2. The Cohort Model – Pros & Cons
Issues in Doctoral Research & Supervision by Distance
Some generic & some specific to DE:
• ABD
• Dropout in early stages of project or dissertation
• Lack of support structures & processes: staff & students (
Malfroy (2005)
• Student isolation (Denicolo, 2004)
• Inadequate writing preparation (Kamler& Thomson, 2004)
• Poor supervision skills (Connell, 1985)
Some solutions in Cohort Model & Social Networking
Ask me:
why these issues occur …
how they can be addressed?
what pedagogies can be applied?
what technologies can assist?
And the dark side …
focus internal to group
over-cohesiveness
“us-and-them” phenomenon
age-related phenomena
On-going research…
