Title | The DProf advisor/candidate relationship: a coaching model? Evidence from two DProf programmes |
Authors | Fillery-Travis, A. and Robinson, L. |
Abstract | The Professional Doctorate at Middlesex University has developed over the last fifteen years with over 180 current and past candidates. It is a generic, individually negotiated programme where the primary resource for the candidate is the one to one support of the academic adviser. In contrast the Professional Doctorate in Practical Theology at the University of Chester is a subject-specific programme based on cohorts who meet regularly within a residential format. One author on this paper is a lead faculty member of the Middlesex programme and consultant to the second author who is a candidate on the Chester programme. We both come from a professional background in coaching and the candidate’s DProf research focus is the advisor-advisee relationship. This research explores the nature and practice of academic supervision of professional doctorates through the observation and interpretation of lived experience of supervisory relationships in the context of a generic and a practical theology programme. This positioning allows us to compare our experience of advising from multiple perspectives in two very different programme designs. |
