Abstract

The undergraduate thesis is an important part of undergraduate cultivation, which can systematically examine students’ ability of using the knowledge acquired in undergraduate period. In this study, we investigated the change pattern of the research fields of undergraduate thesis for Pratacultural Science majors at Lanzhou University by using the moving average and the linear regression equation methods, and also compared the participation proportion of Pratacultural Science undergraduates in scientific research items and number of publishing papers in main Chinese universities. The results showed that: 1) In the main topics of undergraduate thesis were a largely increasing, such as grassland ecology, stress physiology, and grassland protection, accounting for 31.4%, 16.7% and 15.0%, espectively, but forage germplasm resources and breeding was a quickly decreasing, accouniting for 17.0%. 2) Universities offering Pratacultural Science in China have attached great importance to undergraduate scientific training and undergraduate thesis quality, but a few number of papers were published by undergraduate students. In order to improve the quality of undergraduate thesis, we suggest that the students should positively participate in scientific innovation training, and higher education institutions should strengthen the papers writing in core courses for Prataculatural Science majors, and the teachers and students should pay more attentions to the topics selection, experiment and writing time of thesis, and the teacher’s advice effect and the thesis evaluation and examination.
