'n Maatskaplike ontwikkelingsgerigte perspektief op supervisie aan maatskaplikewerkstudente by opleidingsinstansies in Suid-Afrika

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The purpose of this study is to establish a theoretical and practical framework for supervisionto social work students at training institutions that are based on the outcomes ofdevelopmental social work in South Africa, as contained in the White Paper for Welfare(1997). The motivation for this study is the contribution that it can make to the reality that theparadigm shift of the developmental perspective on supervision to students contains.This research was done based on an extensive literature study, which focused on theconceptualisation of supervision to social work students from a social developmentalperspective. The systemic nature of supervision to students was examined, after which themodels for supervision to students were analysed. The functions of supervision by means ofthe management, educational and support functions are also broadly defined.The empirical investigation of the study dealt with the current state of supervision to socialwork students at training institutions in South Africa. From the empirical investigation asocial developmental perspective was developed, which indicates that supervision to socialwork students in South Africa can be defined as a process of education, support andmanagement so as to develop students' competencies according to the outcomes of thetraining institution's field practice education programme, so that students can integrate thetheory and practice of social work. Supervision also involves interactive guidance, based oneducational needs, academic development and empowerment of students.The abovementioned perspective was evaluated by supervisors of students at tratrunginstitutions in South Africa, the majority of whom supported the perspective. From the socialdevelopmental perspective that was formulated, conclusions and recommendations were madethat can serve as a framework for supervision of social work students. The framework forsituation-relevant supervision, which is accounted for eco-systemically, is based on acompetency model and is empowering in its nature. This is the contribution that this studymakes to field practice education to social work students.
