Do You Supervise Doctoral Students?

Do you (or somebody you know, such as your doctoral supervisor or mentor) supervise, mentor, advise, or teach doctoral students?

Have you ever seen an aha moment occur with your doctoral students, when they suddenly grasp something related to their study in a way that helps them move into a new place in their work or thinking or experience? If so, we would love to speak with you for a research project we are engaging in that we are calling Faculty Support: Doctoral Student Threshold Concepts.

More information about what we are planning to do may be found here, including our research consent form.

Please consider forwarding a link to this study to anybody who you think may be interested in this work or email me if you have any questions or wish to participate.

  • Have to run; will see my #phdchat colleagues again online soon. #
  • That is a limitation for #CAQDAS in that it is formulated for grounded theory and there are many newer qualitative methods #phdchat #
  • I even believe the #CAQDAS apps were built in response to the demands of grounded theory. #phdchat #
  • My experience with grounded theory is that there are more notes and comments and connections than data itself. #phdchat #
  • Seeing some useful book, article, and website references today regarding research data analysis in #phdchat #
  • One other thing about analyzing data with grounded theory; I nearly had a meltdown without using a #CAQDAS app. I bought #MAXQDA #phdchat #
  • I have found grounded theory to be a most powerful way to analyze data. As a warning, it is almost a beyond belief amount of work. @phdchat #
  • Planning to join #phdchat now; the subject is 'Analysing Data.' The session runs about an hour, so come join if you can. #
  • Extending earlier research: Supervising the Doctorate Experience – Invitation to Participate in a Study http://bit.ly/dPuwn3 #phdchat #phd #
  • Attended a department research seminar this morning at #Lancaster my university, that started to stream them online. #phdchat #phd #
