How satisfied are HDR candidates and supervisors with their Supervisory relationship?
A current study, conducted by the Australian Human Rights Institute and the Gendered Violence Research Network (GVRN) at the University of New South Wales, Sydney (UNSW), and supported by the Australian Council of Graduate Research, aimed to explore this question, including workplace relationship issues.
The Phase 2 (final) report on the study indicated most Candidates and Supervisors that they were satisfied with their current HDR supervision experience.
Specifically:
• 856 (70.9%) Candidates and 544 (84.9%) Supervisors indicated that they were either ‘Satisfied’ or ‘Very satisfied’
• More Candidates indicated that they were dissatisfied compared to Supervisors. Almost one in five Candidates indicated that they were either ‘Dissatisfied’ (158, 13.1%) or ‘Very dissatisfied’ (5.2%) with their supervision experience, but only one in 20 of Supervisors indicated the same (‘Dissatisfied’ – 32, 5.0%, ‘Very dissatisfied – 5,0.8%).
