Using co-creation to facilitate PhD supervisory relationships

ABSTRACT The supervisory relationship is widely understood as central to the experience, success and wellbeing of PhD students. However, complex issues and struggles are frequently reported as associated with it. Although an extensive literature recommends useful, practical changes to improve supervisory relationships, current approaches generally focus on ameliorating difficulties within existing supervisory paradigms, rather than challenging or offering fresh perspectives on them. The co-creative approach has been successful in higher education, mostly at undergraduate level and in small-scale settings, providing opportunities for collaborative exploration of issues and development of solutions. Building on this, we explore the use of co-creation within the post-graduate research setting, bringing together stakeholders to unpack and address common issues experienced within the supervisory relationship. In order to assess the value of co-creation in tackling supervisory issues, we conducted a three-staged study involving PhD students and supervisors. Through qualitative and quantitative data (interviews and surveys), we identified specific issues linked to the supervisory experience. We subsequently hosted small- and large-scale co-creative workshops to encourage PhD students and supervisors to collaborate for addressing these identified issues. As a result, this paper argues that co-creation is an effective tool for enhancing the supervisory relationship and for co-solving problems associated with it. In addition, we present qualitative evidence supporting our novel use of the methodology and of the process of co-creation itself in addressing key identified issues within the supervisory relationship including isolation, a desire for community and improving communication skills.

Best Practices in Multicultural Supervision in Counseling

<p>The latest U.S. Census Bureau listed an increase in ethnic and racial diversity in the United States. Contributing to this are the growing statistics of refugees and immigrants whose intrapersonal experiences vary from the mainstream culture. Considering this growth, it is vital that counseling supervisors are aware of various cultures, ethnicity, social, and spiritual experiences of supervisees in training in order to provide ethical and competent supervision. This paper discusses supervisory issues, directions and trends, social justice issues, and the use of technology in multicultural supervision.</p>

Implementation Policy of Supervision of Employee Task Office of Cipocok Jaya Districts, Serang City, Banten Province

One of the important management functions in government is supervision. However, supervisory issues are complex and complex, not as easy as what is being applied when applied, including its application in government agencies. Related to this, this study aims to find out the implementation of supervisory policy implementation of employee duties as well as identifying the supporting factors and obstacles in the District Office Cipocok Jaya Serang City. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive method, with the informant is an employee in the district office environment. Data collection techniques used are interview techniques, and the instrument is in the form of interview guidelines. The data analysis technique is an inductive data analysis. The results of the field findings indicate that in the early stages of preparing the progress report lacking with the search for new data, most of the contents of the progress report have not really met the criteria or have the proper value, supervision for the work phenomenon is less followed up by the leadership, daily reporting, weekly, and the quarterly execution of the duties of employees is rarely implemented, evaluations conducted by the leadership so far prioritize the achievement of the number or target set (quantity standard), and the measurement of the quality of the work of the employee is only based on estimation only. Thus, the implementation of the policy of supervising the implementation of the duties of employees at the Cipocok Jaya District Office has been poor.

The relational matrix model of supervision: context, framing and inter-connection

Abstract: This article proposes a matrix model applicable to a wide range of supervisory relationships and settings; therapeutic and organisational. The emphasis is upon a ‘relational’ approach, where the term ‘relational’ is used to refer to two key interrelated concepts. First, supervisory issues arise as a direct product of situations. Second, the quality of the supervisory relationship is therefore preconfigured by, and in itself preconfigures, the content, process and output of the session/meeting. For these reasons we see the context of supervision as being of fundamental importance in framing both the ‘what and how’ of the supervision session. This article describes these proposals and the relational matrix model in more detail and discusses some implications for supervision that arise. Keywords: supervision, relational, relational matrix model, situation, other, self.

