This thesis is purposed for phenomenological review on the admission evaluator system in Korea. Especially it tried to suggest many problems and implications appeared in the starting point introspectively. The admission evaluator system in current Korean education is the main trend and the main feature. It is a clearly an approaching method of top-down pattern. The face problems were the solution for the realistic problems in education such as the problem solving of private education and improvement in entrance examination. But the merits and demerits in such top-down approaching method were too certain. There must be confusions regardless of intention eventually if it is not examined by means of the phenomenological review or ontological examination.
The admission evaluator system is permeated with negative viewpoint mainly perhaps due to this matter. And there is more room for misunderstanding and the prejudice. In other words, the quantitative evaluation like the Learning Ability Test is objective, but the qualitative evaluation of admission evaluator system must be subjective. Furthermore, there is a serious problem on its reliability. The consistent emphasizing on the speciality of the admission evaluator can be one of the methods to acquire the reliability on the evaluation system and the fairness. But, the chain reaction of this misunderstanding and prejudice has been spreading into the worried situation which puts the basic willing of the admission evaluator system into the shade. Nevertheless, the admission evaluator system must be a main trend and main feature. The admission evaluator system is seated at the center of the situation that the identity of Korean education has been changing into the open code of ‘openness and variety’ in accordance with the change of times and it have to be changed. The ‘reason and progress’ which was the identity of Korean education in the past times and the extreme quantitative evaluation based on such identity are encountering a phase of new changes at any case. Consequently, now the main trend is to transform into the qualitative concept of ‘openness and variety’ from the quantitative concept of ‘reason and progress’.
The methodology for admission evaluator system to be positioned as an ontology beyond the rationale can be found. The developmental method for the new admission evaluator system was suggested in relation with the identity changes of universities in Korea while pointing out the parallel lines and the crossing points which emerged in the surface of the admission evaluator system So called, ‘Korean style’ admission evaluator system and ‘MUD style’ admission evaluator system are the methodology. This thesis suggested it in a realistic and moderate satisfying level at present in Korea by means of setting very realistic and the specific item setting in terms of ‘people’, ‘contents’ and ‘system’.
The admission evaluator system is a suggestion of the method for subjective or integral evaluation on the information from various applicants in qualitative pattern not by the test score in quantitative pattern to be true to its name. However, the most important point in here is that the student shall fill the portfolio by himself and provide the application document. It shall be properly expressed and realized according to the admission evaluation by recording in maximum for the educational activities of the students. But, the word of ‘by himself’ can be regarded as really one of the fresh and mysterious adjectives in Korean education. It means that the education environment in Korea had been established in other-directed way in such extent during the past times.
