An Empirical Study on the Analysis of Academic Performance of Doctoral Students
By presenting the empirical data on the influencing factors of the differentiation of doctoral stu-dents'academic performance,this study examines the possible paths to improve the quality of doctoral educa-tion from three dimensions:individual,supervisor and institution.It is found that doctoral students who are more likely to receive national scholarship are those with younger age,no work experience before entering the doctor-al program,internal motivation,supervisors with academic title,high frequency of guidance,and good scientific research training;visiting abroad during doctoral study significantly increases the probability of receiving nation-al scholarship and postponing graduation;the probability of successful graduation is significantly higher for doc-toral students in humanities and social sciences,direct-entry PhD students,students with high academic involve-ment,and students driven by external motivation;students who are more likely to face academic difficulties are female,science and engineering students,students in master-doctorate programs,students visiting abroad during doctoral study,students with low academic involvement,students driven by external motivation,and students in universities with high publication requirements.To improve the academic performance of doctoral students,it is necessary to focus on stimulating the internal academic motivation of students,providing effective supervisor guidance,adequate university financial support,relaxing publishing environment,solid scientific research train-ing and diverse personalized curriculum teaching.
