Doctoral Research Supervision-Team Approach and Perspective of Socratic Method at the University of Rwanda (UR): Opportunity for Innovation

Abstract

We undertook this research after discussing with some PhD graduates who related that they have been discouraged and stressed by the lack of enough findings along their research’s journey. After our discussion I wanted to analyze the research supervision in colleges of the University of Rwanda (UR) and their way of mitigation with the purpose of targeting how to maximize the possibility of innovation. Research-supervision at UR colleges is composed of two or three supervisors for one doctoral candidate who meet to discuss on the research or interact online.
