Abstract: B.A. thesis writing is an important practical part of university education that reflects the quality of the graduates. Through a survey of B.A. theses of graduates of the years 2019 - 2023 of a local normal university of Hunan Province and the follow-up analysis and questionnaire investigation, the following major problems have been identified: inadequate coverage of heated education topics, limited literature resources, over concentration of research methods, lack of independent views, poor wording and monotonous ways of raising questions. The underlying reasons include awareness and attitude of academic research, curriculum teaching of research methods, communication with and guidance from the tutors and management system platform. To actually improve quality of B.A. theses in primary education, the following measures, therefore, should be taken: giving the students chances to take part in academic exchanges to enhance their awareness of academic research; clearly defining thesis evaluation standards and making sure that these regulations are implemented; strengthening curriculum reform of research methods to develop research ability of the students; strengthening responsibility awareness of the tutors to provide better thesis writing guidance to the students; and optimizing the management system platform and simplifying the teachers’ and students’ operation procedures.

Key words: B.A. thesis, undergraduate education, primary education
