Supervisors’ Forum Meeting ~ postponed
Because of the Vice Chancellor’s visit to three schools on 13 March, we have had to postpone this meeting of the Supervisor’s Forum. We will post a new date for the meeting once it is decided.
You are warmly invited to a meeting of the university’s Supervisors’ Forum
Between Theory and Practice: the pedagogical dimension of doctoral supervision
Dr Cristina Devecchi, School of Education
Wednesday 13 March ~ 12-2 pm ~ Cottesbrooke 201, Park Campus
This workshop aims to bridge the gap between the implicit theory of supervision and its practice. It will do so by providing a theoretical canvas onto which it would be possible to map personal practice and experiences as supervisors and teachers. In the first part of the session, an overview of major theories of learning would be provided. In the second part of the session, a more practical workshop will enable participants to make explicit the link between theories and their own practice. Read the rest of this entry
Supervisor Development Programme
The university runs a development programme for supervisors who are new to research degree supervision. It is a validated university postgraduate course and it is delivered as two masters-level modules – Workshops and Observation. It is a requirement of our research degree regulations that everyone who is new to supervision takes the first module – the workshops. The second module is optional but if you complete both you are awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Degree Supervision which you can count as one completion when putting together supervisory teams.
The workshops for 2012/13 will run 9.30-4.00 on Thursday 29th November, Tuesday 4th December and Friday 7th December 2012. There will be a further session of seminars led by participants early in 2013 – date to be negotiated with participants. You will be expected to attend on all of these days. Hopefully you can schedule other commitments, particularly teaching, around these dates.
The programme is co-ordinated by Prof Ian Livingstone. If you would like to join this year’s development programme and haven’t previously contacted Ian, please contact him now.
