As the backbone of the future of the discipline, graduate students’ innovative abilities are of great concern. Tutoring styles, as a key factor, have an urgent need for in-depth exploration of their impact on the innovative abilities of graduate students in materials science. This study focuses on the impact of tutoring styles on the innovative abilities of graduate students in materials science. By combing through relevant literature and conducting practical surveys and analyses, the study explores the characteristics of different tutoring styles and their mechanisms of action on graduate students’ innovative thinking, practical abilities, and other aspects. The study finds that scientific and rational tutoring styles can significantly enhance the innovative abilities of graduate students in materials science, providing theoretical basis and practical references for optimizing tutoring strategies and improving the quality of graduate student training. tutoring styles,materials science,graduate students,innovative abilities 10.61360/BoniCETR252019211204
