Much has been written about research supervision models relevant to other academic disciplines within the higher education sector. However, the literature search in this paper has noted that there is potential for developing a more robust discussion on research cohort supervision experiences of postgraduate students engaged in a full-research qualification within the Health Sciences faculty of the selected university. The aim of this paper is to share insight, research findings and discuss key issues related to this type of supervision model. A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive research design was used to collect data through in-depth one-on-one interviews with the Faculty of Health Sciences’ students across all departments to identify benefits and challenges in the facilitation of postgraduate research cohort supervision workshops. Findings were analysed using Tesch’s method of data analysis and revealed that while research supervision can be complex for all concerned parties, the traditional one-on-one supervision needs to be complemented by other strategies, like the cohort supervision approach. The study also noted that cohort sessions supplemented the support offered to them, allowing them to draw on the expertise of other experienced and novice supervisors. In addition, students benefitted from the guidance provided by their cohort peers as they navigated the various phases of the research process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
