Intern Performance in Three Supervisory Models
Womack, Sid T.; Hanna, Shellie L.; Callaway, Rebecca; Woodall, Peggy
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Association of Teacher Educators (Searcy, AR, Apr 22, 2011)
Differences in intern performance, as measured by a Praxis III-similar instrument were found between interns supervised in three supervisory models: Traditional triad model, cohort model, and distance supervision. Candidates in this study's particular form of distance supervision were not as effective as teachers as candidates in traditional-triad or cohort models when overall scores were analyzed. The same trend in lower performance for distance-supervised interns persisted when subscale scores on the Praxis-III similar instrument were examined. These findings prompted us to mostly discontinue distance supervision of interns, at least as distance supervision had been defined for this study.
