This workshop, held on February 5, 2013, in Cape Coast, Ghana, focuses on enhancing PhD supervision by utilizing Competency Objectives to achieve effective Instructional Learning Outcomes (ILOs). Participants engage in a structured planning process to define clear learning outcomes for PhD supervisors, transforming ILOs into observable behaviors and acceptable standards of competence. Through collaborative discussions and peer reviews, we aim to create impactful supervisory practices that will foster academic excellence and support the professional development of graduate students.

Planning an activity/course to build stronger PhD supervision: Using Competency Objectives to Achieve Instructional Learning Outcomes Cape Coast, Ghana February 5, 2013
Using Competency Objectives to Achieve Instructional Learning Outcomes:How will we really know when we have taught supervisors something or they have really learned something?
Following Jen’s ‘Starting from the back’ model: • meet with your planning group • decide on three Instructional Learning Outcomes for PhD supervisors after an activity or course at your university • write the three on paper 10min
Share a few Instructional Learning Objectives (ILOs) In what ways will these be useful in planning your supervising activities/course? 10 min
Share a few Instructional Learning Objectives (ILOs) In what ways will these be useful in planning your supervising activities/course? How could they be configured in a more useful format? 10 min
Tranforming ILOs into a useful format… Examine one example 1 min
Observable Behaviors transform ILO’s by telling what a supervisor will be able to DO after the activity or course. Which of the following are observable? 2 min Is interested in/gives examples of/describes/is aware of/understands/states what she would do if…/compares/feels the need for/

Conditions also transform ILO’s by telling if any special limitations, freedoms or circumstances will affect the behavior. In our continuing example… Here are some examples… 3 min In writing/during the first supervisory meeting/via e-mail/ In your feedback/using the Internet
Continue the transformation of one of your ILOs now adding a reasonable Condition A few of your examples… 5 min In writing/during the first supervisory meeting/via e-mail/ In your feedback/using the Internet
Acceptable Standards complete the transformation of ILO’s by telling the level of competence needed for the desired learning outcome. In our continuing example… Here are some examples… 3 min Within three months of the due date/with at least 30% positive comments/that raises self-efficacy/in Pastoral style/
Complete the transformation of one of your ILOs now adding a reasonable Acceptable Standard A few of your examples… 5 min
Finally, transform all three of your ILOs into Competency Objectives with: Observable Behaviors Conditions Acceptable Standards Share examples for peer review with another group for feedback… 10 min
