Relationship between Teacher's Interpersonal Supervisory Competencies and Students' Academic Performance in Hoima District Government-Aided Secondary Schools, Uganda

Teachers are the cornerstone of a vibrant and sound education system, and their competencies, work ethic, and motivation are key in guaranteeing quality learner outcomes and the realisation of the national goals of education. Application of teacher interpersonal, supervisory competencies (TISC) during instruction is deemed to significantly impact student's academic performance, but this has not been so in Hoima District Government-aided secondary schools in Uganda. This is despite continued teacher instructional supervision, various legal provisions in place and government financing. The study assessed the relationship between Teachers' interpersonal and supervisory competencies and students' academic performance, to make recommendations to improve the situation. Self-efficacy and Self-determination theories premised the study of 149 respondents using a post-positivism paradigm, mixed-methods approach, where purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used in selecting sample size. Data was collected using a questionnaire, interview schedule and document analysis. Findings indicated a positive significant Pearson correlation coefficient (r (142) = 0.712, P<0.01) and inadequate teacher practising of a number of interpersonal competencies. Recommendations were: District Administration, Head teachers, School Boards, and parents should apply multifaceted approaches towards teachers encompassing professional development workshops and training sessions to develop their interpersonal and supervisory skills, increase their awareness on various social issues, and enhance their creativity and inventiveness in the supervision of student learning. This is in addition to developing supportive policies and practices regarding teaching resources and welfare. Additionally, teachers should maintain a collaborative relationship with parents/guardians and colleagues to develop and practice supportive, integrative, individualised attention to students while promoting collaborative networks with colleagues. The study further proposes that similar studies be carried out in other Government-aided secondary schools and private ones in Uganda

An Overlooked Issue: A BriefNarrative Review Abouton Supervisor Competence and Supervisor Training

Süpervizyon terapi eğitiminde çok önemli bir yere sahiptir. Terapist olmak için öğrenciler sıkı bir şekilde yapılandırılmış teorik eğitim süreçlerinden geçtikten sonra süpervizyon altında danışan görmeye başlamaktadır. Terapistlerin yetkinliği için çok önemli bir yere sahip olan süpervizyon sürecinde, süpervizörün yetkinliği son yıllara kadar göz ardı edilmiş bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Geleneksel yaklaşımda terapistlerin belli bir süre deneyimden sonra terapiden öğrendikleri bilgi ve becerileri süpervizör olmak için adapte edebilecekleri varsayımı hakimken, alandaki süpervizörlerin yetkinlik düzeylerini ve kötü uygulama sıklıklarını raporlayan çalışmalar süpervizör olabilmek için de belirli bir eğitimin gerekli olduğuna dikkat çekmeye başlamıştır. Bu durum Amerikan Psikologlar Birliğini bu konuda harekete geçirmiş ve dernek 2014 yılında “Sağlık Hizmeti Veren Psikologlar için Klinik Süpervizyon El Kitabını” hazırlamıştır. Bu gelişme ile birlikte süpervizyonun ayrı beceriler gerektiren, terapistlikten farklı bir beceri olduğu görüşü daha geniş kitlelerce kabul görmeye başlamış ve süpervizörlük eğitimleri yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır. Bu derleme makalesinde süpervizörlüğün önemi, konunun tarihsel gelişimi, süpervizörlüğü terapistlikten ayıran özellikler, süpervizörlük eğitimine dair mevcut tartışmalar, ve süpervizör gelişim modellerine yer verilmiştir.

The more the merrier? PhD supervisors’ perspectives in engaging in co-supervision

ABSTRACT Over the past decade, co-supervision of PhD candidates has become increasingly common across the disciplines. However, co-supervision has been explored previously primarily from the candidates’ viewpoint and in small-scale qualitative studies. We have extended the research by examining co-supervisory experience from the supervisor’s perspective, and by exploring the influences of co-supervision for supervisory competencies and the occupational wellbeing with a large-scale quantitative survey. 561 supervisors participated in the study. The data were analysed with statistical methods. The results showed that having a supervisory team has become the dominant from of supervision across the disciplines. Furthermore, the frequency of engaging in co-supervision was related to supervisor’s occupational wellbeing, but the association was not straightforward. Having experience in co-supervision seemed to contribute to feeling more confident with one’s supervisory competencies. The findings imply that the development of well-functioning co-supervision practices can enhance supervisors’ competencies and occupational wellbeing alongside promoting PhD candidates’ studying.

HR managers stereotyping frontline managers

AbstractThis study explored how human resource (HR) leaders' biased perceptions of frontline manager (FLM) effectiveness influence HR ratings of FLM competencies, resulting in insufficient training and job preparation for these critical employees. The literature review examined FLM research, ratings of supervisory competencies and the underlying theoretical frameworks of implicit leadership theory and leadership categorization theory, and their relationship to informal learning. The research used mixed methods, with a qualitative critical incident study to identify competencies, followed by a quantitative survey to compare ratings, followed by qualitative in‐person interviews to confirm survey findings. Results revealed a significant difference between HR and other raters of FLMs, including the FLMs themselves, with regard to FLM effectiveness, and these differences are informed by HR stereotypes of FLMs. Recommendations and implications suggest HR's role in providing unbiased assessment could lead to essential FLM training and development.

