Research supervision can utilise teaching and supervision practices to structure the research journey for master's students and achieve higher order learning. This study applied known practice to conceptualise a supervision approach to support the learning process of master's students during research supervision. The approach focused on improving supervision quality, achieving the required learning even though postgraduates have time constraints as part-time students, and enabling the supervisor to support the growing number of postgraduates. This supervision approach provides a structured approach to less experienced academics who can utilise it to implement their own practices and improve their supervision.
