Research Guidance Experiences, Expectations and Perceived Learning Outcomes of University Students in Pakistan
Abstract
The completion of research process principally depends upon the relationship of students and their supervisors. The study recognizes students’ perceptions about their supervisors’ mentoring skills. This study explores the research experiences of PhD Scholars and determines their relationships with the supervisors. The population of the study involves five Public Sector Universities of Punjab and sample consists of 100 PhD Scholars in social sciences, 20 from each university. A self-developed five point liker scale was applied as an instrument to collect data from respondents. The validity of the tool was insured and reliability was affirmed through Cronbach Alpha. Data were analyzed through SPSS; ANOVA was applied to conclude the results. The outcomes of the study revealed that students were facilitated with proper guidance during research work. The study suggests that Universities should set a framework for meetings by fixing time for the researcher on regular basis to insure the provision of scholarly guidance
