Description
Workshop summaryA doctorate is a journey towards academic independence. Doctoral students start and finish at different points, gaining different skills along the way; doctoral supervisors place different emphases on different points of the journey and have different interpretations of what it means to be an 'effective PGR student'. This workshop does not take a rules-and-regulations approach to supervision or attempt to instruct supervisors in one particular way of managing the complex supervisory relationship. Rather, the workshop is designed to help supervisors build the skills of their students so as to develop them into independent and motivated researchers. Participants will consider the doctoral journey and the challenges that students face along the way, and explore what support they might offer at which points. The workshop will introduce a number of ideas, case studies and conceptual frameworks to help participants’ thinking and practice in this area.
Aims and Objectives
• Consider the expectations of all parties in the supervisory relationship
• Engage with how to develop motivated and effective doctoral scholars
• Consider difficulties and issues in supervision
• Share practice of effective supervisory strategies.
