Abstract

This paper examines the collaborative reflective process between the research supervisor and the student researcher. Using a descriptive analysis approach, we found that this process can involve critically thinking through the personal or client narrative that the student may want to plan to explore in research, then acting on this plan with participants to find common community narratives, using reflective practices to develop into appropriate themes for critical discussion in the research findings. This collaborative reflective process between student and research supervisor could be called collaborative research narratives. Thus, building upon co-operative inquiry principles of collaborative and reflective critical thinking, action research cycles, and narrative inquiry, we explore the concept of enhanced community narratives through the collaborative process of supervision for enriched social research. We contribute to the literature in three ways. First by examining existing literature on research supervision and the current landscape and knowledge in the field. Second, we align reflective process as a key element of supervisor and provide evidence of research outcomes consistent with reflective processes. Third, this paper proposes collaborative research narratives as pertinent to student supervision.
