The Role Of Scientific Leadership In Blended Learning In Postgraduate Education

Abstract

Currently, the issues of updating the model of training scientific and pedagogical personnel in post-graduate school are regularly raised. This is due to the fact that the development of science and the self-reproduction of scientific personnel in post-graduate school are important conditions for maintaining the country's competitiveness. An important condition for the successful work of a post-graduate student on a dissertation is scientific leadership. Considering the change in the status of Russian post-graduate studies in recent years, the decrease in the statistics of successful defenses makes it necessary to identify the motivation of post-graduate students to study, which should be taken into account when organizing training for highly qualified personnel. The emergence and widespread introduction of distance educational technologies leaves an imprint on the interaction of a postgraduate student with a scientific advisor. This study is aimed at exploring the change in the phenomenon of scientific leadership of a post-graduate student during the transition from traditional face-to-face format to online education. The purpose of the article is to conduct an empirical study of the satisfaction of post-graduate students with scientific leadership and identify expectations from interaction with a scientific advisor in an online format. The article reveals the issues of motivating post-graduate students to study in post-graduate school and their expectations from the supervisor when working in person and online. The authors reveal similar and distinctive features, the most important for post-graduate students in the implementation of scientific leadership.
