“…Another important finding was that regarding the challenges experienced by undergraduate students related to their supervisor or thesis supervision (Ädel et al, 2023;Gezahegn & Gedamu, 2023;Magnusson & Zackariasson, 2019;Zhang & Hyland, 2022).

Abstract. This study aimed to investigate the challenges and strategies faced by undergraduate students in Islamic Higher Education when writing theses. The study had four participants, two of whom completed their degrees on time (SGO) and two who failed to do so (SGN). Despite both groups facing challenges and employing strategies, they had some differences in their experiences. Common issues faced by both groups were difficulty generating ideas, selecting a topic, feeling confused and anxious, and procrastination due to various reasons. SGN students faced additional problems such as laziness, unexpected events, and issues with supervisors. The study also found that family support and spiritual practices like prayers and invocations helped students complete their theses. The support and encouragement from their parents served as a significant boost to the students' motivation in finishing the thesis. The study highlights the importance of surrendering to Allah's plan and trusting His wisdom, as well as maintaining a positive outlook and seeking support from family and spirituality. Overall, the study uncovered various problems faced by undergraduate students and the strategies they used to deal with them, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and relying on Allah's guidance.Keywords: Thesis Writing, Challenges, Strategies, Islamic Higher Education, Narrative Inquiry

“…The undergraduate thesis represents a crucial stage in students' academic journey, and the emotional toll of this process cannot be ignored (Rødnes et al, 2021;Wong, 2016). As such, exploring how supervisors and students navigate discussions about the thesis in a manner that acknowledges and supports students' wellbeing is essential for fostering a positive learning environment (Ädel et al, 2023;Brew & Mantai, 2017;Razali et al, 2020). Understanding the potential impact of emotional stressors on the quality of academic output and the overall learning experience is crucial for developing effective strategies that promote both academic excellence and student wellbeing.…”

Research supervision is a collaborative and interactive process that plays a significant role in shaping the successful outcome of a student's learning in higher education. Crucial, but often neglected, we believe that the role of students’ wellbeing during dialogic and sociocultural interaction such as communication styles and expectations during thesis supervision raises issues concerning best practice in students' success. This qualitative interview study investigated thirteen student-teachers’ wellbeing at one private and one public English school in an additional language university context. Drawing on Seligman's positive psychology and Longo’s wellbeing thematic coding analysis, we reported how professional dialogue from dialogic and sociocultural perspectives in the supervisory interaction shape student-teachers’ five wellbeing dimensions: positive emotion, positive relationship, engagement, meaning and accomplishment. Micro elements of wellbeing were identified and analysed inductively. The findings illuminated how institutional and environmental cultures intricately shape students' wellbeing, highlighting that wellbeing is not only constructed through supervisory advice but also dynamically challenged and nurtured through ongoing dialogic interactions among students. The policy and practical implications arising from this research were discussed.
