Should I conduct nanny scientific research training for graduate students?

Wen | Yu Liping (Professor of Zhejiang University of Technology)

The nanny -type scientific research training should be abandoned according to the truth. At least all the mentors do not want to conduct nanny -style scientific research training on students, but this problem needs to be paid attention to. As a mentor, I am afraid that you can't.

What is a nanny -type scientific research?

1. Graduate students will not choose topics, and some even know nothing. Of course, for graduate students, it is too high to request to choose the topic. This requirement is too high, and generally doctors are not enough.

2. No literature retrieval, you need to dial appropriately. Some topics cannot be found according to keywords, such as innovation speed, and keywords such as time constraints and rapid innovation.

3. The foundation of data collection and finishing is not good. For example, the PDF will not be converted to word, I do n’t know how to clean the data, I do n’t know how to make up for a small amount of missing data. I do n’t find the potential data value capacity. The online data will not be pasted first to the notebook, and then imported to Excel.

4. There is no accounting method, or only know it, and do not know why. I do n’t know the key to technology, such as selection of tool variables, endogenous problems, processing of common linear issues, etc., you need to intervene appropriately.

5. Passion for writing. At the beginning, it was very collapsed. Some papers really needed to modify hundreds of places, and they could not be changed at all, so they could only be guided orally. After a few rounds, they could be changed in a few rounds.

Causes of nanny -type scientific research phenomena

1. Lack of scientific research training from an early age, used to "subjects", composition is also mostly forms of narrative, prose and other forms. At university, the training of undergraduate papers is far from enough. If the master's degree is not well trained, then the basic skills are still not closed at the doctoral stage. How to correct it? I am afraid that academic papers should be grabbed from elementary school.

2. Learning is insufficient, learning with a mixed diploma attitude. There is no solution for this matter.

Nanny -type scientific research training is actually a good way of training

What is the proportion of master's degree in nanny -type scientific research training? I want to be more objective. For the master's degree, the country is not less than 50%, and it may actually be 70%. So this problem is an important issue, and puts higher requirements for the mentor.

As long as you are willing to learn, nanny-type scientific research training is actually a re-class method. Through the training of 3-4 papers, students' writing level and scientific research ability are basically passed. If you continue to engage in scientific research, you will slowly summarize and improve, and gradually go to the right scientific research.

Don't worry about the creativity of nanny -type scientific research students, they are just insufficient foundations, and they do not pay enough attention at the graduate stage, and do not pay attention to cultivation. Once this link passes, they can also become first -class researchers.

Over the years, I have guided students' experience. Through this method, generally 1-2 years of time students will pass the level, and then they will focus on standardized research. The follow-up development is good.
