應用ZMET建構研究生對論文題目選定之共識地圖

論文題目須抓住整篇論文的精髓，傳遞論文內容的正確訊息。對研究生而言，確定研究主題是一件很苦惱的事，甚至為此事造成某種程度的不安與焦慮。本研究以ZMET(Zaltman Metaphor ElicitationTechnique，隱喻抽取技術)探討某國立大學在職進修研究所碩士班一年級生，在對其論文題目選定的深層認知與想法，導引出個別的心智地圖，並歸納結合為共識地圖。研究結果顯示：因「教學品質良莠不齊」、「資訊不平衡」與「缺乏選擇性」而造成「學習績效差」；但仍抱持著「渴望感」與「期待感」，請老師們「合宜指導」，如此對論文題目選定有「踏實感」。同時值得玩味的是，參與者對論文題目選定之「方向感」是來自於(1)「同儕討論」與「正向學習」、(2)「放鬆」、或(3)「轉換心情」與「另覓能量」等方式獲得。此結果可提供校方系上對在職進修研究生所需之教學與輔導方面的參考，並提供更符合研究生們真正與迫切的教學與輔導的需求，為高等教育注入一些新的活力。

Thesis topics must grasp the essence of the whole thesis, dissertation content to pass the correct message. The key has a decisive quality research topics selected and their virtue or vice. For graduate students, identify research topics is a very distressing thing, and even cause some degree of unease and anxiety for that matter. In this study, ZMET (Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique) to explore the cultural and creative design of a National University Institute Master Program first grader, in their thesis topic selected deep knowledge and ideas, guide the individual's mental map, and induction combination of consensus map, try to dig out the students who selected their thesis topic motive, needs and ultimate value. The results showed that participants felt that the Institute: because ＂teaching quality varies greatly,＂＂information imbalance＂ and ＂lack of selectivity＂ caused by ＂poor learning performance＂; but still hold a ＂desire for sense＂ and ＂sense of anticipation ＂asked the teacher who＂ appropriate guidance ＂, so to have the selected paper entitled＂ practical sense. ＂It is also worth pondering is that the participants selected for the paper entitled ＂sense of direction＂ is derived from (1) the ＂peer discussion＂ and ＂positive learning＂ (2) ＂relax,＂ or (3) ＂Conversion mood＂ and ＂finding alternative energy＂, etc. manner. This result is in addition to graduate students to reflect back, it can also provide a reference for the Department of Postgraduate Teaching and counseling needed, it is desirable in graduate school thesis topic is selected, to fully grasp the idea of their potential, and to provide a more real graduate students and needs urgent teaching and counseling for higher education to inject some vitality..
