Is the specific format of the opening report school ready? How many words are you going to write? You can ask if you don't understand. I hope I can help you. I wish the topic selection of the opening report passed smoothly and the graduation thesis writing process went smoothly.
Technical route generally refers to the process of preparation, initiation, conduct, repetition and achievement of research, not the writing process of graduation thesis or the preparation and conduct of defense. Many students will make these mistakes.
Refer to the same type of papers. The technical route is actually about the overall thinking, logical reasoning process and argumentation method adopted in your paper.
In the whole process of postgraduate education, the quality of dissertations is an important symbol to measure the quality of postgraduate training. The quality of the paper depends largely on the detail of the opening report. The opening report of the paper is very detailed. Although it takes a lot of time in the early stage, it is very convenient to write the paper, ensuring the quality and quantity of the paper to be completed within the specified time. However, if we don't pay attention to the thesis opening report and regard it as a form, then writing a thesis will have no goal, no direction and no ideas, and it may take more detours, and it is difficult to ensure the quality of graduation thesis.
First, the significance of the thesis opening report
The opening report of master's thesis is an explanatory report on the topic selection and implementation of master's thesis written by graduate students after completing literature research. The paper opening report is the focus of literature research, and also the dispersion point of paper research, which plays a positioning role in research work.
The purpose of writing a thesis opening report is to ask teachers and experts to help judge whether the research topic is valuable, whether the research method is effective, and whether the argument logic is obviously flawed. Therefore, the opening report of the paper should focus on the main contents of the study, the main problems to be solved (or the main viewpoints expounded), the research steps, methods and measures. However, in my work practice, I found that many students often spend a lot of ink to describe other people's research results in their thesis opening reports, but when it comes to their own research methods, they often pass in a few words. This is not convenient for the evaluation teacher to guide.
Second, how to write a thesis opening report
(A) the premise of the thesis opening report-through theoretical thinking on the topic.
In work practice, it is found that the common problem in the opening report of master's thesis is that the topic is inappropriate. Some topics are too "mediocre", some topics are too broad, the research content is too broad, and the topics are not in line with the reality of master students, so it is difficult to practice. For example, the topic of the paper put forward by some students is "Study on New Neutral Nickel Catalyst and Its Catalytic Synthesis of Polyethylene and Polypropylene". This topic is meaningful and innovative, and the author's research ideas are correct. However, the scope of the thesis is too large, and the research content is obviously too much, so a master student can't finish it on time. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the research content and pay attention to the operability of the project.
So how to choose research questions? The emphasis here is to discover research problems through theoretical thinking.
A theory is a logical system composed of a series of premises and terms. Theories in specific fields have their specific concepts, categories and research paradigms. Only under the same concepts, perspectives and paradigms can theories speak. Only through dialogue can theory develop. It is difficult for master's and doctoral dissertations to create new theories, and most of them are developed on the basis of existing theories.
Secondly, the problem of choice is a process of "peeling", and theoretical problems are always deeply hidden behind complex reality. Finding theoretical problems requires the ability to use theoretical thinking. This requires us to constantly exercise and improve our theoretical thinking ability. In our daily study, we need to constantly sum up and analyze from what angles predecessors generally analyze and study problems, what theoretical tools and methods are used, and constantly improve our theoretical thinking ability through study and summary, so as to choose research problems with academic theoretical value and application value, which are closely integrated with national economic construction and scientific research projects undertaken by tutors.
(2) Do a good job of literature review and lay a good foundation for the opening report of the paper.
At the opening report meeting of graduate thesis, the common problems are insufficient literature study, insufficient understanding of research background, insufficient comprehensive and detailed understanding of the specific progress of research direction at home and abroad, and weak pertinence and comparability of data citation. Many students don't fully understand the difference between the opening report and the literature review. Many of their thesis opening reports only describe the work of their predecessors, but rarely involve their own work.
The basic contents of literature review include: current situation at home and abroad; Research direction; Progress; There is a problem; Reference basis. This is an arrangement of academic viewpoints and theoretical methods. At the same time, literature review is still critical, and the author should summarize and comment on the literature with his own critical eyes, rather than just "piling up" academic research in related fields.
If you want to write a good paper opening report, you must carefully study the literature, have a preliminary understanding of the research topic, and know what others have done and what aspects can be used as the starting point for your own research. Therefore, the depth and comprehensiveness of literature research will greatly affect the quality of the thesis opening report, which is the objective basis for students to give full play to their subjective initiative.
