This paper offers an interim analysis of written feedback on a first draft PhD thesis. It looks at two sources data: in-text and overall feedback. Looking how language is used in its situational context, we then coded the developed model for based three fundamental functions speech: referential, directive expressive. was found that expressive benefited supervisee most. The interaction between supervisor played important role induction into academic community, suggests peer-to-peer education....

Doctoral supervisors aim for two goals. One is a strong thesis, timely in submission. The other the fully fledged independent researcher who able to write about research clearly within an epistemologically accepted framework. Feedback and feedforward on writing should address both However, many institutions, are under pressure towards completion of urgency can easily over-ride development with full set academic competencies. There also tension between high emotional response from students...

In today's society, time is considered more valuable than money, and researchers often have limited to find relevant papers for their research. Identifying accessing essential information can be a challenge in this situation. To address this, the personalized suggestion system has been developed, which uses user's behavior data suggest items. The collaborative filtering strategy used provide user with top research articles based on queries similarities other users' questions, thus saving by...

AbstractThis paper discusses the role of peer support groups (PSGs) in realising graduate attributes research degree. The literature indicates that top-down embedding has met with only limited success. By taking a bottom-up approach, this shows PSGs offer an opportunity to improve attribute outcomes universities. This presents experiences students three New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia, results exploratory opinion survey required past present PSG members share their learning about...

The Healthcare system of India provides outreach services to the rural population with a key focus on maternal and child health through its flagship program Community Health Workers (CHWs). since launch has reached scale over 900000 workers across country observed significant benefits indicators. However, traditional face training mechanisms persistent challenge in providing adequate capacity building opportunities CHWs which leads their sub-optimal knowledge skill sets. In this paper, we...

This qualitative inquiry investigates postgraduate students' conceptions of research methodology and how it contributes to their learning. It explores factors likely motivate student choice challenges in understanding methods. The was carried out at research-intensive universities New Zealand Malaysia with similar programmes. Participants were enrolled Masters Ph.D. Findings revealed that participants share a recognition is significant body knowledge education. However, there noticeable...

Cartography has undergone a significant transformation due to advancements in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geospatial data availability, and emerging Communication Technologies (ICT). The democratization of mapping tools empowered individuals from diverse backgrounds contribute map-making, transcending the traditional domain professional cartographers. This shift fostered public engagement, creativity, inclusion cartography, enabling production maps that reflect varied interests,...

This paper provides insights into the doctoral journey of a supervisee by analysing written feedback provided supervisors and thesis examiners. As one aim education is to train scholars become independent researchers, that highly self‐regulated learners, this study paves way for an understanding link between learning process. Based on analysis speech functions, two three examiners were classified main categories: referential, directive expressive. The results indicate value expressive...

Very few empirical studies have investigated programmes in which doctoral students act as peer facilitators faculty writing groups. We report on the development of a centrally delivered student programme twenty participants were mentored and provided with resources to initiate their own faculty-based 'Legitimate peripheral participation' was used conceptual lens interpret data collected during establishment evaluation programme. All preparatory training course, developed consultation...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a leading global health challenge, especially in low-resource settings. Accurate diagnosis from chest X-rays is critical yet challenging due to subtle manifestations of TB, particularly its early stages. Traditional computational methods, primarily using basic convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often require extensive pre-processing and struggle with generalizability across diverse clinical environments. This study...

Purpose Companies are increasingly adopting design processes as a key driver for their innovation practice. Design help companies develop innovations that produce high user value well economic and business value. The purpose of this paper is to describe how can be effectively used in projects through good understanding principles, tools, frameworks. Design/methodology/approach frameworks based on our direct experience with several within leading companies. adopted by many other projects,...

A substantial body of research emphasizes the importance humor in teaching/learning processes; however, on reasons for non-use academic contexts has enjoyed scant attention. Addressing this gap, study examines instructors’ avoidance taking into account student perceived benefits using ESL classrooms. Data were collected through an open-response questionnaire. Participants a university Malaysia asked to provide their views on: (a) some instructors avoid humor, and (b) L2 classes. Responses...

Discourse regarding modern doctoral studies criticises the traditional notion of education as being too narrow to facilitate knowledge creation and transfer towards economy. This study considered pedagogical links supervisory practices enable transformative learning experiences. The study, grounded in student–faculty partnership framework concepts, partnered five senior students with three faculty supervisors for more than a year mentor junior research through variety strategies. Through...

Purpose – As companies try to gain a deeper understanding of consumers, they are increasingly turning user-observation and ethnographic processes. However, because this work is normally done in an informal manner, it tends only have value for the small number team members working on particular project. This paper seeks describe method that much more structured than normal processes, allowing conduct observational research able be large scale reused. Design/methodology/approach Ethnographic...

Supervision is generally recognised as playing a crucial role in the quality of research student's doctoral experience and their academic outcomes and, common with most areas higher education, there an oft-stated desire to pursue excellence this important area. Excellence degree supervision is, however, elusive concept on close scrutiny discussions high-quality supervision, even those that purport be identifying excellence, refer competence rather than excellence. This paper examines two...

Team or co-supervision of doctoral students has been adopted by many universities in different parts the world. This study focuses on a key aspect this supervision model that is both perceived advantage and challenge, namely need for supervisors to work collaboratively with colleagues benefit students. It argues transparent conversations are essential co-supervisory teams ensuring productive working relationships. We surveyed 106 interviewed 14 others find out main problems what topics...
