HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUPERVISOR FOR THE PhD THESIS?
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2015, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
I would like to thank the editor for the place and possibility to write a brief contribution to the problematic of supervisors. I know it is possible to write about this topic more than one page. Here, only a very short kind of information is presented toward this problem and maybe in the future, it will be possible to read more about this. The right supervisor is one of the most important persons in the life of a PhD student. This cooperation aims to the quality of work (about the quality, I do not want to write, because this concept is very abstract and in the eyes of every person it means something else), next it influences the awareness, what the research work means. This relationship has an influence on the future life of students, as personal to work. We will be talking about the work life of the student. We can meet different types of supervisors, probably the worst one is the one, who has got students only for his own benefit (financial support – it depends on the country; the necessity for the next academic degree; publication purposes; students’ work on the department; etc.). In this case students are dependent on their own skills and help from the others, except the supervisor.
