Abstract:

In order to understand the scientific research literacy(SRL) of undergraduates in veterinary medicine major and explore effective ways to further cultivate their SRL,a questionnaire was designed to investigate the SRL of 5 senior undergraduate classes in 3 categories of 2019 veterinary medicine major in Jilin Agricultural University.SPSS 23 software was used to carry out descriptive analysis,significant difference analysis and correlation analysis on the effective data obtained from the survey questionnaire.It was found that the students of veterinary medicine major had satisfactory scientific research consciousness.There were statistically significant differences in the postgraduate study plan,the enthusiasm of applying for scientific research projects,the understanding of the types of academic journals,and the writing of papers between the innovative class and the experimental class(P<0.05).There is no correlation between the post graduate study plan and the time of determining the professional direction and the scientific research spirit,the scientific research spirit is strongly correlated with the scientific research ability.It is suggested that while maintaining undergraduate research experience for some students,students' scientific research consciousness and scientific research spirit should be cultivated in class,and scientific research ability should be cultivated in extracurricular combination with tutorial system and graduation thesis,so as to lay a foundation for cultivating high-quality compound applied veterinary practitioners.
