地方高校硕士研究生逻辑思维能力培育的影响因素研究

An Empirical Analysis of Logical Thinking Skills among Master’s Degree Students in Local Universities Based on Questionnaire Surveys

摘要: 逻辑思维能力的培养是实现研究生培养目标的关键环节。实证分析发现，环境支持与自主探索对逻辑思维能力提升有显著的正向促进作用，而环境支持的作用更显著。进一步异质性分析表明：① 与没有系统学习逻辑学知识的同学相比，系统学习逻辑学知识的同学能基于环境支持和自主探索而获得更显著的逻辑思维能力提升；② 综合因素影响逻辑思维能力提升方面没有显著的性别差异，男同学在通过环境支持和自主探索提升逻辑思维能力方面有更好的表现；③ 理工科学生与人文社会科学学生在综合因素影响和环境支持提升逻辑思维能力方面没有显著差异，在自主探索提升逻辑思维能力方面，人文社会科学研究生要好于理工科学生。论文据此强调了将逻辑学课程纳入硕士研究生培养方案核心课程板块的必要性，在逻辑思维能力训练方面充分运用“推理–应用–反思”等教学模式，提升研究生逻辑思维能力。

Abstract: The cultivation of logical thinking skills is a key link in achieving the training objectives for graduate students. The empirical analysis in this paper finds that environmental support and independent exploration have significant positive effects on enhancing logical thinking skills, with the role of environmental support being more pronounced. Further heterogeneity analysis reveals that: 1) Compared to students who have not systematically studied logic, those who have systematically studied logic can achieve more significant improvement in logical thinking skills based on environmental support and independent exploration; 2) Male students outperform female students in improving logical thinking skills through independent exploration, while female students surpass male students in doing so through environmental support; 3) There is no significant difference between students in STEM fields and those in humanities and social sciences regarding the improvement of logical thinking skills through environmental support; however, in terms of improvement through independent exploration, humanities and social sciences students outperform STEM students. Based on these findings, the paper emphasizes the necessity of incorporating logic courses into the core curriculum of master’s degree programs. It also advocates for the full utilization of teaching models such as “reasoning-application-reflection” in logical thinking skill training to enhance the logical thinking abilities of graduate students.
