Turning the spotlight on Intellectual Humility
Striking a balance between managing intellectual uncertainties and pursuing researcher independence is a key challenge facing many doctoral scholars. Our collaborative autoethnographic research in the British, Japanese and South African contexts examines the uncharted role of intellectual humility – what it is and how it can affect doctoral learning, progress and overall development. Drawing upon the hidden curriculum’s perspectives, we propose a…
Doctoral intelligence
Shifting doctoral contexts disrupt conventional doctoral educational practice. A research development framework is thus necessary; one that can advance quality research but also enhance skills for social impact beyond the qualification. The doctoral intelligence framework has been conceptualised to provide a map of the doctoral terrain and represents the knowing, doing, thinking and willing mindsets or mental tools necessary for success. The arti…
Containing and harnessing uncertainty during postgraduate research supervision
Students may experience uncertainties when planning and conducting research. On the one hand, a measure of uncertainty is an inherent part of knowledge creation and represents the positive dimension of uncertainty in research. On the other hand, if uncertainties are not handled well, it could negatively affect the process and quality of research. Uncertainty has been studied within the business environment but not within higher education and spec…
Patterns of empowerment in individuals through the course of a life-skills programme in South Africa
This research focuses on examining the effects of a local life-skills training programme as an intervention that claims to empower workers. The effects were observed on three levels of empowerment (micro-level, interface level and macro-level) at three testing occasions (before the course, directly after and then three months after completion of the programme). By applying a factor analysis the patterns of empowerment were examined to observe the…
