Sažetak
The motivation for this text are the outcomes of the First research days on supervision that were organized by the Doctoral Program “Social Work and Social Policy” (PDS SWSP) and the Postgraduate University Specialist Study Program “Supervision in Psychosocial Work” in April, 2023.
The plenary lecture on the conceptualization of qualitative research on the doctoral level and two panel discussions with doctoral students and their mentors showed that the process of preparation of doctoral theses on supervision is an intense process during which a transition of the roles from supervisors into researchers occurs, with a gradual integration of these two roles into a new, expanded professional identity. Apart from that, the preparation of a qualitative doctoral thesis is often a lonely process accompanied by numerous insecurities, and therefore it is necessary to develop new forms of support for doctoral students that would enable a creative space and time for doctoral students to reflect on the development of their supervisory and scientific-research identity.
The analysis of methodological aspects and outcomes of specialist final papers, as well as a panel discussion among supervisors, decision-makers and users of supervision in different systems (e.g. social welfare education, penal system) pointed out the need for further improvements, for example designing more complex research projects in which a team of postgraduate students and their mentors would take part. To maintain the quality of specialist final papers and doctoral theses, methodological workshops for students and mentors are needed.
