Supervision of the Master’s thesis process was often seen to be unstructured and ineffective and characterised by a low abstraction level in the student. A wish was expressed to ensure that supervision meetings were well-structured, so as to improve the planning and feedback. Moreover, there was a wish to achieve a more scientific mindset and reflection in the students, and to develop and raise the cognitive abstract learning level, including a scientific empirical mindset.
The tools SciPlanner and Padlet were used to structure the supervision and make it more effective, thus improving the students’ possibility to document their work.
