Adapt to the new normal of graduate education and actively promote the reform of training mechanisms
——Promoting Graduate Education Reform Series Interviews (二）
Editor's note: The formulation of the "13th Five-Year Plan" is about to start. Against the background of my country's higher education reform, especially the new development trends in degree and postgraduate education, degree management work, as an important test link for the quality of w88 casino talent training, is summarized in the "12th Five-Year Plan" "On the basis of planning the completion of various goals, the reporter interviewed Wang Ying, director of the Degree Office of the Graduate w88 casino, on how to further emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, and better implement various tasks of the comprehensive reform of w88 casino's graduate education in degree review, tutor management, and degree authorization point evaluation.
Reporter: With the continuous expansion of enrollment scale, how to control the export quality of graduate students has become a common concern of w88 casino and even the whole society. At this point, are there any practices worth introducing?
Graduate w88 casino:Establishing and improving the self-monitoring system and operating mechanism for degree awarding quality, strengthening degree review management, and improving the quality of degree awarding are a constant and unremitting work of the Graduate w88 casino. They are an important part of the guarantee mechanism in the "Decision on the Comprehensive Reform of Graduate Education" issued by w88 casino last semester. Regarding the "export quality" of graduate students, I would like to introduce to you several methods.
First of all, we resolutely adopt a high-pressure policy and a zero-tolerance attitude towards academic misconduct in dissertations that is of widespread public concern. This semester, on the basis of full investigation and extensive solicitation of opinions from teachers and students, w88 casino revised the "Measures for Detection and Treatment of Academic Misconduct in Dissertations", changing the detection standards from the original "30%and50%The two red lines were lowered respectively10%, that is20%and40%, making the judgment standards more stringent; in terms of procedures, a similarity test is conducted before and after the defense to avoid students' cheating behavior in the test. At the same time, we insist on publishing relevant information about test results online and classifying and summarizing them, which will help further strengthen the guidance responsibilities of tutors, increase students' attention, and facilitate horizontal comparisons between colleges and disciplines. I believe that the implementation of this document will play a positive role in improving the originality of w88 casino's dissertations.
Secondly, strengthen the quality supervision and blind review of degree theses. At the doctoral level, improve the review and publicity of proposal reports, encourage colleges to implement a pre-defense system, establish a double-blind review expert database for doctoral dissertations, and improve the scientific nature and pertinence of dissertation submissions. At the master's level, the time for moving the topic should be advanced appropriately to ensure sufficient time for thesis writing. Increase the coverage of double-blind reviews by15%Expand to20%, implement a method of submission for review that combines "must-select" (if the similarity does not pass the initial inspection, etc.) and "random selection", establish an effective connection mechanism between similarity testing and double-blind review, better utilize the dual supervision role of machine testing and human review, and try to avoid papers with quality risks from entering the defense process.
Third, in the defense session, in order to improve the transparency and standardization of the defense and build a platform for academic exchanges, the Graduate w88 casino tried the online live broadcast of the dissertation defense for the first time this semester. The live broadcast is open to all teachers and students in the w88 casino and is recommended by each college6Representative Ph.D.s participated. During the live broadcast, the personal statements of the respondents were comprehensive and detailed, and the opinions of experts and respondents were intensely exchanged, which fully demonstrated the characteristics and achievements of doctoral training in each w88 casino. In recent years, the Graduate w88 casino has also relied on various on-campus media, such as the graduate comprehensive information management system, campus network, and on-campus electronic bulletin boards, to publicize all doctoral and master's defense information, widely publicize it, accept public supervision, and arrange a graduate teaching supervision team to spot-check the defense status and hold special symposiums to provide feedback. The results are very good.
Fourth, in terms of subsequent paper quality monitoring, we actively cooperate with the national and Beijing city’s random inspections of doctoral and master’s degree theses, and submit the random inspection papers in a timely manner. At the same time, the w88 casino is exploring a mechanism for experts to randomly inspect papers after the defense and provide feedback on the quality of the papers, forming a useful supplement to the national and Beijing degree thesis random inspections. After the degree awarding work is completed, the electronic information and dissertations of degree recipients shall be carefully publicized and reported to accept public supervision and accept reports from the society regarding misconduct in dissertations and degrees.
Reporter: In addition to ensuring the overall quality of papers by improving the quality assurance and supervision system just mentioned, are there any new measures in the evaluation and recommendation of dissertations?
Graduate w88 casino:It is true that the quality assurance and supervision system can effectively ensure the overall quality or average level of papers and reduce the number of unqualified papers, but in fact this work has a deeper significance and is also an important goal of our continuous improvement of the quality assurance and supervision system, which is to produce more excellent papers based on the continuous improvement of the overall quality. The purpose of the paper similarity detection and double-blind review just mentioned is to constrain, screen out papers with insufficient standards, and eliminate hidden problems; on the other hand, quality assurance and supervision, the purpose of the evaluation and recommendation work is to inspire, set an example, and lead in a positive way. In recent years, the Graduate w88 casino has insisted on selecting outstanding doctoral and master's theses at the w88 casino level. Last year there were3Dr. He14Master’s degree candidates, this year3Famous Doctors and Doctors12Master's students were selected, laying a solid foundation for high-level talents to stand out. The doctoral thesis of Wang Mingxi, the winner of the w88 casino-level excellent doctorate, was selected for the National 100 Excellent Doctoral Thesis Nomination Award. In addition, the Graduate w88 casino has given strong support to the selection of outstanding dissertations organized by the graduate teaching committee of each major, and actively organized applications from relevant colleges. So far, it has won the National Excellent Dissertation for Finance Master1, National Outstanding Dissertation for Master of Accountancy1, National Outstanding Dissertation for Master of International Business1, which plays a great role in promoting talent cultivation and improving the quality of w88 casino's professional degree theses.