Islamic Finance Service Industry and Contemporary Challenges: A Literature Outlook (1987-2016)

Embryonic Islamic banking industry has documented marvellous growth worldwide since inception; stimulated sound rooted western banking to inculcate and include Shariah driven lucrative products and services as an integral part of corporate segment. Research to date has revealed its unique features and ethos, yet it has to overcome multifarious global impediments. The focus of this study is to encapsulate the enormous challenges Islamic finance service industry has encountered during last three decades. We find the arguments such as complex regulatory and supervisory issues; absence of uniform reporting standards; prudential challenges; misconception among western society pertaining to Islamic banking; scant financial instruments and concurrent money and capital markets; fierce compaction by western banking; lack of consensus among Shariah Scholars; and central governing body that are precarious challenges among others. Therefore, policy makers need to constitute an integrated central regulatory body to congregate speckled Islamic banking practices and to foster the underlying philosophy of Sharia compliance operation along with synchronized and unified standardized worldwide.

The Dialogue between the Chairman of the Board and Investors: The Practice in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany and the Future of the German Corporate Governance Code Under the New Chairman

The dialogue of the board and its chairman with investors is an established practice in many countries, such as the United Kingdom, the USA, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and recently also Germany. In the UK this dialogue covers the whole range of relevant board topics, certainly including good corporate governance aspects such as the composition of the board and the remuneration of the directors as well as good corporate culture and ethics in the corporation. In Germany this dialogue may also take place between the chairman of the supervisory board and institutional investors; this is firmly established in the practice of most of the DAX-30-corporations, and some other corporations follow the trend. This practice is taken up by many codes of good corporate governance, for example in the UK Corporate Governance Code 2014 and the UK Stewardship Code 2012 as well as in the Corporate Governance Codes of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the USA and since 2017 also in the German Code. The investor dialogue involving the chairman of the board, both in the one-tier and the two-tier systems, is legal and legitimate, but it has three main limits: insider trading and market abuse, company secrets, and equal treatment of the shareholders. The latter limit creates practical problems which are met by the various codes in different ways. While the competence for investor relations is primarily with the CEO viz. the chairman of the management board, the chairman of the (supervisory) board should also be available – within reasonable limits – to discuss supervisory board-related issues with investors. This has been rightly suggested by the German Corporate Governance Code, though it has met with certain doctrinal concerns. In many countries this dialogue is not restricted to the chairman of the board but extends to other board committe chairmen, to the senior independent directors and sometimes to all directors. It can be expected that the chairman of the board’s dialogue with investors will sooner or later not only become a general practice, but that it will also be considered to represent good corporate governance.

The Value Relevance Variation of Capital Stocks and Earnings Quality: Potential of Banking Analogy.

Banks regulations manage to enhance understanding of key supervisory issues, and improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide. Financial crisis over the past decades had built challenges to the banks and regulators, where they need to optimally manage the risks of credit, market and operations. The earnings quality of the banks are considered a significant variable to follow and analyze to present how far this earnings quality is changing as to be improved, and to protect banks against any risk management failure and loss. This paper examines the association between the banks’ earnings quality and the value relevance variation of banks capital stocks at a time period for a purposive sample of number of international banks, in order to show what is expected in the future for the banks regulations and earnings quality, based on what is currently analyzed in the banking industry. Measuring earnings quality for the purpose of analysis in this paper requires the measure of the changes in earnings quality variables, as an indication for the association between banks' earnings quality and the value relevance variation of capital stocks in the banking sector. This paper answers a main question of: Is the international banking sector currently efficient enough to warrant high earnings quality, and consequently affects the value relevance variation of capital stocks in banks? This is significantly helpful to measure the proper improvements in the economies and the anticipations for the future protection for the banks financial position and operations and their markets. For the current stage of this paper, regression analysis is optimal to apply for the analysis and interpretations by building a model that is proper to examining the value relevance variation of capital stocks in relation to earnings quality. I find that the change in non-interest income, and the change in the weight assigned to operational risk are positively associated with the value relevance variation of capital stocks in banks, and the estimation of fair value for liabilities is negatively associated with the value relevance variation of capital stock at a significance level of 0.10, this represent the significance of the three variables to be considered in banks for future sustainability and profitability, whereas the statistical inference shows for this regression model a high explanatory power to predict this significant association. This paper has a major limitation in respect to the size of the sample of banks used in the regression model, but has an optimistic vision about what the analysis will represent for the current and the future stages of banking analogy in this regard for the purpose of sustaining future protection in the banking sectors and the future economies for future generations. Thus, future research can find a useful trend to generalize the findings by expanding more empirical methodologies.

