| Popis: | A simulation model has been developed in this paper to show how a peer-to-peer mentoring setting for sharing work-in-progress research can influence the academic journey of graduate students. The authors have used their personal experience in design, development, and establishment of such a setting to formulate dynamic reference modes of behavior and the model structure. Simulation results show that achieving a balance between smooth graduate research journey, depth of subject matter knowledge, and sharing work-in-progress could be challenging. A hypothetical optimal idea-sharing frequency exists though. We found, through model simulations, that over-sharing, under-sharing, or premature sharing have significant consequences for graduate life. Regardless of its value, keeping the optimal sharing frequency constant might help the students to improve upon their socio-academic life. |
