关于研究生学术规范的教学尝试

A Teaching Attempt to Enhance Academic Rigor of Graduate Students

针对目前我国研究生在学术规范性方面存在的问题,以南京农业大学地理信息系统专业的硕士生为授课对象,在硕士专业必修课程"地学导论"中开展了尝试性的教学探索,以期促使研究生更好地掌握研究方法论,培养他们的科研能力,从而将众多知识点结合起来加以灵活运用。在教学过程中,根据哈特和海宁克提出的研究周期来安排教学内容,并以小组作业的方式,让研究生深入体会研究过程,了解研究途径,改进知识体系中的不足,取得了较好的成效。

Investigation conducted by the Office of Academic Degree Committee of the State Council revealed that academic rigor of graduate students needed to be improved.Therefore,a teaching attempt in Introduction to Geography,a compulsory course for graduate students of Nanjing Agricultural University majoring in geographic information system,was carried out to help the students to better grasp research methodology and develop their ability of scientific study so as to flexibly integrate what they have learned in their research activities.During the teaching process,the teachers arranged classes and teaching content according to the Research Cycle Theory proposed by Huter and Hennink.Graduate students were required to finish group assignment through which they could understand how research activities proceed, how to choose research approaches and hence complete what they might have ignored in their knowledge hierarchy.
