博士生延期毕业类型与学位论文质量——基于“全国博士毕业生调查”数据的分析

The Types of Delayed Doctoral Graduates and the Quality of Dissertations

分析9816份博士毕业生的问卷调查数据,结果发现:第一,四成以上延期毕业博士生的学位论文质量得分超过了按期毕业博士生的学位论文质量均值。第二,根据学位论文是否高质量可将延期毕业博士生分为两类群体,学位论文高质量的延期毕业者在学术时间投入上显著高于按期毕业者,但其就读心理压力较大。第三,学位论文高质量的延期毕业者更可能出现在一流大学、科研院所以及基础学科领域,学术志趣明确和有境外学习经历的博士生更可能成为学位论文高质量的延期毕业者。为此,培养单位应针对合理延期毕业的博士生采取更具包容性和支持性的管理政策。

Based on the analysis of 9816 questionnaire data of doctoral graduates,it reveals that:first,over 40%of delayed doctoral graduates had higher scores of dissertation quality than the average score of those who graduated on time.Second,delayed doctoral graduates could be divided into two groups based on whether their dissertation was of high quality.Delayed doctoral graduates with high quality dissertations(DDGHQD)had significantly higher academic time investment than those who graduated on time,but they faced greater psychological pressure during their studies;Third,DDGHQD were more likely to appear in top universities,research institutes and basic science fields.Doctoral students with clear academic career aspirations and overseas study experience were more likely to become DDGHQD.It suggests that doctoral education institutes should adopt more inclusive and supportive policies for doctoral students who reasonably delay graduation.
