다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

I suggest to introduce the institutionalizing of selection by major unit in university, as a mechanism to systematically reform university’s educational system. It requires establishing the educational goals of major units in university. That will be an important opportunity to enlarge the educational capability of major units.
First, in the selection methodology, it is necessary to take the principle of multi-step procedure proceeded by multi-assessors’ evaluation. School records ought to be used as ‘basic’ material, academic test results and in-depth interview as ‘important’ materials, and other records as ‘subsidiary’ materials. Especially, evaluation methodology including selection criteria and in-depth interview ought to focus on judging the applicants' fitness for majoring study. It must be designed to go by way of three or four step for classification of capability and be able to secure the specialty and fairness of assessment by major units. University ought to organize the institutional environment(personnel, material and cultural condition) for introducing the ‘selection by major units’ system, such as preparation for administrative supporting system including the revision of school regulations, the establishment of TF team for university’s policy reformation, the confirmation of articulation between high school and university, and the establishment of major unit’s educational goals, etc.
Second, in the middle of the change of university’s selection system, major unit’s professors need to act as the main body of selection with admissions officers, establishing the assessment apparatus in department, and leading to research and develop a proper selection model. Major units have to take the responsibility for the specialization and fairness of assessment, and for organizing the mechanism to reconstruct major unit classroom. Selection system by university major units is justifiable in that this system will serve to extension of systemicity between secondary and higher education in Korea education, raising the educational capability of major unit, enlarging selection autonomy, and normalizing public education in Korea. The procedure of selection and assessment should process four or five steps classifying the various capabilities of applicants.
