Building an excellent supervisor-student community is an important way to improve the quality of postgraduate education.The supervisor-student team of Zhejiang University known for its outstanding performance in five aspects is a representative of excellent supervisor-student communities.Based on the interviews with the supervisors and postgraduates of the team,this paper summarizes five core factors for the growth of the team:emotional value,academic research,practice and production activities,team itself,and guarantee incentives.Among the factors,team itself is the subject factor for the community to be excellent,emotional value and guarantee incentives are environmental factors,and academic research and practice and production activities are behavioral factors.The team itself achieves the construction of an excellent supervisor-student community through two kinds of performances:academic research,and practice and production activities,while emotional value and guarantee incentives regulate the relationship between the two.The authors suggests that,to fulfill the construction of an excellent supervisor-student community,we should strengthen the training and appraisal system for supervisors,improve the diverse student selection mechanism,pay attention to the culture construction of the supervisor-student community,focus on improving the functions of resource incentives and guarantees,emphasize a distinctive education mode,and put industry,academia,and research into an integrated training mechanism.
