作業療法学科学生の入学成績と学業成績との追跡研究

A Study on the Achievements of Occupational Therapy Students According to Entrance Examination Results and Scholastic Records

要旨：近年，大学入試制度では学力偏重の問題点が指摘されており，国立医学校をはじめ理学療法学科入試成績において入試成績と入学後の学業成績とは関係がない場合が多いという報告がみられる．最近，本学院の作業療法学科において適性に悩み退学する学生や学力不振の為に学内浪人となる学生がいる．そこで過去5年間の作業療法学科学生の入学成績と学業成績との追跡研究をした結果，学業成績は入学試験科目には相関を示さず，入学試験合計点に相関がみられた．また，学業成績は高校成績との相関も示した．一方，学業成績が高い群として大学卒業後3年以上の社会経験者が浪人群や現役群に有意な差を示し，入学選考試験のさらなるあり方の検討の必要性が示唆された．
