Recently,Forbes magazine announced its 2019 American university ranking。The magazine is called,This ranking avoids the admission rate、Donation funds and new students' academic ability assessment test (SAT) scores such as scores,Pay attention to student debt、Alumni salary、Graduation rate and student satisfaction。Many institutions in the United States release university rankings every year,Can its ranking truly represent the quality and value of a university? Jonathan Wai, assistant professor of the Department of Education Reform of the University of Kansas, said in an interview with this reporter,He and colleagues' studies discovered,Various university rankings and students' bet365 live casino games SAT scores are extremely high。He thinks,The essence of these universities is the ranking of students' own quality and ability,And the university education provides students to provide students with unclear help。

Although there are often disputes in the public for standardized examinations,But multiple studies indicate,Standardized exams clearly evaluated students' language and mathematics skills,It is a predicted academic performance、Occupational potential、Powerful means of creativity and work performance。

Some research institutions have investigated the SAT score data of the United States since the end of the 1990s,and divide the applicant into three socio -economic strata。Research Discovery,Students from the highest level of social status,29%of people score more than 1400 points in the SAT test,among students from the middle income class and low -income class,This ratio is 24%and 14%。bet365 live casino games Critics with SAT exams said,It tests students' wealth,Not personal ability。Wei thinks,Students from richer families often have higher test scores,This is the facts。But SAT and American College Entrance Examination (ACT) ability test,It can indeed be able to predict the possibility of successful students' success inside and outside the university。

Guard ranks 1339 schools according to the standardized test score,and evaluated the correlation between the standardized test score ranking and the ranking of other different dimensions。Condition is 1 to indicate that there is an inevitable relationship between the two variables,The correlation is 0 to indicate that there is nothing to do between the two variables。Research Discovery,The correlation between the test score ranking and other rankings is between 0.659-0.890。That is to say,The top school in the test score ranking,It will also be bet365 Play online games among the best in other rankings。The correlation coefficients of ranking and SAT and ACT scores in the United States are 0.787,The overall ranking of the global university and the correlation coefficient of SAT and ACT scores are 0.659。For this,Wei thinks,We may not need so many university rankings,Because they are mainly sorting the students based on the test scores or students' quality。

Research indicates,Some students with similar scores,Some are studying at the elite school,Some study in non -heavy schools,The difference in income in their adults is not much different。From the perspective of long -term income,Where it is not important,As long as you study in college and complete your studies,So Guard thinks,Where to go to college is not as important as people think。

Steven Ward, a professor of sociology at the Steven Ward of Socian University in the United States, also thinks,University rankings cannot reflect bet365 Play online games the quality of university education,But the ranking affects the value and operation of universities。The university ranking has enhanced the awareness of competition between universities。

Because the quality and ability of the students themselves is highly related to the university ranking,Guard proposed,When evaluating any output of the school,The quality of students should be considered input。From this inferred,Schools of students who admit more SAT or ACT scores,There will also be more successful graduates。The success of a university may have nothing to do with its teaching quality,and related to the talents it can recruit。

But according to statistics,About 94%of U.S. leaders went to college,Among them, 50%of them have attended the elite school。Another,20.6%of the US House of Representatives and 33.8%of the 300 -year -old millionaire have been on an elite school,Among Forbes's most influential bet365 live casino games characters,More than 80%of the characters have attended the elite school。Wei said this,This fully explanation,People are not clear at present,Students' output after graduating from college,How much is based on the abilities they have before college,How much is based on the ability they obtained during college。
