Abstract

Research supervision is an academic activity that are planned and executed to enhance learning and maximize learning experience in the first-degree level of Institute of Teacher Education (ITE) Malaysia. The study aims to identify and rank the elements in Supervision Process construct for The Synergistic PsychoSocial Model (SyPSM) based on expert consensus. The expert consists of 15 experts from all ITEs, and possess variety of expertise in research supervision for first degree level. In addition, the chosen expert equipped with 10 years of experience in their respective fields. The study utilizes Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) technique to analyse the data. The findings indicate that all 13 elements in Supervision Practice construct were accepted. These elements were accepted since the threshold (d) value is less than 0.2, the Fuzzy A score is > 0.5 and percentage of expert group consensus is more than 75%. In conclusion, the research has successfully identified elements for supervision process construct based on FDM analysis and “Ensure that the report on analysis result is the real result from conducted research” element is the priority to produce main framework of elements in developing The Synergistic Psycho-Social Model (SyPSM).
