Moving away from mere rote compliance and more towards cultivating new knowledge, the future of research teaching and thesis advising views theses and dissertations as not just hardbound volumes to be forgotten on a library shelf but journal articles that contribute to a global conversation. The 21st century research teacher and thesis adviser understands that collaboration is the new research currency; encouraging students to build networks of peers, of consultants, of institutions towards research completion and article publication. With the recent and rapid emergence of Generative AI, research teachers and thesis mentors must be able to train and guide their students and advisees to strike a balance between human effort and machine efficiency; reminding students to use Generative AI as tool to simplify processes, not crutch to sterilize the thought. Redefining their role from gatekeepers of tradition to catalysts of innovation, how can research teachers and thesis advisers guide students toward the publication of their research outputs in reputable journals?

Aiming to equip research teachers and thesis advisers with the latest trends and best practices in research instruction and thesis supervision, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research Inc. invites you to the AI-Integrated Training-Workshop on the Trends and Best Practices in Publication-Oriented Research Teaching and Thesis Advising on February 19-21, 2026 (9:00 am -5:00 pm) at the Castle Peak Hotel, Cebu City, Philippines.
