The Influence of the Guidance from Supervisor Teams on Postgraduate Education Quality——Based on Empirical Evidence from a Pilot Program in a Double First-class University
Taking a double first-class university as an example,this paper empirically tests the influence of team guidance mode on the quality of postgraduate education from two perspectives:employment rate and academic performance.Through the study,this paper finds that,after putting aside the influence of personal factors of students and supervisors,the postgraduates under team guidance mode have higher employment rate,better employment positions,and higher probability of publishing more academic papers.The positive influence is more pronounced with interdisciplinary and appropriately sized supervisor teams,which is especially beneficial to less-experienced supervisors and academically oriented master's students.The authors believe that this research is helpful to revealing the role,influence mechanism,and moderating factors of the teams of supervisors in postgraduate education,and can serve as a reference for the construction of supervisor teams and the reform of postgraduate education modes in Chinese universities.
