Overview

Scholarly literature describes academic supervision as a relational-based task involving a student and supervisors. It is not controlled cooperation with a technical formula for it to function, but relational and requires interpersonal skills. Such collaboration in supervision resembles other human relations where partners may encounter diverse challenges. Therefore, for supervision partners (students and supervisors) to cooperate effectively, they must be willing and able to communicate and comprehend each other's needs and expectations. After that, they should create shared expectations based on the institutional and community contextual norms, conditions, and resources. Having common learning objectives can support strategizing the learning process and focus on meeting the agreed goals within the allocated time and by using the available and accessible resources. This book guides higher education stakeholders in communicating their expectations and strategizing to fulfill them for students' successful graduation. In addition, it discusses the challenges most students and supervisors encounter in supervision and how to tackle them professionally. Knowing what may happen and the hindrances in higher education learning can help students and advisors prepare to prevent and minimize the challenges. It is time to communicate what is going on in postsecondary education, especially the confusion led by the increased number and diversity of stakeholders. Besides, higher education structure and practice in many regions have become complex, leading to student attrition problems. Scholarly literature has informed different reasons for higher education student attrition, including challenges in supervision. However, major problems often occur due to failure to communicate and strategize learning based on students' needs and expectations. Therefore, it is time to learn the supervision challenges and how to overcome them. By reading this book, you demonstrate your concern about student attrition, and you can do something about it, among others, by spreading the information.
