Abstract

As a chief pillar of higher education and technological innovation, universities have been enhancing national innovative capacity and promoting the social and economic development of the nation. Graduate education is an important channel of nurturing high-level talents, of which the cultivation of graduate students' practical ability is at the core. However, there are still some problems existing in the social practice appraisal mechanism for graduate students in most Chinese universities, such as the limited assessment scope, overgeneralized standards, inefficient communication during the social practice process and imperfect incentive mechanism. These deficiencies have made negative impacts on the effectiveness of the assessment of graduate students’ practical ability, the quality of graduate students’ practice, and the enthusiasm of graduate students involving in social practice. In order to promote the present social practice appraisal mechanism for graduate students, this paper attempts to construct a new graduate student appraisal system through the use of OKR (Objectives and Key Results) management approach and a more comprehensive incentive mechanism, in the hope of contributing to the improvement of the whole graduate student social practice evaluation mechanism.

Highlights

  • China has presented remarkable achievements in building socialism with Chinese characteristics, which embarks on a new journey to build a great modern socialist country

  • Graduate education is an important channel of nurturing high-level talents, of which the cultivation of graduate students' practical ability is at the core

  • It is found through the analysis that problems in the social practice assessment mechanism of this school are: 1) the assessment scope of social practice is limited to teaching practice; 2) the grading criteria lacks detailed evaluative indicators; 3) effective communication between supervisors and graduate students is neglected in the process of social practice; 4) and the incentive mechanism is imperfect

Summary

Introduction

China has presented remarkable achievements in building socialism with Chinese characteristics, which embarks on a new journey to build a great modern socialist country. Taking the social practice mechanism of the School of English for International Business in Guangdong University of Foreign Studies as an example, this paper attempts to build a graduate social practice appraisal mechanism based on OKR management strategies that can quantify the practice process and practice results, as well as the corresponding incentive mechanism. It aims to make up for the shortcomings of the previous evaluation mechanism, correctly guide and effectively encourage the graduate students to participate in research training and social practice, so as to better cultivate the graduate students’ scientific research ability and practical ability to adapt to the social development
