different types of investigation reports have different specific contents. But the basic writing is the same.
The writing method of investigation report: First, be familiar with the structural characteristics of investigation report; Second, we must grasp the writing procedure of the investigation report.
(I) Structure of the investigation report
Generally speaking, the contents of the investigation report generally include: title, introduction, general introduction, data statistics, rational analysis, summary and conclusion or countermeasures, suggestions, and attached materials. The resulting investigation report structure includes title, introduction, text, ending and signature. 1. Title
There are two kinds of titles of investigation reports: single title and double title. The so-called single title is a title. Among them, there are two kinds of official title and article title. The title of the official document is "the genre of the subject", such as "Investigation Report on Chinese Teaching in Rural Middle Schools in Zhejiang Province". Article titles, such as "School-run Enterprises in XX City"; The second is to indicate the title of the author's views obtained through investigation, such as "Adjusting Education Policy and Increasing Education Investment". The so-called double title means two titles, namely a topic and a subtitle. For example, in order to benefit future generations-investigation report on closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation in XX county.
2. Introduction
Introduction is also called introduction. It is the preface of the investigation report, which concisely introduces the situation of the investigation, or puts forward the introduction of the full text to pave the way for the writing of the text. Common leads are: ① Brief leads. Briefly introduce the subject, object, time, place, method and process of the investigation; ② General introduction. Give a general description of the contents of the investigation report (including topics, objects, investigation contents, investigation results and analysis conclusions, etc.); ③ Explanatory lead. That is, the origin of the subject is briefly introduced and explained.
3. Text
The text is the main body of the investigation report. It describes the facts and related materials obtained from the investigation, discusses the analysis and synthesis made, and explains the results and conclusions of the investigation and study. The structure of the text has different frames. ① Frames for arranging materials according to logical relations are: vertical structure, horizontal structure and vertical and horizontal structure. Of these three structures, the vertical and horizontal structure is often adopted by people. (2) According to the level of content expression, the framework consists of "situation-results-problems-suggestions" structure, which is mostly used to reflect the basic situation of investigation reports; The structure of "results-specific practices-experience" is mostly used for investigation reports that introduce experience; The structure of "problem-reason-opinion or suggestion" is mostly used for investigation reports that expose problems; The structure of "event process-event nature conclusion-handling opinions" is mostly used for investigation reports that reveal the right and wrong of cases.
4. At the end
The content at the end is mostly the investigator's opinions and suggestions on the problem, which is the inevitable result of analyzing and solving the problem. The ending methods of the investigation report mainly include supplementary, deepening, suggesting and inspiring. 5. signature
the signature of the investigation report should indicate the name of the investigator's unit and individual, as well as the time of completion. If the investigator is indicated under the title, it can be omitted when signing.
(II) Writing procedure of social practice investigation report
Generally speaking, the writing of social practice investigation report has to go through the following five procedures:
1. Determining the theme
The theme is the soul of the investigation report and is of decisive significance to the success or failure of the investigation report writing. Therefore, it should be noted that:
the theme of the report should be consistent with the theme of the survey;
according to the results of investigation and analysis, the theme should be redefined;
The theme should be small and focused; Coordinate with the title, and avoid the wrong title.
2. Selection of materials
The systematic and complete "survey data" obtained through statistical analysis and theoretical analysis still need to be carefully selected when organizing the survey report, and it is impossible and unnecessary to write all the reports, so we should pay attention to the selection. How to choose materials? ① Select materials related to the theme, and remove irrelevant, irrelevant, secondary and non-essential materials to make the theme concentrated, distinct and prominent; (2) Pay attention to the combination of material points and surfaces. Materials should not only support a certain viewpoint in the report, but also support each other to form an "atmosphere" on the surface; 3. Among the existing useful materials, we should compare, identify and select the best materials to support the author's opinion, so that each material can be treated as one.
3. Layout and outline
This is a key link in the conception of the investigation report. Layout refers to the form of the investigation report, which is reflected in the outline and is the "skeleton" of the article. The process of drawing up the outline is actually the process of further classifying and structuring the investigation materials. The principle of the framework is: "around the theme, step by step, interlocking." Outline or skeleton is characterized by its inherent logic, which requires a clear outline and distinct levels.
There are two kinds of survey report outlines. One is the viewpoint outline, that is, the opinions formed by the investigators in the investigation and study are listed one by one according to the logical relationship. The other is an item-based outline, that is, an outline is written one by one according to the chapters, sections and items expressed in hierarchical meaning. You can also combine these two kinds of outlines to make an outline.
4. Drafting social practice report
This is the writing stage of investigation report writing. According to the determined theme, selected materials and writing outline, the article should be written in an orderly manner. In the process of writing, we should choose language according to actual needs and divide paragraphs flexibly.
when writing, we should pay attention to: ① reasonable structure (title, introduction, body, ending, signature); (2) The report is standard in writing, which is aesthetic and readable, such as "formulating preferential policies to introduce urgently needed talents" and "using competition mechanism to revitalize existing talents". 3 read through and understand. Pay attention to the use of numbers, charts and technical terms, so as to make the language expressive, accurate, vivid and simple.
5. Revise the social practice report
After the social practice report is drafted, it should be carefully revised. Mainly to check the theme, materials, structure, language and punctuation of the report, and add, delete, modify and adjust it. After these tasks are completed, the final version can be submitted or published.
standard format of investigation report:
1. title
should reflect the object, field, direction and other issues to be investigated in concise, general and clear sentences. The title should be able to summarize the whole article and attract people's attention.
2. Preface (background and purpose)
mainly includes research background and purpose.
Background introduction should be concise. Background introduction generally includes some important literature summaries.
Purpose of the survey: to explain the necessity and pertinence of the survey, so that readers can understand the general situation, grasp the main idea of the report initially, and attract attention.
3. Methods
Describe the methods used in the research in detail. This part generally includes the following aspects:
place
time
survey object
survey object selection (sampling method), sample size estimation
survey method: qualitative and quantitative
quality control
4. Results and discussion
Results and discussion can be written together. It can also be written separately.
The results and discussion are divided into several sections. Generally, they are written by description, analysis and discussion.
Description:
Describe the occurrence and development process of things,
Describe the demographic and sociological characteristics of the people surveyed.
Describe the characteristics of the survey
Comparison:
Historical comparison
Comparison of people with different characteristics in this survey
Inference:
Statistical inference based on comparison
(prerequisite: representative survey samples)
Discussion: Reflect the depth and breadth of the author's academic thoughts. Focus on the results closely. And the main issues that may be controversial.
During the discussion, we should pay attention to the following points:
Raise the survey results to theory, get rid of the rough and the fine, get rid of the false and keep the true, and reveal the internal relations from the outside to the inside.
Discuss the reasons and theoretical basis for the contradiction with other people's results.
Have your own views and opinions. The argument is clear.
5. Conclusions and suggestions
