Abstract

Bu araştırmada doktora öğrenimlerinin tez aşamasında bulunan öğrencilerin, kendilerine danışmanlık yapan öğretim üyelerinin "temel yetkinlik", "teknik yetkinlik" ve "yönetsel yetkinlik" özellikleri konusundaki görüşlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışması (örnek olay) deseni tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemi amaçsal örnekleme tekniklerinden ölçüt örnekleme tekniğine göre belirlenmiş, veriler 15 kişilik bir çalışma grubundan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırma verileri içerik analizine göre analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre katılımcı öğrencilerin bazıları teknik, yönetsel ve temel yetkinlikler itibarıyla danışmanlarını yetersiz görürken, bazı öğrencilerin öğretim üyelerinin yetkinlikleri konusunda kanaatlerinin olumlu olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Öğrenciler birbirleriyle doğrudan ve sosyal medya üzerinden iletişim kurarak danışmanlık süreçlerinin nasıl işlediği konusunda bilgi sahibi olabilmekte ve kendi durumlarını ötekine göre değerlendirebilmektedirler. Araştırmanın danışmanlık kurumunun etkinliği konusunda bir kanaatin ortaya çıkarılmasına katkısı nedeniyle özgün ve önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the opinions of PhD students who are in their dissertation-writing stage, on their supervisors' "core competency", "technical competency" and "managerial competency". Designed as a case study, it employs a qualitative research methodology. The sample of the study consists of 15 PhD students determined by using the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposive sampling methods. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form. The obtained data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that some of the PhD students found their supervisors inadequate in terms of technical, managerial and core competencies while some of them had positive opinions on the competencies of their supervisors. PhD students learn about how supervising processes work and compare themselves to their peers by communicating with each other directly and through social media. The study is original and important since it makes a significant contribution to revealing the effectiveness of PhD supervision.
