Graduate students,as the main force driving knowledge ahead,play an extremely important role in culture inheritance and academic innovation which are resulted from the academic critical thinking of themselves.Under the background of "knowledge explosion" nowadays,the education scale of graduate students are expanding ceaselessly,the positive influences of their academic critical thinking abilities are becoming much more outstanding,because they are beneficial for graduate students to develop the consciousness of judgment and discrimination,to cultivate innovative spirit and creative capability,and furthermore to promote their comprehensive qualities.Therefore,it's very meaningful and useful to do research on effective training strategies of graduate students' academic critical thinking to improve their capability of academic critical thinking and develop academic forwards.In order to do research well,firstly the study is based on the fact that at present there are some problems existing in the training of academic critical thinking, secondly using pedagogy theories and referring to the theoretical fruits of psychology, by ways of documentary arrangement and sorting,deep interviews to graduate students and tutors and comparison between foreign documents and domestic ones, thirdly analyzes the status quo of academic critical thinking and its training,discusses the main reasons for the questions reflected in investigations,and finally,based upon above-mentioned,puts forward training strategies to improve the academic critical thinking of graduate students.The study is based on theories and concrete evidences.The deep interview, which was used as investigation method,has been carried out not only to the graduate students,but also to the tutors.And it also has drawn a special attention on differences of the academic critical thinking between liberal art graduate students and science and engineering graduate students.Because of the expansion of interviewees and concretization of interview contents,the datum obtained have compensated the defects of current research to some extent and also have manifested some problems on the training of academic critical thinking of graduate students,such as importance deficient,system weak,profession lacking.According to those,on the basis of Marxist critical spirit,critical theory and intelligence and ability training theory,this thesis discusses the concrete training approaches from three aspects as colleges and universities,graduate students,tutors.In order to make the training approaches more efficient,two training methods which are namely move forward layer upon layer and draw on the wisdom of the masses,have been put forward.Because of the limit of personal capability,this issue couldn't be discussed more detailed.Therefore,the deficiency of this thesis in extent and profundity,which is not able to evoke other readers' thinking and sympathetic response,would be improved in further research in the future.