The dissertation of a graduate student is a manifestation of the results of scientific research and social practice during the graduate's study at w88 casino. It is a reflection of the academic training of students by instructors. It is a reflection of the quality of high-level talent training and the level of running a w88 casino. In the future, we will increase our efforts to recommend and evaluate the best dissertations.
Reporter: Doctors are an important force in scientific research in universities. What are the requirements for scientific research publications of doctors in w88 casino? What measures are taken to supervise PhD students who have not completed scientific research publications while in w88 casino?
Graduate w88 casino:In order to guide doctoral students to attach importance to and devote themselves to scientific research, and encourage them to complete high-quality scientific research publications during their degree studies, w88 casino has implemented a system linking the awarding of doctoral degrees with scientific research publications. Doctors must complete three high-quality scientific research results stipulated in w88 casino's "Doctoral Thesis Publication Requirements and Review Rules" before obtaining a degree. In order to ensure that this requirement is implemented and the employment interests of doctoral students are taken into consideration while strictly implementing the policy,201421728_2186357Ph.D.s obtained diplomas based on “separation of two certificates”, including17The human science research report has met the requirements and successfully obtained the degree.
The "separation of two certificates" system reflects the w88 casino's strict requirements for the scientific research and publication capabilities of doctoral students. It should be said that doctoral students should become a new force in scientific research in universities. Independent and creative scientific research in professional fields is an ability that a qualified doctor should have. We also hope that current doctoral students and students who are about to enter the doctoral stage will cherish their time studying in w88 casino, make full use of various high-quality resources in the w88 casino, and continuously improve their scientific research capabilities.
Reporter: Supervisors are the first person responsible for graduate student training and play an irreplaceable and important role in the education of doctoral and master's students. In the process of deepening reforms, what innovative measures does the graduate w88 casino take in building a team of tutors?
Graduate w88 casino:导师制是研究生教育的重要特色，导师是研究生成长成才的指路人，因此加强导师队伍建设是全面提高研究生培养质量的基石。 Regarding the work of tutors, assessment and merit evaluation are undoubtedly the two traditional methods. How to make the traditional method more scientific, standardized and reasonable in line with the orientation of graduate student training and promote the construction of a team of tutors is an important consideration for our work innovation. We have successively reformed the doctoral supervisor selection system into a doctoral supervisor recognition system, and introduced supporting measures for doctoral supervisor qualification assessment and training quality assessment; we also plan to take the lead in implementing quantitative scoring methods in the evaluation of tutors. The innovative ideas of these management measures are based on the growth of graduate students. The basic concept is: change subjective selection to objective identification, change expert review to quantification, focus on the academic achievements of the tutors themselves and the students they guide, highlight the scientific research orientation, highlight the "research" characteristics of graduate training, highlight the quality and effectiveness of talent training, and at the same time promote scientific norms in the construction of the tutor team, reduce human and administrative intervention, avoid assessment and evaluation becoming a formality, and truly let the quality of training speak for itself and academic strength.
Reporter: This year is the year when the national degree authorization point evaluation work was officially launched and fully rolled out. Can you tell us something about w88 casino’s work in this area?
Graduate w88 casino:Everyone is familiar with the w88 casino’s degree authorization points. w88 casino currently has theoretical economics, applied economics, law, business administration, and statistics5Ph.D. programs in first-level disciplines,8First-level master’s degree programs and12Master's degree professional degree authorization points, covering five major disciplines: economics, management, literature, law, and science. This round of degree authorization point evaluation can be said to be a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of talent training. w88 casino has1First-level subject master’s degree authorization points and7Professional degree master’s authorized points participate in special evaluation,5Ph.D. authorization points in first-level disciplines,3first-level subject master’s degree authorization points and2Professional degree and master’s degree authorization points participate in the qualification assessment. At present, various assessment tasks are being carried out in an orderly manner. For this evaluation, w88 casino’s work can be summarized as16Words: "Full participation, winning by quality, highlighting characteristics, and promoting construction through evaluation." The w88 casino has issued the "Self-evaluation Work Plan for Degree Authorization Points of the w88 casino" and opened an online publicity column. The whole w88 casino is a game of chess. Based on the subject authorization points, the w88 casino has a scientific division of labor, united top management, and joint evaluation; in the evaluation, it pays attention to the effectiveness of the construction of degree authorization points and talent training. A comprehensive and true display of the quality of education, all content is supported by detailed basic data information, speaks with quality engineering and factual materials, and strives to be objective; highlights the w88 casino's international education characteristics, encourages subject authorization points to introduce international assessments in self-assessments, and at the same time, in special assessments It fully embodies the advantages of w88 casino's international development and spares no effort to demonstrate the international certification process of w88 casino's relevant discipline authorization points; of course, evaluation is not the end, and evaluation to promote construction is our purpose. We hope to use the spring breeze of the national degree authorization point evaluation work to conduct a comprehensive review and inspection of the w88 casino's degree authorization point construction and talent training, condense the w88 casino's superior educational resources and subject characteristics, timely discover shortcomings and deficiencies, further dynamically adjust the effective allocation of educational resources, and further clarify the development direction of subject integration and characteristic construction. In any case, our ultimate goal is still the growth of graduate students, or how to use the w88 casino's optimal allocation of educational resources to cultivate high-end innovative talents that best meet the needs of social development.
