February 11, 2016, the International Baccalaureate (IB) released a summary of findings from research conducted by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) examining the university enrollment and achievement of matched cohorts of IB Diploma Programme (DP) and A level students.
2016年2月11日,国际文凭组织发布了由高等教育统计机构(HESA)针对IBDP和A level学生进行的大学入学和学业成就的研究结果报告。
Some of the key findings included: •IB diploma students were significantly more likely than their A level peers to attend a top 20 HEI •IB diploma students had a significantly greater likelihood of earning a first-class honours degree than did A level students. •IB diploma students were significantly more likely to be engaged in further study after university graduation
部分重要发现包括: •IB学生就读排名前20高等教育机构的机会远高于A level学生 •IB学生获得一等荣誉学位的机会远高于A level学生 •IB学生大学毕业继续进行学业深造的机会也明显更高
The study also looked at post-graduation destinations among students working after higher education, by industry type. IB diploma graduates were more likely to be employed in professional, scientific and technical activities (18.3%) or human health and social work activities (14.6%) according to the HESA report.
本项研究还跟踪了学生们大学毕业后在各个行业就业的情况。根据HESA的报告,IB学生就业于以下行业的可能性更高:专业/科学/技术工作(18.3%),健康和社会活动(14.6%)。
Researchers conducted analyses based on three different groups of students. The “student” cohorts; samples included IB diploma students and A level students (N=11,055 each) enrolled full-time, for a first degree, in the first year of study at an HEI in the UK. The “qualifier” cohorts; samples included IB diploma and A level students (N=6,455 each) who had successfully completed a full-time first degree at a UK HEI. The “leaver” cohorts; samples included IB diploma and A level students (N=5,295 each) who had successfully completed a full-time first degree at a UK HEI and had completed the HESA “Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education” (DLHE) survey six months later.
研究者们对三组不同的学生群体进行了分类分析。“学生”组:样本包括IB学生和A level学生(样本量各为11,055),就读于英国的高等教育机构的全日制第一学位项目的一年级;“预选”组:样本包括IB学生和A level学生(样本量各为6,455),已经在英国的高等教育机构完成全日制第一学位项目的学习;“离校”组:样本包括IB学生和A level学生(样本量各为5,295),已经在英国的高等教育机构完成全日制第一学位项目的学习并在6个月后完成了HESA“高等教育完成后去向”的调查。
