Funded Activity Summary

Influences of metacognitive beliefs on success in PhD candidature. In a knowledge-fuelled world our dependence on professionals is acute. There is an imperative to gain fundamental information about how adult learners approach and surmount obstacles to learning in complex situations. Persistence of major gaps in our knowledge about professional learning is a concern particularly in high stakes research degrees such as the PhD. Drawing on candidates from Australia and overseas this project will shed light on what until now have been the 'invisible processes' that have led to the visible results of both successful and problematic doctoral candidature. The findings will provide direction for stakeholders, impact on global debates about doctoral quality, and enhance research capacity.
