Institution-level admissions initiatives in Chile: enhancing equity in higher education?
研究了智利部分精英大学近十年实施的考虑学生教育背景的招生项目，通过混合方法分析其理论假设及对入学机会和学业成果的影响。
During the last 10 years, a group of selective universities in Chile has started to implement admissions programs that consider the achievement of students in the context of the educational opportunities they have had, thus reducing reliance on the national college entrance exam. This study explores the program theories in a sample of these programs and their effects on access and academic outcomes. We use a mixed method approach: program theory is explored through the analysis of program documents and interviews, and the effects on access and outcomes are explored through descriptive and inferential statistics of institutional data. This study aims to contribute to the research exploring the evolution and outcomes of institutional admission reforms intended to tackle the problem of equity in higher education.
