Thesis Work: An Ethnography of the Writing and Text Production of Professional Graduate Education Students
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This thesis examined the experiences of mature education and health professionals in graduate education programs at a large Canadian university to discover how they learned to write as academics and produce their theses, and to explore their particular challenges. Most of the participants were women, and most studied part-time while continuing their professional work. The research also examined the social organization of the graduate education programs, and the policies and practices that regulated the students' writing and text production. The study revealed which policies had positive results, and which were problematic or lacking. The method of inquiry was informed by institutional ethnography and autoethnography, conducted from the standpoint of graduate students. Participation in and observation of classes, study groups, thesis proposal presentations, conference presentations, mock thesis defenses, interviews and conversations revealed the dynamics between students and supervisors, as well as the value of students presenting their work at all stages and at different venues for feedback and development of their research, discourse and writing skills. Problem areas identified by the participants included supervision difficulties, part-time students' unmet needs, student mothers' challenges, and writing problems. Suggestions include that supervisors meet with students regularly, provide advice and resources as needed, return thesis drafts promptly, and provide study groups to augment individual supervision. Suggestions to assist part-time students include providing supervision and workshops on Saturdays, and more evening, online and summer courses. Mothers of babies and young children require on-site, flexible, subsidized daycare or subsidies for off-site care, and a support group. Teaching academic rhetoric and the genres required for thesis writing, providing writing assistance groups and groups for students who are "stuck" would alleviate some writing issues. Another suggestion is open monthly meetings on a Saturday with facilitators, a forum where students can discuss any questions or concerns, and develop social connections. ; Ph.D. ; 2017-06-16 00:00:00
