ABSTRACT

A lack of attention to information sources or inadequate access to them are important causes of wrong decisions in higher education. A survey of senior three students found the sources that can be used for senior three students in higher education are undiversified, and senior three students’ information consciousness is weak. Additionally, significant differences exist between individuals. Several steps are suggested to enrich information channels, such as constructing the information intermediary that the government leads or controls, establishing long-term effective information transmission between universities and high schools, and setting up student development guidance courses in high school. We should, at the same time, encourage senior three students to pay more attention to higher education information to reduce the decision risk.
