Constructing the EXPAND Core Dimensions of Admission Strategies in Taiwan Higher Education

Abstract

In the context of low fertility rate and the marketization of education, the admissions of higher education have faced numerous challenges. How higher education institutions can resolve these crises and turn them into opportunities have become indispensable issues that cannot be ignored. This study aims to construct the core dimensions of admission strategies in Taiwan’s higher education through a mixed methods research approach. First, a literature analysis is conducted to understand the current situations of higher education admissions in Taiwan. Subsequently, core dimensions are generalized through psychology, sociology, and management. Finally, expert consensus is obtained through opinion reviews and expert consensus analysis by five experts. According to the results of this study, EXPAND core dimensions include six aspects: 1.Executive (E), 2. X-Development (X), 3. Promotion (P), 4. Agreement (A), 5. Network of Occupation (N), and 6. Daily necessity (D). The degree of consensus among the six core dimensions ranges from .95 to 1. That shows a high level of expert consensus. Based on the results, the study provides suggestions for higher education admission and research as well.
