South African higher education is plagued by student articulation gap, which is often attributed to insufficient knowledge production processes and surface approaches to learning. Unfortunately, supervisor-student model of supervision, one of the direct, personal interventions to address this challenge, is plagued by multiple flaws. The traditional supervisor-student model of knowledge generation may not be adequate in externalizing research processes to students. Yet, a social learning model potentially extends the traditional model by providing a social environment where students collectively generate knowledge through peer-based interactions. Mindful of supervision dilemmas namely, this study explores technology-enhanced social learning environments as complements to traditional supervision models. 2015-02-03T18:36:30Z 2015-02-03T18:36:30Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12358 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
