Off-Campus Supervision Self-Evaluation

Abstract

Fifteen Supervisors of speech-language pathology and audiology in public schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and private practice rated their supervisory behaviors on a forty-two item scale. The fifteen graduate students they supervised completed the same scale, and the ratings were compared. Results indicated that seven supervisors rated themselves higher than did their students on a significant number of items, while four supervisors rated themselves lower on a significant number of items. A comparison of mean supervisor and student ratings on individual items indicated that supervisors rated themselves higher than students did on significantly more items.