Traversing distance and proximity: the integration of psychodrama and dance movement therapy techniques in supervision

This article explores the potential for intermodal methods in person-centred supervision, focusing on the application of techniques from dance movement therapy (DMT) and psychodrama. The article proposes how specific structures combining psychodrama and DMT allow the supervisee to negotiate between proximity and distance, offering ways to hone in, step out or create alternative perspectives. Somatic congruence is introduced as a person-centred principle that enables the supervisor to understand and/or share somatic reactions in response to the supervisee’s material or the supervisor’s own personal process. Embodying roles and projective techniques are illustrated in the article through examples from the author’s supervisory DMT practice, demonstrating how these interventions may help symbolically crystallise supervisory issues. Caveats to these interventions and cautions to practitioners are presented, contributing to critical analyses of cross-disciplinary work. The article presents a constructive view towards future research and professional development on intermodal, creative supervisory practice.

Contemporary Challenges Confronting Islamic Banking & Finance

The philosophy of Islamic economics is “brining economics in consonance with Shariah”, guiding Islamic banking and finance to abolish interest from operations, has reported a monumental growth, envisaged the most lucrative and unsusceptible segment of the economy. Islamic finance is undoubtedly flourishing worldwide entails trajectory development but at other front it encounters a number of impediments in development since its inception. The emphasis of this study is to encapsulate in tabular form, the contemporary problems and challenges Islamic finance has encountered during the span of last 28-years from 1988 to 2015. The austere Shariah compliance; regulatory and prudential challenges; misconception among western society about Islamic banking philosophy; unavailability of money and capital market for scant Islamic financial instruments; piercing competition; privation of Islamic banking and finance awareness; absence of uniform reporting standards; complexities of regulatory and supervisory issues; lack of central supervisory body, governance and dearth of consensus among Shariah scholars been the precarious challenges among many others. A unified central regulatory and supervisory mechanism required in converging sprinkled Islamic finance practices and to foster a synchronized and standardized regulatory framework consensus need to be developed among all Shariah scholars

Using Self-Study to Develop a Third Space for Collaborative Supervision of Master's Projects in Teacher Education

Teacher education is constantly being renewed in response to continuous social, economic and technological changes. In 2008, teacher education in Iceland was extended from a three-year to a five-year master's degree program and this significantly increased the number of students at the master's level. To respond to these changes, 3 university-based teacher educators organized collaborative supervisory meetings for 18 master's students during the school years 2012–2014. We used self-study methodology to analyze our progress and inspire our development as supervisors. The goal was to gain a better understanding of how we learn together in collaborative supervision and to develop, adapt, and change our teaching and learning practices. Data included reflective notes and journals, recordings of students' and supervisors' meetings, e-mails, tickets out of class, and material from Moodle. Constant analysis of data was conducted with personal reflection and collective discussion, using theories to scrutinize data. Our findings show that, by working together on supervisory issues, we expanded our resources, strengthened our collaboration and trust, developed our professional identities, and improved our collective supervisory efficacy. We discovered that self-study provided an in-between space for us to explore cultures, roles, and visions as we collaboratively contested, defined and recreated our roles as supervisors.

