ABSTRACT

In recent years, the uneven quality of master's degree has attracted wide attention from all walks of life, and the postgraduate supervisor, as the primary responsible person of master's degree in education, has professional duties. The supervisors not only teach the students' professional knowledge and cultivate their talents, tastes and styles, but also directly influence the character cultivation and quality formation of graduate students. However, the problem of insufficient mentoring ability exists in postgraduate education today, and with the increasing number of postgraduates, the mentoring resources are obviously insufficient to ensure the quality of postgraduate education. In this paper, we study the current situation of supervisory ability of master's students in higher education and analyze the problems and causes of supervisory ability of master's students.
