Abstract | Abstract The project upon which this paper is based is a qualitative study of the supervision [thesis advising]1 of research students [graduate students] in departments of education and psychology in three British universities. Two models are apparent in the literature of supervision. Thetechnical rationality model gives priority to issues of procedure or technique, while thenegotiated order model conceptualizes supervision as a process open to negotiation and change. We look at supervisory style, reporting findings on the nature of tutorials [meetings] between supervisor and student, the extent of direction given by the supervisor to the project, and the nature of the interpersonal relationship between the parties. We also consider student strategies. Our findings suggest that although the technical rationality model has much to recommend it, a negotiated order model is a better description of what happens in practice. |
