Recently, university admission methods in Korea is undergoing fundamental changes evidenced by introducing admission officer methods. The introduction and promotion of admission officer methods denotes the long standing social criticism on existing admission methods which was based solely on quantitative test scores and GPA. It is argued that the admission officer method is based on ‘essential skills’ such as problem solving abilities and self-directed learning abilities. However, few researches were conducted yet on the efficacy of admission officer methods. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the different admission methods choose different collegiate students based on level of essential skills. Research subjects were 517 undergraduate students at a 4-year private university. The essential skills survey instrument used in this study was Korea Collegiate Students Essential Skills Assessment(K-CESA) developed by the Ministry of Education and Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training. The 6 construct areas measured with K-CESA are: communication skills, comprehensive reasoning, resource․technology․information skills, global abilities, self-management skills, and interpersonal skills. The results of this study were as follows: first, male students and junior year students are generally performed better in various essential skills compared to first or second year students. However, it should be noted that senior year students show a stagnation on essential skills development and even significant reduction. Second, Multivariate Analysis of Variance between different admission methods’ groups showed significant differences in terms of essential skills. Further discriminant analysis on freshman sub-group(n=212) confirmed that global-abilities and resource-technology-information skills are valid discriminant variables between admission officer group and test score-based admission group. A further discussion on developing better admission system was provided.
