We conducted a survey on what high school teachers think should be done to improve the university entrance examination. The teachers were asked to express freely their ideas on the issue. Two rators coded the contents of 1, 332 free description answers into 91 categories in order to analyze them statistically. The number of answers with each category was counted and the major ideas were reported. Some of the major findings are as follows.(1)There are some ideas which were stated by many teachers and yet there are hardly any opposite ideas to them.(2)Some teachers showed opposite ideas to some other teachers' concerning six different topics on the university entrance examination.(3)The 0-1 type data matrix analyzed by dual scaling produced multiple dimensions major three of which were interpreted. The results suggested that each idea of improvement has both positive and negative aspects. We further discussed what should be taken into consideration to analyze free description answers.
