To meet accreditation expectations, teacher preparation programs must demonstrate their candidates are evaluated using summative assessment tools that yield sound, reliable, and valid data. These tools are primarily used by the clinical experience team -- university supervisors and mentor teachers. Institutional beliefs regarding best practices…

Much of the supervision literature revolves around the delicate balance between directive supervision and student independence. Yet there remains a paucity of empirical research about the balancing act. This is the first study based on survey data to undertake a large-scale empirical analysis of the assumed relation between doctoral supervisor…

Research supervision can utilise teaching and supervision practices to structure the research journey for master's students and achieve higher order learning. This study applied known practice to conceptualise a supervision approach to support the learning process of master's students during research supervision. The approach focused on improving…

Co-supervision of doctoral theses is on the rise worldwide, but we know little of the relational dynamics of the co-supervisory team and doctoral student. These teams often must work together for several years, during which supervisors may come and go. We interviewed 19 doctoral students about their experiences of co-supervision and found a…

Effective leadership is deemed important because of the impact leaders have on employees, which affects organizational outcomes. How leaders are deemed effective is connected to the implicit leadership theories held by employees, which informs the expectations employees have of their leaders. A gap was identified in the literature regarding…

The provision of support has always been central to the role of the undergraduate dissertation (UD) supervisor, but little research has been done on its contextual determinants in web-facilitated contexts. Beyond the general recognition of the importance of institutional support for the development of supervisors' technological and pedagogical…

Clinical supervision of trainees in the field of psychology is a crucial and required component of the training process. Yet, despite its ubiquity within the field, research on the factors that contribute to positive and negative supervisory experiences from the perspective of the trainee is relatively sparse. This is particularly true in terms of…

This multiple site case study explored staffing in student affairs divisions and the experiences of practitioners. This research study used Creamer and Winston's (2002) Integrated Model of Staffing Practices to structure the case study and analyze the data. A systematic approach to staffing is necessary to provide student affairs staff the…

Supervisory relationship is a highly significant driver of doctoral experience. However, empirical studies exploring the alignment between supervisors' and supervisees' perceptions of good doctoral supervision is lacking. A total of 768 doctoral candidates and 561 doctoral supervisors from a multi-field research-intensive university participated…

This paper performs a critical qualitative inquiry exploring supervision pedagogies utilising duoethnography as both methodology and conceptual framing. We begin the inquiry by reflecting upon our social and cultural identities and our evolving supervisor/supervisee-colleague-friend relationship. Our critical dialogue then shifts to scrutinising…

Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to explore the simultaneous supervision experiences of counselors-in-training. Simultaneous supervision is when a supervisee receives clinical supervision from multiple supervisors. Sometimes this supervision includes a university supervisor and a site supervisor. Other times this supervision…

In the United Kingdom (U.K.), all students who are studying for a Bachelor of Arts degree need to complete a piece of independent research in order to gain their "honours" (U.S. "honors") status. As a university faculty we have very specific ideas about the purpose of this research and the positive impact that we hope that it…

Doctoral study remains the most popular form of research degree globally. The student and supervisor relationship is an integral part of the postgraduate researcher (PGR) experience. Supervisory relationships can be complex and multi-faceted, with differing expectations from both supervisor and PGR. However, comparing different perspectives of the…

This qualitative inquiry examined the supervisory practices of 12 student-affairs professionals who were identified by their supervisees as modeling the tenets of inclusive supervision. Through a deductive research design and pattern-matching analysis, this study sought to test the consistency of the inclusive supervision model through the…

There is limited information on the lived experiences of stress mitigation in clinical supervision for master's-level interns in Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)-accredited counseling programs. There is a need for insight into how policy and supervision practices in counselor education programs can…
