Xét học bạ trong tuyển sinh đại học: Thực tiễn, vấn đề và giải pháp từ kinh nghiệm quốc tế
Tóm tắt
The 2018 Higher Education Law significantly expands university autonomy in Vietnam, triggering the increasing adoption of transcript-based admissions. While intended to promote holistic assessment, this method faces reliability issues due to systemic grade inflation, raising concerns over fairness. This study analyzes the causes and consequences of grade inflation through the lens of psychometric reliability and validity. Using document analysis and comparative case studies, the research proposes a structural reform framework based on international best practices. Key proposals include the nationwide implementation of a standardized “School Profile” to provide contextual data and the piloting of an “Assessment Moderation” system to account for academic rigor. These solutions aim to shift policy from reactive measures to institutional approaches that contextualize student achievement. By incentivizing transparency over grade inflation, these mechanisms can restore the credibility of high school transcripts and enhance equity in higher education admissions.
