Abstract | This article reports on part of a study of dissertation work in taught Masters courses. It focuses on presenting findings from interviews with 13 supervisors in a faculty of education concerning the normative order that they believed should prevail within the supervisory relationship, and their complex representation of student agency and of student and supervisor responsibilities. The final discussion frames central findings within a sociocultural account of learning and teaching. It highlights the quality of shaping and supporting students efforts that framed supervisors commitments and actions: i.e. it details how supervisors saw themselves as having a gatekeeping role and a commitment to align students work with academic standards, and at the same time a personal commitment which involved a responsibility to assist students to pursue a topic that excited their interest and to support their sense of agency.
