1, and the Opinions clarify the responsibilities of tutors. Doctoral supervisor is a post established for the needs of doctoral training, not a fixed level or honorary title in the professional title system. The primary task of doctoral tutor is to cultivate talents, undertake the responsibility of ideological and political education of doctoral students, the cultivation of academic norms and the cultivation of innovative ability, and strictly abide by the guiding code of conduct of graduate tutors.
Training units should effectively protect and standardize doctoral tutors' enrollment rights, guidance rights, evaluation rights and management rights, firmly support tutors to strictly manage doctoral studies according to laws and regulations, enhance doctoral tutors' sense of responsibility, mission and honor, and create a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching.
2. At the same time, the Opinions call for a sound system of selecting and employing people. Training units should formulate comprehensive selection criteria for doctoral supervisors from the aspects of political quality, teachers' morality, academic level, educational ability, guidance experience and training conditions, so as to avoid determining the selection conditions solely by papers and research funds;
It is necessary to formulate perfect methods for the selection and appointment of doctoral supervisors, adhere to fairness and openness, conscientiously perform the selection and appointment procedures, and establish a system of regular review and dynamic adjustment of enrollment qualifications to ensure the quality of the selection and appointment of doctoral supervisors; It is necessary to strictly control teachers with deputy senior and below titles as doctoral supervisors.
Before independently guiding doctoral students, doctoral tutors should generally have the experience of guiding master students or assisting in guiding doctoral students. For foreign tutors, part-time tutors and off-campus tutors, training units should put forward special employment requirements.
3. Newly hired doctoral tutors must receive pre-job training, and in-service doctoral tutors must participate in training at least once a year. It is necessary to take political theory, national conditions education, rule of law education, tutor's responsibilities, teachers' morality, postgraduate education policy, teaching management system, guiding methods, scientific research integrity, academic ethics, academic norms and psychological knowledge as training contents, and ensure the training effect through expert reports, experience sharing, study and discussion, etc.
4. In the evaluation system, the training unit should formulate scientific evaluation criteria for doctoral supervisors, improve evaluation methods, incorporate political performance, teachers' morality, academic level, guiding energy input and educational effect into the evaluation system, and comprehensively evaluate the work performance of doctoral supervisors. Relying on the annual assessment, strengthen the evaluation of teaching process, combine the tutor's self-evaluation with peer evaluation, student evaluation and manager evaluation, and establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation mechanism.
5. In addition, training units should pay attention to the use of evaluation results of doctoral supervisors, and take the evaluation results as an important basis for performance distribution and evaluation, as an important basis for the annual enrollment qualification and enrollment plan distribution of tutors, and give full play to the education, guidance and incentive functions of evaluation and evaluation.
6. The Opinions also proposed to improve the tutor replacement system. Graduate students and tutors can apply for changing tutors because of doctoral students' transfer, major change, research direction change, or tutors' health reasons. For conflicts between teachers and students or other situations that are not conducive to maintaining a good relationship between teachers and students, the training unit shall, in line with the principle of protecting the rights and interests of both teachers and students, give timely mediation, terminate the relationship between teachers and students when necessary, and re-determine the tutor.
7. For tutors who fail to effectively perform their post responsibilities and have serious problems in doctoral enrollment, training and degree awarding, the training unit should take measures such as interviewing, restricting recruitment, stopping recruitment and quitting the tutor post as appropriate.
8. Those who violate the law and discipline should be dealt with severely, and those responsible should be held accountable.
9. The doctoral students involved in the tutor's withdrawal from the guidance post should be properly arranged and follow-up training should be done.
10, the training unit should scientifically determine the post scale of doctoral tutor according to various factors, reasonably determine the number of doctoral tutors to guide doctoral students, and ensure the energy input of tutors to guide doctoral students.
People's Daily Overseas Network-Ministry of Education issued a document to support doctoral supervision and strictly control doctoral study. If there is a contradiction between teachers and students, you can re-determine the tutor.
