美国研究生招生考试制度的比较与借鉴

A Comparative Study of Postgraduate Entrance Examination Systems in China and U.S.A

以GRE为核心的美国研究生招生考试制度是世界公认的研究生招生考试制度成功模式之一。剖析我国现行研究生招生考试制度 ,我们发现“统一规划”、“层层约束”、“形式主义”是其主要的弊端。我国在改革开放和加入WTO的今天 ,研究生招生考试应善于吸收一切人类先进文明的成果 ,从“行政性”选拔向“专业性”选拔过渡 ,从知识性考察向以能力为中心的综合素质考察倾斜 ,建立富有中国特色的与世界研究生教育接轨的新的研究生招生考试制度。

GRE is one of the world-widely-accepted successful postgraduate entrance examination model in America. Analyzing the present postgraduate entrance examination in our country, we found that 'unified planning', 'binding forces', and 'formalism'are its main shortcomings. In a time when we continue to reform and open to the outside world and haveentered WTO, we need to absorb every achievement of human civilization and to change our postgraduate entrance examination system from 'Administrative Selection'to 'Professional Selection', from knowledge orientation to comprehensive quality orientation, in order to set up a new postgraduate entrance examination system with both Chinese characteristics and international standards.
