Enhancing the Professional Characteristics and Reform Strategies of Professional Master's Entrance Examination and Enrollment:A Qualitative Analysis from Students'Perspectives
The professional master's entrance examination plays a pivotal role in graduate education,significantly influencing student enrollment quality and talent development.Strengthening the professional characteristics of this examination and developing a tailored system for professional master's admissions is crucial for advancing graduate education and cultivating high-level,application-oriented talents.From the students'perspective,the professional characteristics of the entrance examination are reflected in four key dimensions:exam composition,question design,examination organization,and scoring/enrollment processes.However,challenges persist,including high repetition rates in self-prepared subject tests,an emphasis on rote memorization over practical application,limited practical content,inconsistent scoring standards,and insufficient scientific rigor in re-examination and interview procedures.To address these issues,this paper proposes strategies to enhance the professional characteristics of the system,including:shifting the focus of unified examination questions to better evaluate professional skills,improving the relevance,precision,transparency,and practicality of self-prepared questions for re-examination and interviews,clarifying scoring criteria to elevate assessment standards,and strengthening the scientific design and standardized management of interviews to better reflect the professional nature of the programs.
