The study aimed to identify the reality of managing scientific and research activities for graduate students and the challenges faces in the College of Education at Sultan Qaboos University from the perspective of students and supervisors. The study dealt with five fields: "scientific research", "scientific activities and events", "support and technical support", "financial support", and "research supervision of scientific thesis". The study followed the mixed approach; Two study tools were designed that included A questionnaire was used to collect data from the study sample consisting of master's and doctoral students in the college, and 156 male and female students participated, as well as conducting an interview with the study sample consisting of faculty members who are supervising master's and doctoral thesis, and 7 seven members from different departments of the college participated.
The results of the study revealed, according to the sample members? estimates, about the reality of managing scientific & research activities at an average level, with an arithmetic mean of 2.81 and a standard deviation of 0.62, and the order of the fields of study from highest to lowest was as follows: ?research supervision of scientific thesis,? ?support and technical support,? Scientific research?, ?scientific activities and events?, and ?financial support?, as the results of the study revealed that there is no research map in all departments of the college, and students? demand for joining research groups is little or less than the hoped-for level, and that there is no official mechanism from the college for students to publish scientifically, and there is many opportunities are provided for students to participate in conferences and scientific meetings, and they have greater opportunities in organizing conferences held by the college. The results also indicated the weakness of the authorship movement and translation as an activity carried out by graduate students, and indicated that there is academic support provided in the form of workshops for students, and the college interested in listening to students? opinions and problems through student communication committees, and the results indicated that there is no clear mechanism for connecting students to each other. there is no organizing for providing scientific advice and arbitration services and its done within individual cooperation and self-efforts for supervisors, and lack of students? knowledge of skills to benefit from the available resources, And that the number of scholarships offered to postgraduate students is appropriate compared to the number of students enrolled in the master?s program as a whole, And that there is a shortage in the number of scholarships offered to doctoral students, and that the mechanisms for appointing supervisors for thesis differ from one department to another.
