The Pedagogy of Postgraduate Research Supervision and Its Complexities
Lumadi, Mutendwahothe Walter
College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, v4 n11 p25-32 2008
This article attempts to clarify the role of supervisors in guiding postgraduate research students and the challenges and complexities encountered in the process of supervision. In the analysis and interpretation of data, it became evident that supervision of postgraduate research students varies enormously, depending on the subject area, the background and needs of the student, and the work patterns and personalities of both the student and the supervisor. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
