Translator disclaimer

Supervision is a key aspect of learning/teaching; the authors discuss educational perspectives and the place of supervision in training and continuing professional development. The nature of supervision as a significant experiential learning process for both parties is explored and diagrammed. Some differing approaches are considered as part of a metaperspective that includes the various functions of supervision. A cocreative viewpoint and methodology are presented together with several new models that conceptualize the process and practice of supervision as an example of mutual experiential learning. As well as providing models for supervision in the educational and organizational fields, the authors argue that all supervision is primarily educational.
