Study on Social Selection Systems to Replace Degreeocracy

日本的学位制度一直被认为是一种将合格的毕业生分配给政府和企业等现代职业部门的制度。但我们对非学校职业精英和非现代行业的社会选拔制度知之甚少。本研究的目的是从非学位政治的角度来考察社会选拔制度。第一章：近代日本的失学社会选拔制度、近代日本的自我教育历程。第二章：考试制度的范式转换，考察了两种考试制度，一种是高考，另一种是企业聘任制。第三章：高中择业群体的选拔制度，在近期社会调查的基础上，探讨了高中择业对获得较高社会地位的影响。第四章：从选拔学会到教育学会，对职业棒球运动员选秀制度的有效性进行了统计分析。最后一章的研究结果对我们的社会有很大的启示意义。那就是教育内容比选拔制度本身更有价值。

Japanese degreeocracy has been thought to be a system to distribute qualified graduates to modern occupational sectors like government and corporations. But we don't know much about social selection systems for non-school career elites and in nonmodern sectors. The purpose of this study is to examine social selection systems from the viewpoints of non-degreeocracy side.Final report consists of four parts as in the following. Chapter one : Social Selection Systems without School Career in Modern Japan, Self-education process in modern Japan were investigated historically. Especially the process to be teachers and other professions through the certificate examinations were focused.Chapter two : Paradigm Transformation of the Examination System, Two types of examination system were examined, one is the entrance examination on higher education and another is the employment examination by corporations. Those functional changes were traced historically.Chapter three : Selection Systems on The Group with High School Careers, The effects of school career to get high social status were discussed on the basis of the recent social survey. Then, the present selection system on scientists and engineers was mentioned.Chapter four: From Selective Society to Educational Society, The validity of the Draft System on professional baseball players were analyzed statistically.
