early admission may not be working as a pathway to facilitate social mobility compared to the regular admissions.

We empirically verified whether there are different educational investment behaviors according to university admissions, using the Korean Education and Employment Panel data. The results are as follows; the average annual private education cost and the average amount of time spent studying alone per week of rolling admission type were lower than those of regular admission type. Also, rolling admission applicants had longer leisure and sleeping hours, such as watching TV and using computers. These results show the possibility that the university admission system will change the educational investment behavior. Furthermore, there is a possibility to induce the human capital investment to be made efficiently.

This study was conducted to find out the characteristics of H University's students admitted through affirmative action program. The differences between the affirmative action program enrollment students and all students were compared by descriptive statistics and correlation analysis methods. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted for students who entered the affirmative action program. A qualitative research method was used to analyze the contents of in-depth interviews. The results of the study are as follows. First, the higher the entrance score, the higher the university score for students in the affirmative action program. Second, the college satisfaction of students entering the affirmative action program is higher than that of students enrolled. Third, according to the results of the in-depth interview, the affirmative action program students were both active and not. In conclusion, it is necessary to establish a system in which students can actively prepare for their careers in universities. Accordingly, the expansion of the affirmative action program is likely to contribute to the development of universities.

대학과목선이수제(University-level Program; UP)는 고등학생들에게 대학 수준의 과목을 학습할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고, 그 평가 결과를 대학입학 후에 학점으로 인정받을 수 있게 함으로써 교육의 수월성 및 고교-대학 간 학습연계성을 추구하는 제도이다. 이러한 대학과목선이수제는 교육인적자원부와 한국대학교육협의회의 주도로 2008년 1월부터 본격 시행된다. 이에 새로이 도입된 대학과목선이수제에 대하여 소개하고, 제도의 성공적인 정착을 위한 방안에 관해 살펴보기로 한다.

우리나라의 대학입학제도는 1945년 이후 60여 년간 많은 시행착오와 지속적인 변화를 겪어왔다. 그러한 과정 속에서 현재 이 선발제도는 정부와 대학 간의 주도권 싸움 양상을 보이고 있다. 2009학년도 이후부터는 내신·수능과 대학별 고사가 병존하게 되는 가운데 그 반영비율이라든가 대학에서 자체적으로 실시하는 평가의 질적인 관리에 대한 논란이 뜨거울 것으로 짐작되는 바이다. 이에 여기서는 현 대학별 고사의 평가방식인 논술의 문제점 및 개선안 등에 대해, 특히 자연계를 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다.

The current 7th National Mathematics Curriculum had been developed as a learner-centered curriculum and begun to apply to high school since 2002. This paper discusses issues related to the high school mathematics curriculum application into high school. The mathematics curriculum for grades 11 and 12 was developed primarily as a learner-centered one to provide five elective courses according to the needs of students based on their future occupation and attitudes. Discussion starts with the differences of the five elective courses: the three of them have dependent and sequential structure and the two are totally different with regards to their levels of difficulty and the content they span. It is claimed that the frameworks of the 2005 National Ability Test for the College Entrance and the minimal enrollment requirements of several influential colleges' admission policy make the high school mathematics education very rigid, unflexible, and anti-educational. Several suggestions to recover and imp-rove the high school mathematics education and the spirit of the 7th curriculum are presented.

학교교육이 본래의 목표, 즉 지.덕.체의 균형발달을 제대로 수행한다면 사교육 의존도는 낮아질 수 있다고 본다. 그러기 위해서는 교사의 재교육이 절대적으로 요구된다. 교사들의 근무조건을 대폭 개선하여 학습연구에 전념할 수 있도록 해야 하고, 더 나아가 대학원 교육지원과 지속적인 연수 등을 통해 학생과 학부모가 만족할 수 있는 질 높은 교과교육을 제공할 수 있어야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this study are to identify how university's entrance examination system is related to private education, and to explore how to improve the university of education entrance system in order to reduce private education costs. For these purposes, 116 teachers of senior students in high school in Daegu and Gyeongbuk and 107 pre-service teachers who had experienced the entrance of the university were surveyed in order to find out the perception of the relationship between admissions elements and private education. As a result, it is possible to concentrate more on school education by strengthening high school grades in the entrance examination. However, there was other opinion that the strengthening high school grades in the university entrance could lead to the further increase in the cost of private education. As there are big differences in the perception of the screening factors between rural areas (Gyeongsangbuk-do) and large cities (Daegu), it is necessary to introduce the entrance examination system considering the characteristics of each region. Third-year teachers in high schools argued that university admissions should reduce the rate of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) and increase the rate of interviews. The results of this study suggest that the improvement of the university entrance examination system to reduce the cost of private tutoring requires securing fairness of document evaluation, strengthening interviews, and opening interview questions.

The university entrance examination in deeply related to high school education, adaptation and study ability in university. In this point of view, we investigate the scholastic achievement to the Calculus 1,2, linear algebra and differential equation from academic year 2006 to 2016. The above four subjects contain elementary and essential contents to study for science and engineering major in university. We compare and analyse the data of scholastic achievement and system of various university entrance examination, and we discuss and propose the methods of improvements for adaptation to each major field and study ability.
