On Feasibility of Project-based Teaching Methods on Supervisor's Research Course

本研究探讨在研究生专题课上,依托导师科研项目,系统进行授课、论文设计展示和研讨以及师生点评等教学活动以提高研究生学术能力的可行性。采用课堂观察,半结构访谈和文本收集相结合的研究方法对四名研究生进行个案研究,分析发现学生倾向于接受导师提供的论文题目;文献整理或问题设计等遇到问题时,学生会主动与导师沟通;论文设计展示和研讨活动过程中建立的学生间的互动关系是同学解决论文撰写问题的一个主要策略,提升了研究生学习自主性,也提高了研究生学术英语写作质量。

This paper explores the feasibility of the teaching mode of blending lectures, performances and comments on advi- sor＇s research course based on advisor＇s projects. Evidences were collected through the methods of semi -structural interviews and class observations and presentation profiles. The results show that students have the inclination to obtaining a topic from their advi- sors and they are always ready to negotiate with advisors if problems rise relevant to literature reviews and research questions. It is also found that interaction relation established with other students on Thesis proposal presentation and small -scaled conferences is the major solution for students to the Thesis writing difficulties.
