This study has an intention of preparing for a remedy on the basis of analysis of the actual condition of operation in model universities and operating cases of foreign universities for early fixation of admissions officer system.
The subjects of this study are understanding characteristic and the present situation(location, scale, form of establishment), characteristic of admissions officers(scholastic ability, career, form of contract), and the operating situation of admissions officer system in those universities.
First, as the result of the analysis, the number of private universities is four times as many as that of national universities among the universities which put admissions officer system in operation, and all of them except one are located in the National Capital region. In addition, 9 universities(90%) among them are large-scale and the regular number of their freshmen is more than 3,000.
Second, more than 34 officers(80%) are above master's degree, but the number of the regular staff is nothing but 3(8%) and so legal and systemic guarantee of their status is urgently needed. Only 2 officers(5%) have experience in admissions affairs and so it is needed that universities employ experienced men in those field during certain periods.
Third, this system is operated by 40 universities through governmental supporting budget and independent sources of revenue should be ensured to continue their operation after suspension of its support.
Fourth, to secure its impartiality and reliability, most universities operate their system focusing on systemic parts like multistage-evaluating system, DB-construction of selection, and so on, but it is revealed that the direct method of understanding student's potentiality is deficient. For early fixation of this system, therefore, the study on the technique of evaluating student's potentiality with its systemic complement should be advanced urgently.
Fifth, it is true that the connection and efficiency of affairs are deficient because admissions officers are employed newly in most universities to operate this system. To complement systemic weakness, plans of selecting and utilizing the certain number of school personnel should be groped.
Sixth, 6 selection(46%) like Alternative School Selection of Inha University is set up by reflection of their special aims through admissions officer system. To enhance the goal of introduction of this system, selection connected with university's characteristic should be studied.
The result of the study on the actual situation of general operation of admissions officer system shows that it has many complementary parts because of the period of introduction. For early fixation of admissions officer system, it is the most important that the impartiality of this system should be operated clearly to get the confidence of the nation.