Challenges and Coping Mechanisms in Supervision of the Instructional Leaders in the New Normal

Supervision is an important role of instructional leaders in the new normal and is a pressing global issue. The study found out what challenges and coping mechanisms instructional leaders faced in supervising in the new normal. This is a pressing global issue that is of great interest to stakeholders. This mixed research method involved 102 faculty respondents and 6 Deans of the different Bataan Peninsula State University colleges. Results showed that 26 or 25.49% of the respondents belong to the age group of 32 to 39 years old. The Deans were designated as early as 3 months to 12 years. Their supervision experiences with the teachers and students include difficulties in monitoring teachers and students and innovative methods of instruction. Data showed that the deans considered planning a program for curriculum development (Mean=3.54, SD=0.82) as very challenging. Data indicate that a significant difference is not evident in the perception of teacher-respondents on the challenges their deans met in the new normal and the deans’ coping mechanisms in resolving the challenges they met in the new normal when grouped according to the length of service. The analysis using Spearman’s rho indicates a very weak positive correlation between coping mechanisms and the challenges in planning a program for curriculum development, implementing a definite program of supervision, and providing leadership in the professional upgrading of the faculty. The p-values which are statistically lesser than the alpha of .05 indicate that there is not enough evidence to claim that the relationship is significant, thus, it fails to reject the null hypothesis. The challenges that were experienced in supervision included the Dearth of Resources, Communication, and Age barriers. Coping mechanisms that they employed include versatility and flexibility in leadership. Supervisory competencies of instructional lead include Interpersonal Skills.

This study aims to identify, analyze and describe what factors influence the competence of the Auditor and PPUPD (Supervisor of the Implementation of Local Government Affairs) at the Regional Inspectorate of Tomohon City. In this study, the authors used a qualitative approach that is descriptive in nature, namely explaining the phenomenon in depth through data collection. Based on the results of the study it was found that the competence of Auditors and PPUPD had been implemented. This can be seen from the several indicators that have been discussed, namely, the Auditors and PPUPD who carry out supervisory duties must have sufficient competence. Auditors and PPUPD before carrying out their duties always try to equip themselves with knowledge related to the implementation of the tasks they will carry out. In order to improve the competence of Auditors and PPUPD in carrying out supervisory duties, training is carried out in the office itself concerning the rules relating to the implementation of supervisory assignments. The office training itself also discussed the mechanisms for implementing supervisory assignments. To increase the competence of Auditors and PPUPD in the implementation of supervision, before carrying out supervisory duties, Auditors and PPUPD must prepare an Audit Work Program (PKA), Review Work Program (PKR) as guidelines regarding the design of work procedures systematically, also known as work steps will be implemented to achieve the goal. The Inspectorate, which is the Government's Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) as a Strategic Partner, certainly has many tasks as well as obstacles in the work that are faced within the Internal and External scope. The competence of the Auditor and PPUPD must be maximized and requires a budget that is arranged in the Budget Implementation Document (DPA) of the regional apparatus, in this case, the Inspectorate.

Using a Delphi Technique to Define Primary Care Behavioral Health Clinical Supervision Competencies.

There is an increasing need for Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) workforce development (i.e., increase in well-trained PCBH providers) given the growth of behavioral health (BH) integration into primary care, specifically at a time when behavioral health needs are increasing because of the COVID-19 pandemic (Kanzler and Ogbeide in Psychol Trauma 12(S1):S177-S179, https://doi.org/10.1037/tra0000761 , 2020). Therefore, it is imperative to provide current and future behavioral health clinical supervisors in primary care settings specific competencies, given there are no current competencies specific to clinical supervision within the PCBH Model. Using a Delphi process, the authors identified and reached expert consensus on competencies for BH clinical supervisors in primary care. A purposive sample (in: Patton, Qualitative evaluation and research methods, Sage, Newbury Park, 1990) of fifteen experts (n = 15) in PCBH clinical training and education evaluated quantitative and qualitative domains and specific competencies associated with PCBH supervision gathered during an initial in-depth qualitative interview. This was followed by two subsequent rounds of quantitative Delphi surveys to reach consensus. The response rates from our panel of experts were 100% (15/15) for all stages (interviews, round one and round two surveys). Three domains (Primary Care Knowledge, Clinical Supervisor Development, and Clinical Supervision Skills) were rated as essential for providing clinical supervision with PCBH for pre-licensure level learners. The development of competencies will further support BH clinical supervisor needs, professional development, and provide a concrete way to evaluate progress towards teaching and training excellence. This will also have a great impact on the development of the future BH workforce within primary care.

Genetic counselors' perceptions of student supervision across service delivery models.

Genetic counseling (GC) services are increasingly delivered by phone or video, resulting in more telehealth student rotations. The purpose of this study was to describe genetic counselors' utilization of telehealth for student supervision and to compare how their comfort, preferences, and perception of the difficulty of selected student supervision competencies vary between phone, video, and in-person student supervision. In 2021, patient-facing genetic counselors in North America with ≥1-year GC experience who supervised ≥3 GC students in the last 3 years received an invitation via the American Board of Genetic Counseling or the Association of GC Program Directors listservs to complete a 26-item online questionnaire. There were 132 responses eligible for analysis. Demographics were fairly consistent with the National Society of Genetic Counselors Professional Status Survey. The majority of participants used more than one service delivery model to provide GC services (93%) and supervise students (89%). Six supervisory competencies related to the student-supervisor communication (Eubanks HIggins et al., 2013) were perceived to be most difficult to accomplish by phone and easiest in-person (p < 0.0001). Participants were most comfortable in-person and least comfortable by telephone for both patient care and student supervision (p < 0.001). The majority of participants predicted continued use of telehealth for patient care but preferred in-person service delivery for both patient care (66%) and student supervision (81%). Overall, these findings indicate service delivery model changes in the field have an impact on GC education and suggest that the student-supervisor relationship may be different via telehealth. Furthermore, the stronger preference for in-person patient care and student supervision, despite predicted continued telehealth utilization, points to a need for multifaceted telehealth education initiatives.
