Purpose The main purpose of the seminar is to expand your repertoire of supervision strategies and thus, to increase your flexibility as a supervisor. Target group Prerequisite for participation is a doctoral degree. Learning outcome At the end of the seminar, participants are able to: - describe and substantiate their practice as supervisors
- align expectations with students early and regularly in a project
- encourage students' writing processes and provide constructive feedback
- apply communication methods that ensure progression in supervision meetings and promote students’ independence
- identify and manage typical conflicts in supervision, such as balancing between support and structure, between product and process supervision, between private and professional elements in supervision relationships
Content The seminar focuses on supervision of master’s students and PhD students. It addresses three key supervisory skills: - Process skills: e.g., the ability to establish and maintain constructive work relationships with students, to align expectations early and regularly, to balance conflicting needs, and to plan and monitor progress
- Text-related skills: e.g., the ability to assess students’ academic texts and to provide formative feedback that is targeted, prioritized, criteria-based, specific, and instructive.
- Communication skills: e.g., the ability to ask questions that promote students' independent thinking, to listen actively and attentively, and to meta-communicate the content and process of supervision.
