ENIncreased numbers of doctoral students’ drop-out ratesand thesis, defended after the due time, shows the importance of identifying challenges the students face. Such challenges relate to the costs for universities and can have an impact on students’ personal lives and social consequences for society. The purpose of this study is to reveal peculiarities of professional identity among doctoral students in Lithuania. The Doctoral Students’ Professional Identity Questionnaire was used to measure how doctoral students perceive themselves in three professional roles: teacher, researcher and practitioner. The results revealed that the most expressed role of professional identity among doctoral students is practitioner's role, the least – teacher's professional role. The impact of practical experience is emphasized. [From the publication]
