At the present time, the pedagogical function of thesis supervision is considered substantial in training researchers. The current study had the goal to identify, according to doctoral students' perceptions, the qualities of thesis supervision that contribute to research and the qualities that hinder research. The participants were forty-one doctoral students, from various disciplinary programs in a Mexican university, who answered an online questionnaire with open-ended questions. The information obtained was analyzed through grounded theory. The results indicate that the pedagogical practice of thesis supervision is linked to the style of supervision, in which feedback, attitude, and the promotion of agency, in addition to different types of supports, are substantial in favoring doctoral progress.
