岡山大学医療技術短期大学部看護学科では,平成5年度より定員の約20%を募集人員とした推薦入試制度を導入し,以来本年で3回卒業生を送りだしてきた｡本学は来年度から保健学科として新入生を募集することになっており,推薦入学もとられる予定である｡そこで,これを機会に推薦入学学生と一般入試による入学生との在学成績,学習態度等を比較検討し,推薦入試制度の有用性を検討した｡推薦入学生の在学成績は一般入試による入学者の成績とほとんど差はないか,むしろよい傾向にある結果を得た｡今回の検討結果は在学成績のみでしかも期間が3回しか卒業生を送りだしていない時点であることから推薦入学制度の有用性を結論づけるためには更に今後検討が必要である｡At the nursing department of our college, we introduced in 1993 a system of admitting students on the recommendation of their high school principals, by which about 20 % of the full quota are to be admitted. Since then, our department has graduated students for 3 years. To evaluate the usefulness of this system, students admitted by this system were compared with those admitted by general entrance examination in terms of their college record and the during learning. The college record in the students admitted on recommendation was similar to or slightly better than that in the students admitted by general entrance examination. However, these results were obtained only by comparing the college record, and this system has been used only 3 years. To confirm the usefulness of this recommendation-admission system, further studies are necessary
