Multiple voices in external supervision: reframing perceptions and upholding priorities
Conference Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
Field education with external supervision has at times been viewed as a less than ideal in social work education. This presentation reports on the experiences of key stakeholders in placements with external supervision. Students, task supervisors, external supervisors and liaison people were interview in a qualitative study to explore their experiences in placements with external supervision. The data of each group was initially analysed separately and the presentation presents the key points that were explored by each group of participants. Results of the data analysis highlight the complexity, opportunities and challenges of placements with external supervision. This presentation presents insights about the experiences of the various groups of participants. It discusses the different foci of each participant group and suggest that while each group seems to prioritise and foreground different aspects of the experience in their discussion, these insights about opportunities and concerns were connected. The presentation emphasises the importance of identifying the experiences of the individual groups of participants separately and discusses the angles and viewpoints that have been gained through this process of data collection and analysis.
