A questionnaire-based survey was administered to third-year undergraduate social work students attending a South African university. While most students enjoyed positive supervision experiences a small proportion felt that their supervision was inadequate. Challenges included having supervisors not placed at field instruction agencies; differences between agency supervisors’ expectations and those of the university; and poor quality supervision. Findings highlight the responsibility of universities for the screening, training and support of supervisors, and for university personnel to deal timeously with supervisor-supervisee issues.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"79 1","pages":"31-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48804947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
