Empirical Research On Postgraduate Research Experience

The quality is the lifeline of graduate education which is directly related to the sustainable development of graduate education.With the rapid development of higher education,the problem of postgraduate education is increasingly prominent.How to ensure the quality of postgraduate education has become the top issue for graduate education workers,and the education department attach great importance to it.At present,the evaluation of the quality of graduate education in China emphasizes more on the professional evaluation by administrative departments and experts,but less on the needs of graduate students.The evaluation mainly focuses on the investigation of resource investment and school-running conditions,but pays less attention to the situation of postgraduate study,so it is impossible to know whether the resources and environment provided by the university have promoted the growth and development of postgraduates.Research experience mainly reflects what the graduate students have gained in the training process.The investigation of graduate students' research experience helps us understand how graduate students view the resources provided by the university and their research experience.Scientific research experience,as a new perspective to evaluate the quality of graduate education,pays more attention to the scientific research experience and cognition of graduate students.It can effectively understand the deficiencies of various institutions in the process of graduate education,and help colleges and universities to further improve and perfect the existing problems and improve the quality of graduate education.After reading relevant literatures,it is found that research experience investigation has become the main way to guarantee the quality of postgraduate education in foreign countries,such as Britain and Australia.In recent years,the domestic researchers begun to focus on the importance of scientific research experience investigation in graduate education quality evaluation,but basically researches on introduction to scientific research experience investigation and analysis,emphatically probes into the tool of scientific research experience abroad investigation,the evaluation idea and experience and results of investigation,study the empirical investigation of inadequacy.Therefore,from the perspective of the graduate student scientific research experience,drawing lessons from existing research tool and make appropriate modification formulation of the "graduate student scientific research experience questionnaire",then adopting the method of random sampling to select three colleges and universities in Chongqing(S university,university of X university,C)part of the graduate student questionnaire survey,a total of 345 questionnaires,the recovery of 321 questionnaires,304 valid questionnaires,effective rate was 94.7%.Then,the statistical analysis software SPSS19.0 was used to sort out and analyze the survey data to understand the status quo of postgraduate students in tutor guidance,resource conditions,academic atmosphere and ability development.On this basis,in order to have a deeper understanding of the experience of graduate students in various dimensions,14 respondents were selected for in-depth interviews.The results show that,in general,the research experience level of postgraduates is relatively high,but there is still some room for improvement.Through the analysis of the mean and percentage of each dimension,it is found that there are the following problems in the research experience of postgraduates.the academic atmosphere at the department level is not strong enough.In terms of resource conditions,the access to professional resources is limited.In terms of ability development,the innovation and creativity ability and career development ability of postgraduates are relatively low.Through the analysis of the differences of different groups of graduate students in various indicators of scientific research experience,it is found that the level of scientific research experience of graduate students is significantly lower than that of previous graduate students,and is significantly lower than that of graduate students in 2017 in terms of tutor guidance.At the same time,the research experience level of exempt graduate students is significantly lower than that of the national unified examination graduate students and the graduate students of the master's degree.In addition,in terms of the experience of resource conditions,graduate students from project 211 universities are significantly higher than those from general universities.The results also show that the number of graduate student each month and mentor face-to-face communication significantly influence the scientific research level of experience,to participate in the number of subjects to the graduate student ability development have a significant impact,with an increase in the number of graduate paper,their ability in the development level of experience and academic atmosphere also will increase,the more willingness to recommend others to attend the university graduate students,the higher its level of scientific research experience.Based on the findings of the study,this paper puts forward some specific suggestions and countermeasures to improve the experience of graduate research on the basis of full discussion of the results: first,strengthen the guidance for graduate students in employment and graduation,effectively relieve their double pressure.The second is to help free graduate students quickly through the adaptation period,so that they can more quickly and better into graduate life and study;Third,we should try our best to create the academic atmosphere at the department level and give full play to the core role of the department in talent training.Fourth,to strengthen the interaction between teachers and students,especially to improve the effectiveness of the guidance of graduate tutors;Fifth,we should strengthen the development of the comprehensive ability of postgraduates,especially the ability of innovation and creation and career planning.Sixth,increase the investment of professional resources in postgraduate education and promote the improvement of the professional level of postgraduates.
