Doctoral Supervision

Studies regarding doctoral education can focus the PhD student, the supervisor, higher education institution (policy, curriculum, professional career support, culture, among others). PhD students, supervisors and higher education institution, constitute three keys for the same door (doctoral education), and without one of them, the door can´t be well open. Choose which of them should be analyzed is the researcher responsibility, as present data and look carefully to it. During the last years' doctoral education and the doctoral supervision process at UNL as been studied, looking to PhD students, supervisors and institution [1-5]. In the present research, the focus is on supervisor perception. It is important to know supervisor opinion, to attempt and captures their perceptions regarding the doctoral supervision process. When the supervisor thinks and responds to surveys regarding supervision, he/she is presenting an image of himself/herself. This study occurred among the PhD supervisor population at a Science engineering school (Faculdade de Ciências Tecnologia) at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, a Portuguese Higher education institution, with a footprint in the research area. It was possible to capture the image that reflected in the mirror when the supervisor looked. The unexpected image reflected is of a researcher and not a supervisor. When they look to their doctorates, they generally see future technicians/ qualified workers and not a future researcher. Nonetheless, they consider that to finish the PhD, doctorates have to acquire the research profile. This mismatch is consistent with the reality, where attrition exists and many students think to live the academy after the enrollment in the PhD.

Their parenting experience gives them a strong personality and an inspiration to continue their education pursuits. Though managing time is really hard for them, they are able to surpass it through time management and parental help. Support systems such as their teachers, classmates, parents, friends, and relatives also play a significant role in their lives. This study provides understanding on how to make tertiary education more accessible and transformational most especially to women who handle the dual roles as students and parents.

Higher Education Institution

The head of the higher education institution does not only play the role of administrator, manager, and supervisor of the programs established by the institution. The role of the head of the higher education institution to be a leader of the higher education institution must be able to grow the effectiveness of the planned program, be innovative in making decisions, as well as efficient in terms of time management, especially in terms of empowering educators. All of this must be internalized within the leadership of higher education institutions in building Good University Governance. This study uses qualitative research methods based on literature studies. The role of leadership in empowering educators to build Good University Governance will not be separated from its success in applying discipline, communication, participation, and building a professional work culture. Leaders of higher education institutions not only play roles as administrators, leaders, managers, or supervisors, but are holistically demanded to play an active role in internalizing strong responsibilities, as leadership capital capable of empowering teaching staff, effectively and measurably.
