ارزيابي رساله‌هاي دكتري در رشته‌هاي كشاورزي و منابع طبيعي دانشگاه‌هاي ايران

Evaluation of Ph. D. Thesis of Iranian Universities in Different Agricultural and Natural Branches

يكي از اهداف مهم ايجاد دوره‌هاي دكتري انجام پژوهش‌هاي اصيل در قالب رساله‌هاي دكتري است كه نه تنها به پيشرفت علم كمك كند بلكه در راستاي رفع نيازهاي جامعه باشد. در اين طرح تعداد 257 رساله از رشته‌هاي مختلف كشاورزي و منابع طبيعي از دانشگاه‌هاي سراسر كشور از جنبه علمي و كاربردي بررسي و براي هر رساله مجموعاً 100 امتياز در نظر گرفته شد. امتياز رساله‌ها در 13 شاخه تخصصي گروه علوم كشاورزي فرهنگستان علوم به شرح زير بود: 1- آبياري: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 29/67 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط». 2- اقتصاد، ترويج و آموزش كشاورزي: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 53/83 و با امتياز كيفي «خوب». 3- علوم باغباني: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 85/69 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط». 4- جنگل و محيط زيست: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 9/72 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط». 5- چوب‌شناسي: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 02/82 و با امتياز كيفي «خوب». 6- علوم خاك: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 5/71 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط». 7- علوم دامي: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 41/54 و با امتياز كيفي «ضعيف». 8- زراعت و اصلاح نباتات: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 5/77 و با امتياز كيفي «خوب». 9- شيلات: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 27/75 و با امتياز كيفي «خوب». 10- علوم و صنايع غذايي: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 44/71 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط». 11- گياه‌پزشكي: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 97/74 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط (نزديك به خوب)». 12- ماشين‌هاي كشاورزي: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 28/75 و با امتياز كيفي «خوب». 13- مرتع و آبخيزداري: ميانگين كل امتياز كمي رساله‌ها 72/71 و با امتياز كيفي «متوسط» ميانگين امتياز كمي رساله‌ در شاخه‌هاي مختلف علوم كشاورزي و منابع طبيعي 73 بود كه به لحاظ كيفي «متوسط» ارزيابي شد.

This research project was carried out to evaluate the Ph.D.theses in agricultural and natural resources branches in the universities of the country in the years of 2011 and 2012. Totally 257 theses were evaluated. In this study, six scientific and applied indices were evaluated. One hundred points were given to each thesis; 70 points for scientific and 30 points for applied aspects of the thesis. All theses were qualitatively evaluated on the basis of “Very good”, “Good”, “Average” and “Weak”. The results of this investigation showed that: 1. In Irrigation Branch: 14 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 67.29% and “Average”, respectively. 2. In Agricultural Economics, Extension and Education Branch: 15 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 83.53% and “Good”, respectively. 3. In Horticulture Sciences Branch: 20 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 69.65% and “Average”, respectively. 4. In Forestry and Environment Branch: 16 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 72.9 % and “Average”, respectively. 5. In Wood Sciences Branch: 16 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 82.02 and “Good”, respectively. 6. In Soil Science Branch: 21 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 71.5 % and “Average”, respectively. 7. In Animal Sciences Branch: 17 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 54.41 % and “Weak” , respectively. 8. In Crop Production and Breeding Branch: 24 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 77.5 % and “Good”, respectively. 9. In Fishery Branch: 11 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 75.27 % and “Good”, respectively. 10. In Food Science and Technology Branch: 25 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 71.44 % and “Average”, respectively. 11. In Plant Protection Branch: 39 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 74.97 % and “Good”, respectively. 12. In Farm Machinery Branch: 21 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 75.28% and “Good” , respectively. 13. In Range and Watershed Management Branch, 18 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 71.72% and “Average” , respectively. The mean for all branches of the Agricultural Sciences Group from qualitative point of view, was evaluated as “Average”. Some points on problems are pointed out and some suggestions are made.
