In the past years,colleges and universities have greatly increased the number of students,the number of master's students in China showed a trend of rapid increase.The growing number of graduate students has aroused the general concern of the academic circle and the society for the quality of graduate education,among which the entrance examination is the hot spot of public opinion.This concern stems from the importance of graduate education,and also reflects the increasing competition in examinations caused by the expanding proportion of push and free.Why do ordinary examinees who do not have the qualification of pushing or exempting choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination? How to prepare for the exam? What are the feelings and thoughts in preparing for the exam? People often don't know.This requires us to pay attention to the postgraduate entrance examination students,understand their learning process in the preparation process,the influence of various factors,the personal growth experience and experience.These real and in-depth individual feedback helps to highlight the perspective of students and provide more information reference for the quality assurance of postgraduate training.This paper takes "the experience of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination" as the research object,and takes the postgraduate entrance examination of pedagogy as an example.Thirty candidates from five universities in Jiangsu Province are selected to conduct qualitative interviews to collect the first-hand information about the experience of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.Then through the coding analysis of maxqda2020 qualitative research software,we get the experience of "the choice of preparing for the examination","the learning experience of preparing for the examination" and "the capital experience of preparing for the examination".Finally,from the micro,meso and macro perspective,the paper makes a systematic analysis of the test preparation experience.The main conclusions are as follows:1.The choice of test preparation includes the choice of test preparation,the choice of test preparation school and the choice of test preparation pedagogy.First of all,the "decision to prepare for the exam" is the result of internal and external driving,which has not only individual goals,but also the influence of important others,undergraduate schools and social atmosphere.Secondly,the choice of test preparation schools reflects the differences in the types of examinees' dominant needs,and the needs of safety,social interaction,respect and self realization affect the final choice.Finally,the choice of pedagogy for examination preparation is influenced by both rational and irrational factors.2.Test preparation learning involves learning content,learning style and learning psychology.First of all,as far as the unified examination of pedagogy is concerned,the learning content includes English 1,ideological and political theory and pedagogy,which can be analyzed in detail according to the question type or content.Secondly,learning methods are divided into preparing for the exam alone and assisting by training institutions,which reflects the great difference between "self-help" and "other help" from many aspects.Finally,learning psychology emphasizes the adjustment of motivation intensity,the control of anxiety level and the cultivation of psychological quality.3.Test preparation capital includes intellectual personality capital,family cultural capital,interpersonal emotional capital and test preparation economic capital.First of all,extroversive personality with high intelligence,conscientious personality with middle intelligence and neurotic personality with low intelligence are different in the preparation of the three subjects.Secondly,family cultural capital reflects the differences of concretization,objectification and institutionalization.Thirdly,interpersonal emotional capital includes the external emotional capital of "others" and the internal emotional capital of "oneself".Finally,the economic capital of test preparation reflects the great difference between the cost of test preparation alone and the cost of institutional training.4.The systematic analysis of test preparation experience includes the analysis of micro,medium and macro perspectives.First of all,from the micro perspective,we can see that "examination hell" brings destruction,"important others" encourage moderately,"only asking about cultivation" achieves cultivation.Secondly,we can see that the "class" characteristics of test preparation can not be ignored,the "low grade" of test preparation runs on undergraduate education,and the disadvantages of "information black box" in enrollment.Finally,from the macro perspective,we can see the contribution of "knowledge changes destiny" to the society,the dilemma between fairness and efficiency,the dim prospect of the optimization of test preparation experience,and the long way to learn from international experience.Through literature research,qualitative interview,software analysis and comparative research,this paper comprehensively and deeply shows the experience of preparing for the entrance examination of master students,enriches the research of preparing for the examination,highlights the perspective of students,and reflects the scientific and cutting-edge of maxqda software analysis.The research has a strong theoretical application value: Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is conducive to explaining the choice of preparation schools,Coleman's rational choice theory is conducive to explaining the choice of preparation subjects,tapperth's personality factor theory is conducive to presenting the intellectual personality capital of preparation,Bourdieu's capital theory is conducive to presenting the cultural capital and economic capital of preparation,and Thomson's emotional capital theory is conducive to presenting The interpersonal emotional capital of test preparation.The research also has practical significance: to provide reference for students at different stages of postgraduate entrance examination,to provide information and analysis framework for those who are concerned about postgraduate entrance examination,and to provide feedback from candidates' terminals for postgraduate entrance examination reform.
