Successful Research Supervision offers a research-based practical
framework for academics to examine and develop their effectiveness as
research supervisors. Underpinned by practical and current research and
focusing on the effective techniques needed to thrive as a supervisor,
the second edition is fully updated, providing a go-to guide for both
novice and more experienced supervisors.
With new sections examining ethical procedures, the use of social media
to gather data and promote research, supporting academic writing and
co-supervision, this book guides readers from the initial steps to
managing a project through to successful completion.
This book will help academics to:
- expand a repertoire of actions and responses, giving the flexibility
to meet different situations with ease and confidence
- understand the influence of value and experiences in the choice of
approach to research students
- be able to choose the most appropriate combination of approaches for a
particular curriculum or project
- employ a neutral language for developing and assisting others.
By identifying the optimum combination of approaches to best fit
individuals, Successful Research Supervision helps supervisors to move
their students towards the ultimate goal of being able to study
independently in a thoughtful, coherent and efficient manner.
This book is crucial reading for all supervisors looking to improve
their practice. This is the companion guide to Successful Research
Projects, a comprehensive and accessible guide for busy students facing
postgraduate research projects. It covers the key questions, challenges
and solutions and helps identify important goals and solve problems
associated with research projects.
