Post-graduate diploma students' evaluation of the academic supervision practices at the post-graduate diploma level

Abstract:

Supervisors' engagement in the teaching and learning process is crucial in assisting the organisation's objectives to be successfully achieved. This study evaluated post-graduate diploma students' perceptions of academic supervision practices. The study was conducted using a quantitative design. Data were collected through an online questionnaire to explore the students' views towards the supervision practices conducted at the higher institute. The target group was all post-graduate diploma students enrolled at the institute in the current academic year. The SPSS statistics package program was used to analyse the data. The findings indicated positive results that reflect the effectiveness of the efforts made in the supervision practices at the higher institute. The results also obtained more understanding and further insights into the key factors affecting supervision practices, which helped to draw recommendations on enhancing the efficiency of the supervisor's interactions in the supervision process and increasing student supervision competence.
