During The Period Of "11th Five-year Plan" Of Our Country Outstanding Master's Degree Thesis Topic Content Analysis

During the eleventh five-year plan, for the development of education, the Central PartyCommittee and The State Council particularly point out that it is a priority to develop educationand set three tasks: ensuring compulsory education, promoting vocational education andenhancing the quality of higher education. To enhance the quality of higher education is the mostimportant task, which indicates that there are a lot of deficiencies in our higher education andmany aspects that need to be strengthened and improved. The cultivation of the graduate studentsis an important part of higher education. At the same time, the thesis writing capacity of thegraduate students is one of the important criteria to inspect the teaching quality of highereducation. To a certain extent, the thesis quality reflects the quality of graduate students incolleges and universities. Therefore, the article is aimed to analyze the characteristics of thetheses written by the graduate students specializing in basketball during the period of eleventhfive-year plan. In this way, the research capacity of the graduate students of basketball will berevealed. This paper adopts methods of literature review, mathematical statistics and logicalanalysis to summarize the characteristics of the theses written by the graduate studentsspecializing in basketball during the period of eleventh five-year plan. Through the analysis onthe scientific researches made by graduate students on basketball, the thesis will offer atheoretical basis for the further topic choosing and researches on basketball. The followingconclusions are drawn through the analysis:1. The distribution of master’s degree programs in Science of Physical Culture and Sportslacks balance. There are more in the coastal area than in the inland. The development of differentsubjects is also out of balance. The programs on the Theory of Sports Pedagogy and Training aremore than the other subjects.2. The theses on the Science of Physical Culture and Sports increase sharply and the theseson basketball also increase. The largest number is in2010, which is closely related to theenrollment expansion and the increasing of the programs for graduate students.3. Despite the increase in the quantity of the theses, the most frequently used methods arerelatively simple, such as technical method, method based on experience, derivational methodsfrom specific subjects and the logical analysis method. As for the mathematics method andsystematic research method of a higher level, they are rarely applied.4. The research objects are variable, but they are frequently repeated.5. Concerned with the research content, there are more domestic researches than researchesabroad, more researches within the discipline than the cross-disciplinary researches. The researchcontent is similar and lacks innovation. 6. The types of references are comprehensive. The number of the references is increasing.The foreign references are much less and most of them are in English. The journals, degreetheses, and the internet have become the main material. As for the citation of the core journals,Journal of Beijing Sport University and Journal of Wuhan Institute of Physical Education aremost frequently cited. The two journals make great contribution to the researches on basketballand are the first choice to refer to in the further researches.
