Modern research supervision is becoming increasingly wide-ranging and complex.
The UK Council of Graduate Education provides a good supervisor practice Framework (GSPF) that acknowledges the demanding set of roles involved in modern research supervision (https://supervision.ukcge.ac.uk/good-supervisory-practice-framework).
The framework is designed to set expectations for all supervisors, and to support supervisor development programmes. The framework is informed by an extensive body of academic research into research supervision and has been validated during a pilot study involving research supervisors across the UK.
This framework has the potential to help reassure you as a PhD supervisor that your practice already includes the activities of effective supervisors, whilst setting a standard of practice to work towards.
This purpose of this workshop is to:
- Provide information on the process and requirements for completing an application to the UK Council of Graduate Education for accreditation.
- Drawing on personal experience, this session will offer guidance on for those who wish to develop their pedagogical practices through structured self-reflection on their supervisory experiences
- Engage wider discussions around reward and recognition for PhD supervision.
