Abstract

After having supervised the 30th doctoral thesis at the University of Lapland, Finland, Professor Kaarina Määttä invited the doctoral graduates and their circle of acquaintances to talk about their experiences of the process of writing a doctoral thesis and their opinions on good supervision and support. What did the dissertation process give and demand? Those who can answer this question are the ones who have defended their doctoral theses as well as the candidates’ spouses and professionals in the scientific community. This book introduces explicitly all the phases of graduating as a doctor, reveals the personal matters concerning doctoral theses, and concretizes the pedagogy of supervising doctoral theses. This book is aimed at doctoral students and their professors as well as everyone who is somehow connected to the dissertation process. The aim of this anthology is to support prospective doctoral students and their supervisors in their dissertation processes.

Abstract

APPROACHES TO QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH is designed for both undergraduate and postgraduate business students who are planning to undertake a research project or dissertation. Due to a lack of formal research training and experience, students can find completing research projects a daunting task. This, coupled with a fear of statistics, can culminate in quite an overwhelming experience for many students. Therefore, APPROACHES TO QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH takes a practical approach to quantitative research techniques by providing step-by-step guides to their application and interpretation. By using

Abstract

Qualitative research has emerged from a twentieth century ‘paradigm war’ at the doctoral level to become a significant and real opportunity for undergraduate, masters’, and doctoral students at colleges and universities around the world. ESL researchers, first generation college students, and individuals identifying themselves as “quants” are discovering the capacity of their own thinking as they learn about and simultaneously undertake qualitative research for their theses. This book is the result of a general query; it is composed almost entirely of the thoughts, concerns, and wisdom of sixty-nine current and recently defended doctoral students across the process of learning about and choosing to do qualitative research for the dissertation. The correspondents’ thinking serves as a thoughtful companion to the process of learning by doing. This book is not a “how to” book. Rather it is a series of candid, thoughtful and insightful reflections re-presented in a variety of formats, e.g. whole letters, “interviews”, etc. This is also not a book to read from beginning to end; readers can begin anywhere – with a particular correspondent, who is introduced at the beginning, or with a particular topic, using the tables of content or subject indices. Finally, this book is not a textbook providing readers with “correct answers” and “the” way to do things, although much of what the correspondents have to offer will keep learners new to qualitative research from having to ‘reinvent the wheel.’ Twenty-first Century Learning by Doing evidences the vulnerability and power of both the human heart and intellect as each grapples with complexities and ambiguities that epitomize the work learning and doing qualitative research is.

Abstract

Compassie krijgt in toenemende mate aandacht als belangrijke waarde voor goede verpleegkundige zorg. Vooral voor chronisch zieke ouderen is zorg met compassie van belang omdat zij vaak langdurig afhankelijk zijn van verpleegkundige zorg. Chronisch zieke ouderen moeten inleveren als gevolg van hun ziekte, zij lijden verlies op verschillende aspecten in hun leven. Toch is compassie geen expliciete waarde in beroepsprofielen of andere formele omschrijvingen van verpleegkundige zorg. Dit proefschrift laat zien wat compassie is en betekent voor de zorg aan chronisch zieke ouderen. Margreet van der Cingel onderzocht hoe chronisch zieke ouderen en verpleegkundigen compassie ervaren en toepassen in de dagelijkse uitvoer van verpleegkundige zorg. De verpleegkundige kan compassie tonen door mee te leven op basis van zeven dimensies: aandacht, luisteren, leed benoemen, betrokkenheid, helpen, aanwezigheid en begrip. Voor chronisch zieke ouderen betekent zorg met compassie dat er beter met hen wordt samengewerkt. Zorgdoelen worden daadwerkelijk op basis van hun voorkeuren vastgesteld, zoals dat in evidence based practice hoort. Compassie was in de moderne verpleegkunde altijd al een kernwaarde, nu wordt duidelijk dat compassie een expliciete en formele plaats in de verpleegkunde behoort te krijgen.

Abstract

In een samenleving waarin het aantal tweeverdienersgezinnen nog steeds toeneemt, is de afstemming van betaald werk op het privéleven uitgegroeid tot een maatschappelijk probleem. Gezinnen kunnen verschillende strategieën volgen om de combinatie van werk en gezin haalbaar te maken. Een veel gebruikte manier om een betere werk-gezin-balans te realiseren is deeltijds werken.Deze doctoraatsstudie onderzoekt de context en dynamiek van de keuze voor deeltijds werk door jongvolwassen vrouwen in Vlaanderen. Draagt deeltijdwerk werkelijk bij tot een verbetering van de werk-gezinbalans of spreekt de vermindering van de arbeids-tijd vooral personen met een specifiek profiel aan? De studie analyseert de combinatiedruk bij deeltijds werkenden, de rol van kwalitatieve kenmerken van de betaalde baan en persoonlijke houdingen ten aanzien van betaald werk bij de keuze voor deeltijds werk

Abstract

This book records the stories of doctoral study experiences of the twenty-two writers. These research degree experiences are embedded in the lives and careers of the writers and the twenty-two distinctive projects draw from those individual lives and careers. The authors write about meeting the continuing demands of older and younger family members and of their struggles with ill health and work place demands while working through their studies. There is also the joy of coming to see themselves and being seen as research scholars and supporting and celebrating with others as they move through candidature proposals and ethics applications to graduation. Apart from the stories that bring the writers to their particular projects and that colour their individual journeys, storying methodology is most often selected for the research, all of which is undertaken within the arts, humanities and education. Phenomenology, narrative, ethnography are central to most of the studies and the detailed accounts of each research topic, methods and outcomes locate each of the research projects in rich bodies of knowledge. Valued writers and readers in these fields, Mary Beattie and Elaine Martin have read each reflection and provided in turn a foreword and an afterword which bookend the volume and further enrich these reflections on learning, life and work.

Abstract

Supervising Practices for Postgraduate Research in Art, Architecture and Design offers insights into supervisory practices in creative and design-based research by academics at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Australia. The book focuses on practices of supervising candidates who are undertaking postgraduate research in art, architecture, design and creative writing. It addresses a decisive shift in the academy towards an emphasis on applied practice-led research undertaken through project-based investigations. This model articulates an effective means to conduct research on knowledge both embodied in, and discovered through creative and design practices. Such knowledge can be understood in the context of broad socio-cultural changes in which creative and applied practice is defining and leading cultural, scientific, technological and creative economies. The contributors to this book investigate a range of supervisory strategies and wider concerns to do with knowledge and its formations. They focus on diverse pedagogical models and methodologies of supervising practices through applied practice-led research, exhibitions, ethics, writing, theory and practice, language and design. The authors are experienced supervisors of creative and practice-led research who have engaged in scholarly reflections on selective aspects of their supervisory practices with the aim of providing insight to others regarding what they do, and how and why they do it. The overall aim of this collection is to open up dialogue and debate around emerging modes of postgraduate research and supervisory practice in universities of the twenty-first century. This is a very astute and valuable contribution to the literature on supervision in the applied arena with a series of excellent discussions on creative practice-based research, pedagogical practices of supervision, creative writing and the creative work in process, ‘generative praxis’, distance supervision, doctoral exhibitions, supervision of designers, and a range of related issues and concerns. ‘It is a path-breaking, path-finding book that will be of great assistance to all kinds of professionals and students across a wide range of disciplines and with important lessons for all doctoral supervision. It is an exciting and accessible book and a great achievement for a group of colleagues in a leading institution.’ Michael A. Peters Emeritus Professor, University.
