Topic selection method for graduation thesis 1. Determine the direction of graduation thesis topic as soon as possible. After the graduation thesis work is arranged, everyone should follow the basic principles of topic selection and determine the direction of topic selection in a short time. Judging from the nature of the topic selection of graduation thesis, it can be basically divided into two categories: one is the theoretical and practical problems raised in the practice of socialist modernization; The second is the basic categories and theoretical problems existing in the development of professional disciplines. College students should determine a direction from the above two categories as soon as possible according to their hobbies. Secondly, on the basis of previous investigation and study, the specific topic of graduation thesis is selected. After the direction of the topic is determined, it is necessary to further determine the scope of the topic through certain investigation and study, and finally select a specific topic. Here are two common methods of topic selection. 1. Browse-and-Capture Method This method is a method to determine the theme by reading a large number of occupied documents quickly and comparing them. Browsing generally means browsing for a certain time when the data occupies a certain amount, which is convenient for centralized comparison and identification of the data. The purpose of browsing is to ask questions in the process of chewing and digesting the existing data and find your own research topic. This requires a comprehensive reading study of the collected data. Those big and small, from different angles and different viewpoints, should be understood. You can't have an opinion after reading some materials. That's it. You are eager to start writing. You can't be "preconceived" and decide your choice according to the original ideas in your mind or the views you get after reading the first message. But to calmly and objectively analyze and think about all the information. Absorbing nutrition from the vast and rich materials and thinking about it many times is bound to find something, which is often encountered by people engaged in scientific research. Browsing and grabbing can generally be carried out according to the following steps: first, browse the data extensively. When browsing, you should always take notes, write down the outline of the material at any time, write down the views, arguments and argumentation methods that have the most profound influence on you, and write down the little experiences that come to mind. Of course, handwritten notes do not mean that you must record everything you say, but you must choose carefully and extract it purposefully and emphatically. When it's time to be detailed, it's time to be detailed. When it's time to omit, you don't need to repeatedly extract some identical or similar ideas and materials, just write down the source and page number of the materials to avoid wasting time and energy. The second step is to classify, sort out and combine all the contents obtained from reading, so as to find and find problems. Materials can be classified according to the outline, such as: systematically introducing the information about the research progress of the problem; The research situation of a problem; Information about several different views on the same issue; The latest information and achievements in studying a problem, etc. The third step is to compare my own experience in the research with the data to find out which experiences are not or partially not in the data; What experience, although the information is available, but I have different views on it; What experiences and materials are basically the same; What experiences are deepened and developed on the basis of data, and so on. After several thoughtful thinking processes, it is easy to have your own ideas. Grasp this idea in time, and then do further thinking, and the goal of the topic will gradually become clear. 2. Retrospective verification method This is a method of making a tentative plan first, and then determining the topic through reading materials for verification. This method of topic selection must first have a certain idea, that is, according to their own accumulation, initially determine the direction, subject or subject scope to be studied. But I'm not sure whether this idea is really feasible, so I still have to follow the research direction. Traceability can be considered from the following aspects: ① See whether one's "imagination" is complementary to others' viewpoints, and whether one's "imagination" is not or rarely discussed by others. If you get a positive answer, and then analyze the subjective and objective conditions in detail, as long as you can make a satisfactory answer to this topic through your efforts, you can determine "quasi-thinking" as the topic of your graduation thesis. (2) If your own "quasi-thinking" has not been talked about by others, but you still lack sufficient reasons to demonstrate it, considering the limitation of writing time, you should stop and re-conceive. (2) See if "quasi-thinking" is repeated with others. If your thoughts are exactly the same as others, you should immediately change your "imagination" and rethink; If your own ideas and other people's research results are only partially repeated, you should narrow down the scope and do in-depth research without repeating. (4) Be good at grasping the bright spot of an idea, clinging to it and studying it deeply. When reading literature or investigating, there are sometimes some sparks of thought. Although the idea is simple and hazy, it has not yet taken shape, but you must not give up easily. Because this kind of ideological spark is often a rational sublimation after a lot of research on a certain problem, it is very valuable if we can catch and trace the trend in time and finally form our own views. The topic selection method of retrospective verification is based on subjective "imagination", following the existing research results step by step along a certain direction, all the way to the end, in order to obtain "one's own views". But this subjective "imagination" is by no means "imagination out of thin air", it must be based on objective facts and needs.
