Publishing with Dissertation Students: A Covert Strategy for Developing Psychology Students' Employability Skills?
Elliot, Dely Lazarte
Psychology Teaching Review, v26 n1 p96-102 2020
With continuing priority given to the development of Higher Education students' employability skills, this paper reflects on the employability framework as well as recommended principles for promoting and embedding employability within and outwith the curriculum. Given existing traditional and innovative approaches for promoting employability skills, this paper is an attempt to share what could be regarded as an effective but covert practice that can considerably contribute to both the development as well as demonstration of psychology students' acquired employability skills. Based on the supervisor's four examples of collaboration -- two completed and two ongoing -- this paper discusses various considerations for this type of collaboration, ending with the reciprocal lessons learned. This paper encourages other supervisors to consider harnessing and realising the potentially multiple benefits of working further with their dissertation students in the post-supervision stage.
