入試をめぐる男女分化 : 高校から大学への接続

Most studies of women higher education have focused on "how higher education brings different future to women from men's." In other words, they have argued on the segregated education between men and women. So far, various approaches, such as, guidance in choosing universities, cooling-down of aspiration, school culture to affect students'educational ambition, gender-role socialization, have been employed in the regards of the selection of universities. On the other hand, as to after entering universities, feminine tracks leading to different occupational careers have been pointed out. However, the entrance examination system between high school and university has not been payed attention fully as a system to differentiate students by gender. In this paper, we explore that the entrance examination is not one of procedures to enter a university, but it prepares a kind of "feminine tracks." To achieve the aim, we mainly use a cross-sectional data acquired by the research in which university students in Tokyo filled out the questionnaire. Firstly, we take up girls'high schools and boys'high school and examine how they use "the admission by school recommendation" as one of means to enter a university (II). Secondly, we analyze the difference in the use of "the admission by school recommendation" between girls of girls'high schools and girls of coed high schools (III). Lastly, "Ronin" norm in choosing universities among girls is analyzed (IV)
