資訊系統與社會公平

Application of Information Systems on Accessing Fairness

: An Empirical Research on Recommendation and Screening Process for Universities and Colleges

摘要*

本項研究探討如何應用資訊系統促進社會公平，而以大學甄選入學為例，研究社會上以自由心證方式進行各種評審活動的公平內涵，探討的問題有３：

1. 甄選「公平性」的處理
2. 當前「公平性」概況
3. 如何促進評審活動的社會公平

本研究採用1996至1997年間，全國47所大學、188個學系辦理甄選入學的實證資料，作為研究的依據，發現：
絕大多數校系均以評審的原始成績為依據，並未對保障公平性作適當的處理。
有百分之63.9的甄試項目，評審可謂公平；而有百分之36.1的甄試項目，公平程度可能較低。
本研究所提出的決策模式與資訊系統，優於當前實施的各種方法，較當前實務上其他權宜的方式，更能檢定並協助提升評審活動的社會公平性。

關鍵詞：資訊系統、社會公平、甄選入學
