本研究的目的是考察国外大学评估制度的现状，提出适合日本大学评估的制度，以明确制度的有效方法和具体概念。本研究始于1998年10月，由于日本政府已于1999年5月成立了大学评估制度筹备委员会，因此，本研究已于1999年6月提交了一份关于日本大学评估制度及其制度构想的报告，其中阐述了建立大学评估制度的意义，以及其评估制度的组织和内容。这份中介报告的内容强烈反映了上述筹备委员会1999年9月提交的报告的内容。中介报告由三章组成，第一章介绍了研究的前提和t…介绍了本研究的背景、评价机构的基本特征、创建机构和任务。大学评估制度的基本特征是：(1)不同于一般大学的独立评估机构；(2)使用自己的评估标准；(3)由评估机构选择评价者对大学进行评估。所建立的结构被视为与大学间研究机构相同。该机构的职能是对大学进行评估，研究评估体系，为大学评估收集、分析和提供信息。第二章论述了评估人员的意见、评估委员会的角色以及作为大学评估的可行结构的教职员工组织的角色。并提出了保持其生命力的措施。评估是基于同一学术领域的同行评审员进行的，因此，高校工作人员将在评估中发挥主要作用。但在校外工作的有学问的人，具有相同专业和大学教育系统的透彻知识，也应该参加这个评估小组。第三章从不同的角度，通过不同的评估方法，探讨了该机构所做的评估内容和方法，以呈现其自身的特点。它要求对大学的各种活动进行评估，如教育、研究活动、地方社会活动或与工业协会、社会贡献等相印证的活动。评价应进一步延伸到大学总部如何刺激其活动的管理系统。对教育活动的评价应以教育活动的目的和目标为依据，以教育活动的评价结果为依据进行自我监控和自我评价。报告最后总结了英国、法国、荷兰和美国实施的外国大学评估制度。最后报告包括韩国、德国和上述国家对具体评价方法、程序和主题的进一步研究结果。较少

The purpose of the present studies is to investigate the present status of foreign university evaluation systems and to suggest what kinds of institutions should be proper for Japanese university evaluation, in clarifying the effective methods and concrete concept of the institution. The present study started at October of 1998, and has already presented a report on the vision of Japanese university evaluation system and its institution in June of 1999, in which the meaning of the establishment of its institution is described in conjunction with its organization and content of evaluation system, since the preparatory committee on institution for university evaluation has been already initiated in May of 1999 by the national government. The content of this intermediary report strongly reflected that of the report presented in September of 1999 by the above-mentioned preparatory committee. The intermediary report consists of three chapters, and the 1st chapter describes the premise and t … More he background of this study, fundamental character of the evaluation institute, its founded structure and its undertaking. The fundamental characters of the university evaluation institution are such that (1) a independent evaluation institution different from the usual universities, (2) using their own evaluation standard, (3) should evaluate the universities with reviewers chosen by the institution. The founded structure is regarded as the same as interuniversity research institutions. The function of the institution is to evaluate the universities, to study the evaluation system, and to do gathering, analyzing, and supplying of the informations for the university evaluations. The 2nd chapter deals with the views of assessors, the role of evaluation committee, and role of organizations of teaching and clerical staff, as the practicable structure for university assessment. It also presents the measures for its maintaining of the vitality. The evaluation is based on done by the peer reviewers in the same academic fields, and therefore, the universities staffs will play a main role on evaluations. But the learned person who works outside of the university, with the through knowledge of the same special fields and the university educational system, also should participate this evaluation team. The 3rd chapter discusses the content and methods of evaluations done by the institution, in order to present their own characteristics, by various evaluation methods with various views. It requires the evaluations for various activities of universities such as education, research activities, activities in local societies or corroborating activities with industrial societies, social contributions, and so on. The evaluation should further extend to the managing system how the headquarters of the universities stimulates their activities. The evaluation for educational activities should be done on the basis of their own purpose and the goal, in order to use the results for self-monitoring and self-evaluation. The report finally summarizes the foreign university evaluation systems implemented in England, France, Holland, and America. The final report includes the results of further studies on the concrete evaluation methods, process and the subjects in Korea, and Germany, and the countries described above. Less
