چکیده

هدف از پژوهش کیفی حاضر که با روش پدیدارشناسی انجام شد، کاوش ادراکات و تجارب دانشجویان دکتری از مسئولیت­ های استاد راهنما در نقش ارشادکننده پژوهشی بود. به­ منظور گرد­آوری اطلاعات پژوهش، مصاحبه­ های نیمه­ ساختمند با 21 دانشجوی دکتری انجام گرفت که به­ صورت هدفمند و با روش معیارمحور و استراتژی حداکثر تنوع انتخاب شدند. تحلیل مصاحبه ­ها با استفاده از روش تحلیل مضمون انجام و 38 مضمون پایه استخراج و در قالب 7 مضمون سازمان­ دهنده طبقه ­بندی شد. واکاوی ادراکات و تجارب دانشجویان دکتری حاکی از آن بود که ایفای نقش ارشادکننده پژوهشی توسط استاد راهنما از دیدگاه دانشجویان دکتری مستلزم انجام دادن مسئولیت ­های ارشادکننده پژوهشی در قالب 7 مؤلفه (مضمون سازمان­ دهنده) حمایت پژوهشی، راهنمایی علمی ـ پژوهشی، مداخلات توسعه ­ای، حمایت حرفه­ ای، حمایت ارتباطی، حمایت روان­شناختی و حمایت شخصی است. یافته­ های پژوهش حاضر می ­تواند مقدمه ­ای برای توجه و شناخت بیشتر درخصوص مسئولیت­ های ارشادگری پژوهشیِ استادان راهنمای دانشجویان دکتری و بهسازی و ضعیت موجود باشد.

چکیده [English]

The purpose of the present qualitative phenomenological research was to explore the perceptions and experiences of the doctoral students on supervisors' responsibilities in the role of research mentors. In order to collect the research information, semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-one doctoral students who were selected by using purposive sampling with maximum variation. The content analysis was used to analyze the data. Analysis of interviews was performed using the thematic analysis method and 38 basic themes were extracted and classified into 7 organizational themes. Analysis of the perceptions and experiences of doctoral students indicated that the role of research mentor by the supervisor from the perspective of doctoral students requires the fulfillment of research mentoring responsibilities in  form of 7 components (organizational theme), research support, scientific-research mentoring, development interventions, Professional support, communication support, psychological support and personal support. The findings of the present study could be an introduction to further attention and understanding of the research mentoring responsibilities of doctoral students by supervisors and the improvement of the current situation.
