Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Research has shown that the extensive burden of work frequently carried by doctoral supervisors can be cognitively and emotionally challenging. Therefore, there is a need to examine the challenges supervisors experience in their mentorship roles, as well as the strategies they develop and apply to foster their own wellbeing. Drawing on a larger phenomenological research study, this chapter presents a discussion of the importance of supervisors’ wellbeing based on the interview data from 16 doctoral supervisors at Canadian universities. Findings revealed that supervisors viewed wellbeing as a priority for their students, and for themselves. They developed different nourishing and coping strategies to maintain and foster their wellbeing. They benefited from practicing a positive and growth-oriented mindset, connecting to others, and savoring good times. Doctoral supervisors and mentors can use the findings to reflect on their beliefs and practices to maintain and foster their wellbeing. Universities can also benefit from the findings to effectively develop a positive culture for everyone in which wellbeing is prioritized.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
