Abstract

![CDATA[This paper reports on a case study of the professional growth and intellectual development of two international higher degree research (HDR) students from China who undertook research training in education at two Australian universities. They were supervised by two different native English speaking Australian supervisors. The investigation focused on the teaching/learning relationship between these international HDR students and their Australian supervisors to identify some of the features of quality supervision in HDR training for international students. The purposes of the study were to identify key academic concerns that HDR graduates have while training to become researchers and to explore what international HDR students and their supervisors see as appropriate supervision. It contributes to knowledge about quality supervision by providing research-based information about working with international HDR students and what supervisors might do to improve the quality of their research training.]]
