Choosing a topic is not a fantasy. I think what kind of topics are good and what kind of topics can be evaluated. This is a topic of betting, which is difficult to evaluate.
There are three conditions for applying for a project:
First of all, you should have early results on the topics you have started or are studying. When judging, we first look at whether the applicant has previous achievements. This is a very important condition.
In addition to our previous achievements, we should also understand the domestic research in this field. For example, the rural research base of Huazhong Normal University has collected all the articles on rural issues published in China, and then divided these articles into several categories according to their contents. Mastering these information is very beneficial for applying for disciplines in this field.
The second is to have on-the-spot investigation data on the declared subject, or to summarize the experience data created by the people. In other words, the applicant should have its own characteristics, and there will be no characteristics without field investigation data. For example, a project declared by a unit in Hubei Province: the study on the construction of political power in mountainous villages and towns, not only investigated the situation in mountainous areas of Hubei Province, but also investigated the situation of township governments in mountainous areas of Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces. No one can get these actual data, only this unit can get it, which shows that it has its own characteristics and must be approved. Wang Zongli of Northwest Normal University declared "Research on the Political Consciousness of Northwest Minorities", and he mastered the information of the political concept and consciousness of northwest herdsmen, so he was evaluated. In addition, Guangdong Sun Yat-sen University and some teaching and research institutions have studied all aspects of the Pearl River Delta; The research on "Southern Jiangsu Model" by teaching and scientific research institutions in Jiangsu Province is easy to be evaluated.
All these indicate that the application subject must have actual investigation. In practice, only with the data of actual investigation can you declare the characteristics of your reported topic, otherwise your topic will not impress people.
Three, the declaration of discipline should comply with the requirements of the "discipline guide". Of course, we don't mean to use the topic of "topic guide" as the topic when reporting the topic, but we mean that the reported topic should conform to the scope of "topic guide".
The National Social Science Fund formulates a guide once a year, and the subject of the Ministry of Education is every five-year plan. It entrusts scholars from various disciplines to draw up a consultation report on the five-year plan and puts forward the main problems that should be studied by various disciplines in five years.
Why must I meet the requirements of the Project Guide? Because the topics mentioned in the Project Guide are basic theoretical issues that need to be studied at present, and they are also important issues in reality. Especially the key topics, are the problems that the country urgently needs to study. For example, the issue of "administrative system reform" put forward by our political discipline, because since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China has carried out several administrative institutional reforms, but they are not thorough, because there is no correct theory of administrative system reform in line with the national conditions.
Therefore, the project we declare must not be divorced from the guide, not to say that it must be exactly the same as the guide, but we must also choose the topic around the guide.
2. Theme presentation
Argumentation is very important, and it is the premise to decide whether you can be evaluated. Because there are several or even dozens of applicants for the same topic, which can be evaluated and which can't depends mainly on the argument.
How to demonstrate? Let's look at the main points of the argument:
First, why do you want to study this topic;
2. What problems does your research mainly solve?
Third, what are the difficulties in solving the main problems, how to solve them and how to break through them;
Fourth, the previous achievements.
Therefore, you must be considerate when presenting, so that the judges can clearly know what you want to solve and what the difficulties are, indicating that you can solve it.
3. Members of the research team
The material of the members of the research group is to measure whether the level of the members of the research group can complete the task. In this case, the research team has only one applicant, or its members are not high enough to be deleted.
Why pay so much attention to the members of the research group? Because the current project research should be collective research, it is difficult for one person or two or three people to open and distribute fine products. Only when we cooperate, discuss with each other and give full play to collective wisdom can we produce fine products. For example, we have organized several doctors to study public management theories that are in line with China's national conditions. After early cooperation and discussion, we all feel that we have gained a lot. It is impossible to study alone. We have encountered such a situation and demonstrated it well. Only one or two members of the research group were dismissed.
The members of the research group should be well matched.
First, to study practical problems, in addition to theoretical workers, members should also include staff from some practical departments for easy inspection.
Second, to study basic theoretical topics, members should have professors with high attainments in this field and young scholars with doctorates engaged in theoretical research in this field.
Finally, talk about teachers' subjective concept. We should establish the concept of subject. I often go to some schools in China and meet many teachers to talk to me, mainly about what topics they are doing now. Some are evaluated by the state, the Ministry of Education or provinces and cities, and most of them are self-reliant in their own disciplines. No matter which teacher you ask, especially young teachers, there is a topic and a strong concept of topic.
I hope our liberal arts teachers will strengthen the concept of topics. It is necessary for teachers who have completed projects in the country, Ministry of Education or provinces and cities to take project research as an important responsibility. For teachers who have no subjects, they should work independently, which is very important for future application.
At the same time, we should also realize that teachers' project research is an important way to improve our scientific research ability, and it is also the need to improve teaching quality and guide graduate students. How can teachers guide graduate students well if their subjects have not been studied? Therefore, I sincerely hope that our liberal arts teachers, especially young teachers, will strengthen the concept of topic selection, take more topics, do more topics, conduct research according to topics, and promote the development of teaching and scientific research.
