Scientific methods that are frequently used in Bachelor's theses, such as literature reviews, empirical work or case analyses, are compared with each other. The efficiency and effectiveness of different forms of supervision, such as group supervision, editing, individual supervision or peer groups, are also assessed.

These questions are answered by means of literature reviews and an empirical mix of qualitative and quantitative surveys and data analyses.

 

Research Goals

  • Analysis of different forms of supervision and supervision models for bachelor’s theses
  • Identification of supervision approaches that enable high-quality yet efficient supervision
  • Focus on the supervision of bachelor’s theses within the framework of a Bologna-compliant health and nursing degree program
  • Ensuring that students acquire the necessary scientific and academic competencies
