  1. DEVELOPING SCHOLARLY HABITS (DSH) - FINDINGS FROM THE 2010 PILOT PROJECT - Dr Kathryn Sutherland Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Kathryn.Sutherland@vuw.ac.nz

  2. The DSH programme • Retreat 1 in Feb 2010 • Retreat 2 in Aug/Sep 2010 (Ako-funded) • Mentoring • Buddy partnerships • Writing log • Group meetings • Workshops

  3. Data Collection & Analysis • Pre-programme questionnaires with 10 participants • Follow up questionnaire at end of trimester • At least 3 interviews with each participant • Transcripts of group meetings/interviews • Writing logs (min 4 weeks) • Descriptive analysis of questionnaire data • Thematic analysis of interview and meeting transcripts • Statistical analysis of logs

  4. Changes for the group (Scale: 1=very good to 4 = very poor)

  5. Improvements • Increase in individual agency and resourcefulness • Work-life balance improvements • Increase in relational agency • Growing awareness of body’s and mind’s needs

  6. Being on the programme gave me an incredible boost of confidence at what I suspect I will look back on as a crucial stage in my career. I just wish programmes like this were ongoing. [The retreat] has been very helpful, because I think the university environment is one where you are supposed to demonstrate ability all the time and what has been really useful here is that it’s a space where that’s not on the agenda, where you have to demonstrate that you are super dynamic; that has almost been taken out of the equation. It has been very, very useful.
