A model for conducting and assessing interdisciplinary undergraduate dissertations

This paper presents an effort to create a unified model for conducting and assessing undergraduate dissertations, shared by all disciplines involved in computer game development at a Swedish university. Computer game development includes technology-oriented disciplines as well as disciplines with aesthetical traditions. The challenge has been to create a unified process and assessment procedure while maintaining the individual disciplines’ academic standards. The unification has been achieved through the development of the Interdisciplinary Dissertation Model – a shared model where the assessment is focused on fundamental academic principles, and there is a clear separation between summative and formative assessment and well-defined interaction loops between examiners, supervisors and students. Examiners from all involved disciplines have regular meetings focusing on creating an interdisciplinary view on the summative assessment of undergraduate dissertations. The model developed has been successful in that it allows for a unified process for disciplines from fundamentally different academic traditions. The quality of the examined dissertations has been evaluated in a national evaluation. The result shows that all participating disciplines meet the requirements from their respective communities. This shows that the proposed model successfully unifies disciplines without sacrificing the quality in any discipline.     

专题式教学法--高校"思政课"教学之应然选择

专题式教学法,立足教材又高于教材,可以有效克服教材的逻辑性不足、内容相对滞后等先天不足。同时,由任课教师掌握教学内容的安排权,可以灵活地安排教学计划,充分地利用诸多教学手段,以及实践新的教学理念,从而形成高校的发展和教师个人的发展的“双赢”局面。

我国构造地质学专业研究生培养的问题讨论——“第三届构造地质与地球动力学学术研讨会”研究生论文分析

构造地质学专业是地质学中对野外实践能力要求最强的专业之一。对于硕士或博士研究生,学校应更多地注重学生野外构造解析、构造填图能力的培养,为日后从事构造地质学研究打好坚实的基础。本文通过对"第三届构造地质与地球动力学学术研讨会"上参会研究生会议交流论文内容分析,对我国目前构造地质学专业研究生培养的一些问题进行了讨论。     

民族音乐学方向硕士论文的社会调查方法审视

在604篇使用了社会调查方法的我国民族音乐学方向的硕士学位论文样本中,其社会调查主要以描述性研究、中国传统音乐研究、定性研究为主,定向调查为主要的调查形式。与此同时,样本论文也存在缺乏解释性研究和混合研究、不重视选题的可行性与合适性、没有采用最佳工作方式进行田野调查、双视角研究法没有得到广泛使用以及田野报告的表述形式极少使用双窗口阐释法等问题。     

Students’ perspectives on the processes of supervision and assessment of undergraduate dissertations / Perspectiva del alumnado de los procesos de tutorización y evaluación de los trabajos de fin de grado

Abstract

The introduction of the European Higher Education Area means that undergraduate dissertations (UD) are now compulsory, which represents an important change for the Spanish university system due to the important consequences this will have on academic functioning. This study provides key information on the processes of supervising and assessing UDs, from the perspective of students, as well as consequent proposals to improve them. The results obtained indicate that initiatives need to be put in place, at least in the participating institutions where the study has been developed, focused on the improvement of the time periods, means and resources needed to develop the UD, the introduction of more adequate criteria than those currently used for assessment, better training for the tutors involved, more appropriate and precise prior information for students in relation to the UD, and more preparation for students to enable them to carry out the UD.     

研究生学位论文质量保障体系浅析

由于研究生自身素质参差不齐、导师指导不力、相关教育部门工作不到位,研究生学位论文在选题、学术行为、理论基础以及写作规范等方面存在不少问题。因此,亟需通过国家相关部门、学位授予点、高等学校三者协同合作,以及研究生自身的努力等措施,建立研究生学位论文全面质量保障体系,从而提高研究生学位论文质量。
