Abstract:

It is of great significance to strengthen the training of postgraduates in scientific research activities and to support high-level postgraduate education with high-level scientific research. The survey shows that it is more common for postgraduates in local universities to participate in scientific research activities, but there is still room for improvement in the overall participation and the form of activities; the attitude towards scientific research is relatively positive, but there are gaps in research motivation and research investment time; the research performance is generally good, but there are few opportunities and insufficient ability to participate in high-level research activities; the enthusiasm for scientific research is affected by both subjective and objective factors, and scientific research ability and scientific research conditions are the top factors; the overall satisfaction evaluation of supervisors is higher than the satisfaction evaluation of scientific research environment; and some indicators of participation in scientific research activities show differences in gender, grade, degree type, and subject category. Local universities should strengthen the system design of scientific research activities to further improve students’ participation in scientific research; should coordinate subjective and objective influencing factors, and focus on activating students’ intrinsic motivation to participate in scientific research; should strengthen the support of tutors and guarantee of scientific research conditions, and continuously improve students’ high-level scientific research ability; should pay attention to the differences in students’ scientific research activities, and explore characteristic research activities.
