The Intended Way of Learning in Supervision Seen as a Model

Student supervision as educational method in faculties of social work. A study in seven European countries

“…The "Dutch model", also known as the "integrated supervision model" ( Van Kessel & Haan, 1993;Siegers, 2002;Van Kessel, 2007) is discussed in the case study of Zuyd University ( Van Hees & Geiβler-Piltz, 2010) as the leading supervision model in the Netherlands. This concept focuses attention specifically on the personal aspect in the professional development.…”

A model for dealing with parallel processes in supervision

“…This is an interactive process at two levels: the process that happens inside the supervisor which may be observed from the meta-level, and the process which the supervisor observes going on between herself and the supervisee in the supervision group. This process is similar to the one used by Van Kessel and Haan (1993) -the way of knowing, the way of choosing and the way of acting. They write that the supervisee passes through these three stages in the learning process.…”

“…Personal values and attitudes should be focused in supervision (Cajvert, 1998); this means focusing on the supervisee in his/her present concrete case work. Van Kessel and Haan (1993) write that the key to learning in supervision is to reflect on one's own experiences during the performance of professional tasks. Supervision is considered to be an ongoing process and an investment in oneself and, as such, a form of life-long learning for professionals (Žorga, 2002).…”

“…Van Kessel and Haan (1993) claim that the process of creative integration requires more time and space for investigation of one's own style and potential. To facilitate, the supervisor may prompt through questions such as: "How will you proceed in the particular situation?…”

Patterns of Field Learning Activities and Their Relation to Learning Outcome

“…In addition, generalization is identified as an important activity to link students' understanding to practice situations. Through generalization, students can review their experience, problems, and tasks; discover what is essential; and extend their learning to other cases and situations (Kessel & Hann, 1993). Another important linkage activity is students' selfassessment of their practice.…”
