Abstract: (246 Views)
- Doctoral education in Uzbekistan, a two-tier system consisting of PhD and DSc (Doctor of Science) programs, relies on self-directed learning and a single supervisor program with limited support and guidance from higher education institutions in issues directly related to research and needs significant structural reforms.
- A study based on a questionnaire conducted among 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year PhD students of Uzbekistan in the field of Humanities reveals the necessity of structural doctoral education in Uzbekistan with mandatory and elective courses that will guide PhD students in their research work and equip with theoretical knowledge and practical implementation.
- Lack of necessary mandatory and elective courses for PhD students which would equip them with certain knowledge and skills in writing their dissertation reflects in low quality of dissertations and sometimes even in not being able to complete the dissertation.
