 The Ultimate Version

 

Ⅰ. On the morning of November 24, 2020, The Guidance Meeting on Applying for National Social Science Fund by Faculty of Education of Shenzhen University was successfully held in the National Conference Hall. Professor Chen Li (Vice Dean of Faculty of Education of Shenzhen University) and Director Ye Chen (Director of Academic Affairs Office) presided over the conferences in Hall A and Hall B respectively. Professor Dehua Liu of Hunan Normal University, Professor Jicun Xu of Shandong Normal University, Professor Gangping Wu of East China Normal University, Professor Yun Yao of Beijing Normal University, Professor Zhijun Hao of National institute of Education Sciences, Professor Xuexin He of Tianjin Normal University and Professor Jiajun Zhang of Southwest University were invited to attend the meeting.

 

 

The four professors in the Hall A gave detailed guidance on the issues that need to be paid attention when applying for national projects, taking the proposed declaration forms of seven teachers of our faculty as examples. The main points are:

First, we need to pay heed to the selection of topics and the expression of headlines. Professor Yun Yao holds the opinion that there are three main sources for the topic selection of the National Social Science Fund. One of the sources is major national events; other is regional advantages, which means combining the characteristics of regional development when developing a topic will significantly enhance application advantages, but we need to be aware that the provincial internal problems should not be enlarged to the national level; and the third is demographic characteristics. For example, Shenzhen is an immigrant city, and the characteristics of immigration should be properly combined in the research process. In terms of the expression of the headline, Professor Gangping Wu holds the opinion that core concepts in the headline should be controlled within an appropriate number and should be realistic.

Second, we need to consider the characteristics of the subject when choosing the subject orientation. Let’s take the program of The Historical Contributions of Child Care and Education in Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region as an example. Professor Gangping Wu thinks that although this subject belongs to an interdisciplinary research, history is more concerned with historical methods than the history of education does and has higher requirements for research methods, and therefore, it is more appropriate to apply for pedagogy. Professor Yun Yao believes that the starting point of historical research and educational research is different from each other, suggesting that pedagogy focuses on solving educational problems while history pays more attention on tracing historical facts.

Third, we need to act according to our capability in research. Professor Jicun Xu holds the opinion that the approval of the application of the project not only pays heed to the written expression of the declaration form, but also exams the researcher’s ability to manage the project. Therefore, the expected results should be submitted according to their abilities.

 Fourth, research should give priority to serving locals. Professor Dehua Liu believes that the education and teaching of teachers at Shenzhen University must first serve Shenzhen and deliver talents to Shenzhen. Therefore, it is necessary to consciously focuses on the research issues concerning Shenzhen and to bring research achievements to the city.

 

The seven teachers of our faculty in the Hall B respectively reported on the selection of topics for the application and responding writing ideas. The three professors first put forward the general matters which should be paid attention to in the national project application, and then gave detailed guidance to the seven teachers in their selected topics. Professor Jiajun Zhang puts forward seven key points for the declaration, including novel headlines, specified questions, clear thoughts, rigorous demonstration, appropriate methods, solid foundation and fruitful achievements. Professor Xuexin He guided each teacher’s headline one by one to generate development momentum and put forward suggestions for revisions of some teachers’ reviews and research methods. Professor Zhijun Hao further emphasized the writing skills of declaration form, such as the number of core concepts in the headline should be appropriate, the research content should be typical, the diagrams in the report should be clear, and so forth.

 

Additionally, the professors also gave detailed instructions on many aspects such as the writing skills, research methods and literature reviews of the declaration form. Some teachers raised questions about application procedures and the number of words in the report, and the professors replied all the questions carefully.

Finally, Professor Chen Li presented a summary of the suggestions of the four professors in terms of the selection and expression of topics, research framework design, innovation points, etc., expressed an earnest hope for that the teachers attending the meeting can reach a higher position and have broader horizons, and wished all the teachers a smooth subject declaration process. Professor Ye Chen once again expressed his sincere gratitude to the distinguished professors on behalf of the teachers and students attending to the meeting and invited them to visit the Faculty of Education of Shenzhen University in the future for communications and exchanges. The conference achieved a complete success.
