Abstract :
این تحقیق میخواهد رابطه بین نمره زبان انگلیسی در کنکور سراسری و پیشرفت تحصیلی دانشجویان زبان انگلیسی را پیدا کند. برای نیل به این هدف، به طور تصادفی دانشگاههای اصفهان ، تبریز ، مشهد ، شیراز و علامه طباطبایی انتخاب شده­اند . بدین منظــور نمرات دانشجـویان زبان انگلیسی که در سال تحصیلی 70 – 69 در کنکور سراسری پذیرفته شده بودند از دانشگاه­های فوق جمع آوری شد . همچنین نمرات زبان دانشجویان فوق از سازمان سنجش آموزش کشور جهت پیدا کردن این رابطه دریافت شد . برای بررسی دقیق این رابطه نمرات دروس عمومی ( از قبیل فارسی، و ...) از دروس تخصصی جدا شد . نتایج بدست آمده نشان میدهد که در تمام رشته­های تحصیلی ضریب همبستگی بین نمره زبان کنکور و موفقیت تحصیلی دانشجـویان ، با دخالت دادن سهمیـه " 6 " ( رزمندگان ) در این آمار ، معنی­دار است . اما با حذف سهمیه " 6 " ضریب همبستگی بین این دو متغیر به استثنای دانشگاه شیراز ضعیف­تر می شود و ثابت شد ضریب همبستگی بین این دو مجموعه از نمرات در رشته­های دبیری زبان انگلیسی دانشگاه مشهد و زبان و ادبیات فرانسه دانشگاه اصفهان ، با حذف سهمیه " 6 " معنی­دار نمی­باشد .
