Self-managed learning, the researches of which are mainly focused on junior, high school and college students, is becoming one of the hottest researches in educational and psychological research areas in recent years. However, the same research can barely be found for post-graduated students.Based on the relating theories from both home and abroad,"the questionnaire survey about the self-managed learning level of post-graduated students"was developed, which assessed the self-managed learning levels of post-graduated students from seven different perspectives. 345 post-graduated students from S general university of Si Chuan province were selected as a research sample and through the comparison of their average scores and demography characteristics, the dissertation analyzed the current status of the level of their self-managed learning. Based on the above research, some advice for improving the level of post-graduated students'self-managed learning was also proposed through the internet interviews with 24 interviewees.Conclusions:1. The general level of self-managed learning of the post-graduated students is above average;2. There is significant difference on the general level of self-managed learning in different gender, working experience and the way being enrolled;3. The levels of self-managed learning rarely differ in the students from different places and different majors.The differences expresses mainly in the capability of self-managed learning are as below:The learning level of male students are much better than female students;The learning level of the students who has been worked are much better than others. Meanwhile the level of students enrolled by exams is largely higher than that of the regulated ones. Although the difference is not significant among the students from different origins and majors, the general level of students from suburban areas is slightly higher than their counterparts from urban areas; the level of post-graduate majored same is also higher than the ones inter-majored and the students from art majors perform better than the ones from other majors do, whereas the above-related difference is not so significant and differ in different perspectives more or less. Compared with other grades, the performance of junior post-graduates is better than the ones of other grades whereas the difference is also very slight and shows in different perspectives.Through the interviews, suggestions are proposed as below, aiming at improving the level of post-graduated students'self-managed learning:1. Stimulating the inner motives and transfer the outer motives into the inner ones;2. Improving the guiding way of the professor;3. Combining the multi-way learning and monitoring the study effectively4. Creating an excellent studying environment and academic platform;5.
