Sistema de ingresso universitário na Tailândia

Abstract

Este estudo investigou o desempenho académico do caloiro que é admitido numa instituição superior de educação pelo Sistema Nacional de Exames Universitário e as Entradas de caloiros que foram admitidos pelo Sistema Central Universitário de Admissões. A amostra consistiu em estudantes de 9 instituições superiores e 28 grupos que frequentavam a universidade e que tinham completado o primeiro semestre do ano de caloiros em 2005 e 2006. As descobertas mostraram diferenças estatísticas de nível de significância 0.5. Os estudantes que eram admitidos pelo CUAS tinham uma concretização académica menor que aqueles admitidos pela NUEE. Os possíveis factores que causam a diferença entre estes dois grupos de estudantes chegaram de componentes de critérios de admissão. Nomeadamente: concretização académica (GPA, GPAX) e abolição do Exame de Entrada Nacional que foi subsituido pelo “Ordinary National Education Test” (O-NET) e pelo “Advanced National Education Test” (A-NET).
