Once you go to graduate school, you will enter another stage, not only enjoying it completely, but also accepting all kinds of interesting knowledge and entering the stage of manufacturing knowledge, which means that your thesis should be innovative. From accepting knowledge to creating knowledge is the biggest feature of being a graduate student. Not only that, but also realize that you are no longer a container, waiting for the teacher to pour things into the teacup, but you should start to develop step by step and develop yourself. As a graduate student, I no longer accept all kinds of novel courses, but pay attention to the problem-oriented arrangement, that is, in the master's or doctoral stage, all my energy, all my courses and books should have a focus of attention, rather than being aimless like a university. When you are a college student, you should try your best to create yourself and accept anything, but when you are a master student, you have an ultimate goal, that is to finish your thesis, which is the confluence of all your personal martial arts, so you must have a problem-oriented learning at this time.
2. Try interdisciplinary research and take the initiative to learn.
Asking an important question and crossing an important field will determine your future success or failure. Choosing the right field and the right question is the key to success, and you must explore the infinite world of knowledge with your own questions, because you are no longer as overbearing as you were in college. Therefore, during this period, we must choose a topic that we are interested in and concerned about as the starting point to explore this knowledge and create an organic cycle. Because you are naturally curious about this question, your attitude is completely different from that of college students. You gradually change from a passive receiver to an active explorer and learn to swim in this academic field.
Let me give you an example. Mr Li Yuanzhe, President of Academia Sinica, won the Nobel Prize. I have written several articles in the Weekly of Academia Sinica. In his lecture series, you may see that he mentioned his story many times. He went to Berkeley University in the United States because he read a textbook called Professor Ma Heng. After he went, he found that the teacher only gave him a check and told him that you should spend as much money as possible, but never taught him anything. But the professor next door, the teacher teaches a lot, and the students follow the teacher every day. He once complained to the teacher, "Then why don't you teach me something?" "The teacher said," If I know the result, what do I want you to study here? I just don't know, so I want us to explore a problem, an unknown field together. He said that in fact, both teaching methods are useful, but he himself has made great progress from this teacher who never teaches him anything and always asks him if he has found anything new. Therefore, these two aspects have their own profound truth. There is no such thing as good or bad. The best way is to combine these two ways. Why should I tell this story? It is emphasized that at this stage, learning is a kind of "self-help", and learning "self-help" is under the guidance of teachers, not just listening as in college. Learning at this stage should be based on curiosity and interest in research issues, and explore this field with a warm heart.
However, another important stage for graduate students is to learn how to learn, not just to learn, but to learn how to learn. Instead of buying a beautiful dress, learn to pick up the needle, learn to embroider a beautiful dress, and slowly learn to set the goal on a standard, and this standard is that you will finish your master's thesis in the future. If you go to a first-class university in the west, you will think that my thesis may be compared with those who have done the same topic all over the world. I think even in China, you should feel this way. Your standards should not only be placed on a few people next to you, but on ordinary people in the field. Your article must be innovative in order to meet the standards, meet the Latin doctoral certificate we just mentioned above, and make contributions and innovations.
Secondly, the postgraduate entrance examination can be divided into three parts: first, theoretical study; second, mastering professional basic knowledge and expanding knowledge; third, learning to do research. Theoretical study includes two aspects: one is to study Marxist theory. Marxism is the basic guiding ideology of our study, research and work. We should attach importance to the theoretical study class, not as a burden, nor as a way to get credits, but to really learn from each other and gain something. Second, learn the theory of a certain discipline and understand some related theories and methods at home and abroad. Mastering professional basic knowledge should be more important in mastering professional basic knowledge and expanding knowledge. It is also very important to expand the scope of knowledge, one is to expand the scope of knowledge in this discipline, and the other is to expand the scope of knowledge in related disciplines. Those who advocate cultivating students' awareness of interdisciplinary research must have interdisciplinary knowledge. So if conditions permit, it is very beneficial to listen to other subjects. The third aspect is to learn to do research. Graduate students can't study like college students, and they can't take notes mainly by attending lectures. If the focus of learning is to attend classes, this kind of learning is somewhat similar to that of college students. I think graduate students should communicate with teachers more, not just listen to them, but discuss with them more, and dare to speak their own learning experience on their own initiative. Specific requirements: 1) Establish a reasonable knowledge structure: dabble in the basic knowledge of the subject as widely as possible, and understand all aspects, past and present of the research field as deeply as possible. 2) Master the methods and skills of independent research: learn as many research methods as possible and master the research process and steps skillfully. 3) Learn to write a paper: Writing a paper is not only to train expression ability, but also to train thinking logic. But it is an effective structure to organize ideas and communicate with people, which can not be ignored. I have read some books on writing in turn, and I think university of international business and economics's academic papers are quite good.
If you can follow these three requirements, it doesn't matter whether you do this major after graduation, because your research quality has been established, and you can do whatever you want.
