Results: Form, content and socialisation - Abstract - Title - Aim/relevance - Problem/-s - Coverage/main thread/constructive alignment - Originality and own contribution/-s - Method och empirism - Theory and previous research - Analysis - Argumentation - Resultats/Discussion Form: Motivates ”How to Write a Thesis”, Murray, p 14, p 22, 24-25, 26, 31-32

Content Three criteria: 1.Societal relevance 2.Scientific relevance 3.Communicative/understandable

Socialisation Learn how to understand the scientific community, through: a) regulations, norms, language, rituals, etc, b) active participation in seminars, conferences, applications etc, c) independence, d) originality– but not too much, legitimacy and identity.

curiosity, endurance, self-discipline, target oriented, communicative, intellectual capacity, working discipline, carefulness and stubborness (Erasmie, 1983). Desired abilities amongst doctoral students

”För att bli antagen till forskarutbildning krävs det att den sökande har grundläggande behörighet och den särskilda behörighet som fakultetsnämnden kan ha föreskrivit, och bedöms ha sådan förmåga i övrigt som behövs för att klara utbildningen” (Högskoleförordningen, 1993:100, 9 Kap., 2 §). Önskvärda karaktärsdrag/egenskaper/förmågor hos forskarstuderande: nyfikenhet, uthållighet, självdisciplin, målinriktning och god kommunikativ förmåga, intellektuell kapacitet men även arbetsdisciplin, noggrannhet och envishet (Erasmie, 1983). a) att kunna se vad man inte vet, dvs. att inse sin egen begränsning samt ha förmåga till självkritik, b) att kunna se vad som går att ta reda på, dvs. att ha kunskap om metoder och tekniker samt ha förmåga att prioritera, c) att kunna se vad som är värt att veta, dvs. att kunna relatera forskningsproblem till samhällsbehov, d) att kunna bygga upp en strategi för kunskapssökande, dvs. förmåga att hämta relevant information. Which abilities do you find important?

No criteria exist

i)Why do you think criteria are often left out? ii)How does this affect the process of writing a thesis?

These are outcomes, ie not criteria, The higher Education Ordinance

Play tennis-no fence?

Discussion 1) Criteria are not regarded as necessary, but the ground for judgement needs to be discussed: 2) The thesis as process and/or product? 3) Mini demands (according to Torstendahl, 2005) a) Logical consistancy, b) Empirical testability, c) All relevant material is taken into consideration, d) Coherence in presentation of results, e) New results/contributions (not only what has already been shown in previous research) (Torstendahl, 2005, p. 214).

Different subject traditions Criteria might obstruct innovative thinking, Consensus between senior researchers is more important than criteria, however risk for group-think. Discussion (cont.)

Thesis as process or product? Mini demands-relevant for your doctoral student´s work? Independent work and/or innovative? How can you be supportive as supervisor?

Conclusions Tacit knowledge, experienced based. Agreement about what is a complete and finished thesis. Difficult/impossible to agree on criteria. Flexibility in judgements by experts.

Using Communicative Action Theory to Analyse Relationships Between Supervisors and Phd Students in a Technical University in Sweden Michael Christie, Ramon Garrote Jurado 1) p 189: ”…different disciplines induce different styles of supervision” -how about your discipline? 2) p 192: ”…most of the incidents concern researchers in the natural sciences where collaborative laboratory work is important.” -what is your experience? 3) p 193: ”…situations where communication broke down because of different expectations from the supervisors and students in matter of writing and feedback…” -How can misunderstandings be prevented? 4) p 194: ”It is debatable whether or not it is a supervisor’s duty to provide emotional support”. - What is your opinion?
