What Does Study Mean:A Research on Influencing Factors and Paths of the Socialization of Doctoral Students'Academic Profession
Only by exploring what study means to doctoral students can we clarify what education means.To understand the influencing factors and driving mechanisms of doctoral students'socialization of academic professions will facilitate transition of more doctoral students from the role of a student to that of a qualified scholar.Based on the model of doctoral students'socialization of academic profession,this study employs multiple linear regression model and structural equation model to empirically examine the data from the survey on 1,414 academic doctoral students in China.The research findings reveal that three dimensions of support from supervisors,peers,and institutions have significantly positive influence on the academic socialization process of doctoral students.According to the mediation analysis,the academic innovation capacity and the career planning awareness partially mediate the relationship between the three-dimensional support and the academic socialization of doctoral students.The intermediation serves as an important way to foster the aspiration of doctoral students to pursue an academic career.To better facilitate the doctoral students'socialization of academic profession,this study puts forward the following suggestions:promote supervisors'multi-level support to doctoral students and further boost the consciousness of moral cultivation through the supervisors'evaluation system reform;create a good academic and cultural atmosphere on campus based on the optimization of the school support service system,and build a multi-party collaborative education mechanism to constantly improve doctoral students'academic innovation ability and career planning awareness.