Thirdly, the requirements for graduate students in this major are (1) the combination of humanities and technology (2) the combination of theory and practice (3) the combination of profound knowledge and independent thinking (4) the combination of ideal spirit and pragmatic attitude.
Fourth, personal management includes personal time management (PTM), personal knowledge management (PKM), personal psychological management (PPM), personal time management (PTM) 1, goals and pre-planned goals. 2. Action is the key to success. 3. Analytical work. List things one by one. Everything you encounter will change your running direction. 5. Set the priority. Step 6 focus. 7. Time limits and rewards. Give yourself a little reward for doing one thing. Force yourself to set a deadline. 8. Working time record. Record the time allocation and usage. 9. Pay attention to procrastination. Important things and urgent things. Say to yourself, "Do it at once! Do it now! Do it right away! " 10, meeting. The meeting has goals; B has an agenda; C starts on time and ends on time. 1 1, key achievement areas. What does your mentor or boss expect you to accomplish? 12, batch operation. The same thing, accumulate together, do together. 13, neat. Clean up the working environment, only the information you have to deal with now is in front of you. 14, continuous working hours. 60 minutes, 90 minutes. You can work for a few hours around 5 am, and you can do some creative work, such as writing a report. 15, using spare time. As long as you spend the price, you will always get something. Extra scattered time, such as time on the way to dinner. 16, punctuality. 17, simplifying the work. A, do it for a long time; B, do it faster; C, do important things; D, do what you are good at; E, make fewer mistakes; F, give play to the power of teamwork. Learn to say no. Learn to refuse and learn to accept. The most important thing for us is our study! ! ! Don't give up, don't give up. ) 19, balance. What really matters: a healthy body, a young mind and good interpersonal relationships. The essence of personal knowledge management (PKM) is to help individuals improve their work efficiency, integrate their own information resources and improve their competitiveness. Through personal knowledge management, all kinds of materials and readily available information owned by individuals can be transformed into more valuable knowledge, which will ultimately benefit their work and life. From a personal point of view, the knowledge resources that need to be managed are nothing more than the following: interpersonal resources (such as the address book of contacts, everyone's characteristics and specialties, etc. Communication management (letters, emails, faxes, etc.). Personal time management tools (business reminders, to-do items, personal memos) Network resource management (website management and connection) File management Personal psychological management (PPM) Personally, personal psychological management is a constant self-mentality. Be content with what you have, do what you can, and combine scientific research with entertainment. Everything has its reason, don't complain often. Don't compare two people casually, just look at what he got, not what he lost. What's the point? 4. Face the dilemma correctly and look at the problem with dialectical eyes.
5. How to determine the research field that suits you? (Short Story) There is a story about lawn paving that can be used to answer this question. It is difficult to protect the lawn, because the roads on the lawn are often not built according to people's convenience. Once a designer undertook a project, and after delivery, all the lawns around the building were paved. No one can step on the road. After a few months, several roads appeared on the lawn: thick and thin, and then he built roads on this basis, and the result can be imagined. At the beginning, you don't have a clear goal, just open all your tentacles, see, read and feel, and you will unconsciously love to see something, which is determined by your interest and your knowledge structure. After a long time, there will be several roads, which can also lead to the goal you want to pursue. Learn to listen to your heart and let it tell you how to go, so that you won't be led by other people's values and popular hotspots.
Six, how to enter a research field? The simplest and most effective way to enter a field is to find the earliest works or textbooks in this field, such as collaborative learning, which can be seen in Robert E. Slaven's Collaborative Learning. When you understand the connotation of the basic concepts in this field and the relationship between them, and then read the papers in this field, you can have a good grasp because you know what you are doing. This kind of work must be done first, and you can't search papers online. Otherwise, you will feel that after reading 20 articles, your understanding of this field has not yet formed, and these concepts are contradictory. Fortunately, some people are afraid of being guided by prejudice and don't know it yet. This is the most terrible thing.
Seven, how to choose research topics for students who are now studying in Grade One, we might as well do more extensive reading while studying basic courses:
1。 Browse the websites of relevant associations to see the topics of recent academic conferences.
2。 Look through the relevant domestic periodicals and see what everyone has been busy with in recent years. According to your own knowledge structure, you will naturally tend to look at the topics you are interested in. After comparison, you may form the title of your thesis.
Eight, how to write a master's thesis:
1. Learn to write headlines
Good titles should be concise and to the point, and the style of full-text titles should be consistent, which is also an opportunity to train generalization ability.
2. Theoretical framework of the thesis.
There must be a theoretical framework when expounding the arguments of the thesis, especially the master's thesis, not just a list of 1234. The theoretical level of the thesis is often highlighted from here, and the difference between theory and viewpoint lies in its systematicness. The theoretical framework is like an outline. If you look at the outline, the paper becomes a whole, otherwise you will be suspected of slapping your head, and others will question the coverage and value of the conclusion.
