AI 中文摘要
在被研究的科研机构中，一名教授每学期指导约20篇论文，日常指导工作则由博士生和博士后研究人员分担。为应对指导需求，该机构采用了以开题报告为核心的工作流程，要求学生在进入论文主体写作阶段前先准备一份研究提案。本文探讨学生、指导教师和管理人员如何将该工作流程视为早期论文准备的结构化过程，以及它如何在不同角色和两个数字平台间重新分配责任、指导工作和行政协调工作。基于采用Frauenberger等人的四个反思性设计视角分析的混合方法研究，研究结果显示，以开题报告为核心的模式将早期研究规划转变为提案撰写、反馈和批准的分阶段流程，从而使论文准备更具结构化。学生表示，该过程帮助他们明确了研究目标，并在早期阶段对自己的研究计划拥有自主权。然而，该工作流程只是重新分配了工作而非减少了工作：指导教师转向提供迭代反馈、可行性检查和初步质量保证，而管理人员则承担了跨平台、截止日期、提交和反馈的大量协调工作。本文对以开题报告为核心的论文准备作为社会技术工作流程进行了分析，表明工作流程重新设计可提升结构化程度，但会导致必要的行政协调工作被低估。
英文摘要
At the studied research institute, one professorship oversees approximately 20 theses per semester, while day-to-day supervision is distributed among doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. To manage this supervision demand, the institute uses an exposé-first workflow in which students prepare a research proposal before entering the main thesis-writing phase. This paper asks how students, supervisors, and administrators experience the exposé-first workflow as a structured process for early thesis preparation, and how it redistributes responsibility, supervision, and administrative coordination work across roles and two digital platforms. Based on a mixed-methods study analyzed through Frauenberger et al.'s four reflective design lenses, the findings show that the exposé-first model made thesis preparation more structured by turning early research planning into a staged process of proposal writing, feedback, and approval. Students reported that this process helped them clarify research goals and take ownership of their research plans at an early stage. However, the workflow redistributed rather than reduced work: supervisors shifted toward iterative feedback, feasibility checking, and preliminary quality assurance, while administrators carried much of the coordination across platforms, deadlines, submissions, and feedback. The paper contributes an analysis of exposé-first thesis preparation as a sociotechnical workflow, showing how workflow redesign can improve structure while leaving essential administrative coordination work underrecognized.