(C) the format and writing skills of the thesis opening report
1. Paper opening report format
A clear topic often implies the basic conclusion of the paper. Comments on the shortcomings of the existing literature also basically suggest the direction of improvement. The opening report of the paper is to clearly show these implied conclusions and the logical reasoning of the conclusion. Writing steps of thesis opening report: topic selection-topic summary-topic selection-thesis opening report. The basic contents of the thesis opening report mainly include: the significance of the topic selection; The main contents of the study; The main problems to be solved (the main points); Research (work) steps, methods and measures; Outline of graduation thesis (design); Main references. In order to write a good opening report, graduate department of Jiangsu University of Technology has specially issued detailed regulations, which stipulate that the general contents of the opening report include:
(1) Paper Opening Report-Source, basis and background, research purpose, theoretical significance and practical application value of the topic.
(2) The opening report of the paper-literature review. On the basis of reading a specified amount of literature (not less than 50 articles, of which foreign literature accounts for more than 40%), this paper mainly introduces the research status and development trend of this research topic at home and abroad, and introduces the scope, methods and means of consulting literature.
(3) Opening report-the main research content. Including academic conception, research methods, key technologies, technical route, implementation plan, feasibility analysis, possible difficulties in research, solutions and measures, expected goals, etc.
(4) The opening report of the paper-the experimental means to be adopted, the required scientific research and experimental conditions, the estimated project workload and required funds, and the research progress plan.
(5) Paper opening report-main references, with at least 10 references listed.
2. Writing skills of thesis opening report
(1) Pay attention to the "hierarchy" when asking questions.
Choosing a topic is the first step in writing an academic paper. Whether the topic is appropriate or not is directly related to the quality of the paper, and even to the success or failure of the paper. Different from policy research reports, academic articles focus on the theoretical level and solve theoretical problems. Some students' topics are not novel and their contents are not innovative. They are just a summary of previous work, or a repetition of previous work. We should adhere to the principles of advanced, scientific, practical and feasible when selecting topics. When asking questions, use terms and clear logic that "experts" can understand. Topic sources include: 1, familiar questions related to one's actual work or scientific research; 2. A problem in my professional industry is developing rapidly and needs comprehensive evaluation; 3. Choose a topic that reflects the new theory, technology or trend of this discipline from a large number of documents.
Don't choose too big a topic. The more specific it is, the easier it is to collect information and go deep from a certain side.
(2) aim at the mainstream literature and sort it out at any time.
Literature is the basis of writing a good academic paper. The more literature, the easier it is to write. When selecting documents, we should choose the core journals and classic works of this discipline, and pay attention to the representativeness, reliability and scientificity of the selected documents. When selecting documents, we should look at the recent period (nearly 3-5 years) before looking at the long term, and read the materials extensively. If necessary, you should also read the original text quoted by relevant documents, and pay attention to reading cards or reading notes when reading.
When sorting out materials, we should pay attention to organizing documents according to problems. When writing a literature review, don't list all the materials you see, but extract them according to certain ideas. Only in this way can we write a good literature review and a good paper opening report, thus laying the foundation for writing a good paper.
(3) The research objective is concrete but not rigid.
Generally, the opening report of a paper requires that the research goal of the paper should be clear, but the author thinks that the research goal should not be too rigid, because even if the conditions are certain, it is often difficult to accurately judge the level of the goal. The research itself involves the factors of seeking knowledge, and the conditions in each laboratory are different. The topic selection and research objectives of the paper reflect the value characteristics of the research work.
Third, the quality assurance of the thesis opening report
In order to ensure the quality of postgraduate training and improve the quality of thesis, it is necessary to evaluate the thesis opening report. The opening report of the thesis is reviewed by 3~5 experts in related disciplines, and 1~2 experts with corresponding senior titles can be hired for major scientific research projects in cooperation with enterprises. The focus of the opening report of papers in different disciplines is different. Graduate department of Jiangsu Institute of Technology stipulates that students must make a paper opening report and a unified format, and designed a special paper opening report evaluation form. At the paper opening report meeting, graduate students should make a detailed report on the topic and make necessary explanations and explanations for the experts' questions. The results of the paper opening report are marked as qualified and unqualified. Finally, the members of the evaluation team sign their names, give their opinions on whether the students are qualified or not, and give specific scores with a percentage system. Those who fail to pass the opening report of the thesis are not allowed to enter the study.
In order to improve the quality of graduate students' thesis, we should first pay attention to the opening report of the thesis, pay attention to accumulation in our usual study, improve our ability from all aspects, and especially pay attention to cultivating the ability to discover and study problems through theoretical thinking. The thesis opening report is the beginning of research work, and a good beginning has laid a solid foundation for excellent dissertation.
