Working out an area of the brain - as if it were a muscle - in order to improve it or get by a “mental block” sounds like an interesting concept. Do you know of any studies that have explored this?

Comment on What is a Phd? by Julia Hobson

Hi Justin
What a good question that is!

A Phd is many things to many people and that is why it can be difficult to get a handle on

First, it is a piece of paper that the university gives you to certify that you are a competent and capable independent researcher who has a high level of professional knowledge and competency in a chosen area and who can express and communicate this to other people.
Second, it is an opportunity for the candidate to spend quality time exploring learning and discovering in an area that they are passionate about.
Third it is an opportunity to build a set of useful transferable skills in technology and communication and research design to use in the next phase of a career.

To gain the first objective ( the piece of paper) it is always useful to look at other phd’s in your discipline area and see what they look like, how are they constructed, what is covered, what sort of methodology and research design was employed, how was this presented in the document etc. This gives the process of learning (of both disciplinary knowledge and transferable skills that you are engaged in) a more concrete and specific context , that is the production of a document.
Hope this helps
Regards
Julia
PS do you mind if I post the question and my answer onto the website for postgrads so others who are also wondering can see?

I have just ocmpleted my first EDU600 assignment and found the process covered in the writing sessions very helpful in clarifying my thinking for this task. The explanation of the progression from annotated bibliography to literature review has been particularly helpful, as has the recommendation to move the reference towards the end of the paragraph so that it becomes more “theme dominant” rather than “author dominant”. A question (possibly a dumb one) has just occurred to me in writing this - does the “author dominant” structure sit more with annotated bibliography and the “theme dominant” approach better fit the lit review?