Islamic Finance: Opportunities, Challenges, and Policy Options

The SDN discusses the main policy issues and challenges in building an inclusive and safe Islamic finance industry, with emphasis on Islamic banking and Sukuk markets. To this end, it discuses why Islamic finance matters, taking into account its recent and prospective growth; and, its potential contributions in terms of financial inclusion, support for small- and medium-sized enterprises and investment in public infrastructure and, in principle, reduced systemic risk. It then covers a range of regulatory and other challenges, and offers policy advice, to address factors that hamper the development of the industry and, more generally, the delivery of its potential benefits. The paper covers regulatory and supervisory issues, safety nets and resolution frameworks, access to finance, Sukuk markets, and macroeconomic policies.

What trainee sport psychologists want to learn in supervision

ObjectiveSupervised experience is a crucial element in the education of trainee sport psychologists (TSPs). Insight into the issues that are raised in supervision is relevant for the development of educational programs. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into supervisory issues of TSPs. DesignA mixed methods design was employed. Method369 supervision questions from fourteen TSPs were collected from written supervisory reports. The supervision questions were initially rated on the supervisory issues described by Loganbill, Hardy, and Delworth (1982) and Rabinowitz, Heppner, and Roehlke (1986). Inter-rater agreement and occurrence of issues were calculated. An alternative model for supervision questions of TSPs was developed through inductive and deductive analyses. ResultsFor most of the supervisory issues described by Loganbill et al. (1982) and Rabinowitz et al. (1986) the inter-rater agreement and occurrence was low. An alternative model was developed consisting of two higher-order categories (‘Know-how’ and ‘Professional development’), six lower-order categories (‘Intake’, ‘Treatment plan’, ‘Execution’, ‘Reflections’, ’Working principles’ and ‘Coping with dilemmas’) and 19 separate themes. ConclusionsThe supervisory issues proposed by Loganbill et al. (1982) and Rabinowitz et al. (1986) do not fully capture the learning needs for supervision as formulated by the TSPs studied. Our alternative model provides an overview of supervision questions of TSPs. The developed model may contribute to the quality of trainees' learning in supervision by helping both trainees and supervisors prepare for supervision, and by helping sport psychology educators to offer efficacious curricula and learning experiences.

Meddling in Money Market Funds

This paper questions why twelve Federal Reserve Bank presidents have interposed themselves in a rulemaking by the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning money market funds. The Reserve Banks have no jurisdiction over money market funds, no collective expertise in their operations, and no experience regulating them. The Reserve Banks have done seemingly little to advance the outstanding agenda of bank regulatory reforms mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act to address the causes of the 2008 financial crisis. It thus is curious why they have made money market funds a cause celebre when so many critical areas of banking supervision require their attention. Equally curious is why they have advocated changes in MMFs that are greatly at odds with informed views of investors, industry experts, and academic economists. This paper examines the substance of the Reserve Bank's recent letter to the SEC and concludes that it reflects a flawed view of the causes of financial crisis and current threats to financial stability. This paper also suggests that the Reserve Bank presidents may have ulterior motives unrelated to legitimate financial stability concerns. Among other things, they may be seeking to invent a new role for themselves as their relevance in the financial system declines when they should instead be focusing their joint advocacy efforts on bank compliance and supervisory issues.

The Role of Consultation Calls for Clinic Supervisors in Supporting Large-Scale Dissemination of Evidence-Based Treatments for Children

This study explores the content of consultation provided to clinic supervisors within the context of a statewide training program in an evidence-based practice. Minute-to-minute live coding of consultation calls with clinic supervisors was conducted in order to identify the content and distribution of call topics. Results indicated that approximately half of the total speaking time was spent on a range of clinically relevant topics (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, fidelity to the treatment protocols). The remaining time was spent on program administration and CBT-related supervisory issues. This pilot study has broad implications for structuring the content of consultation process in large-scale dissemination efforts involving multiple portions of the clinical workforce.

Obstacles to Implementation of Basel Norms in Argentina

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision provides a forum for regular cooperation on banking supervisory matters. Its objective is to enhance understanding of key supervisory issues and improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide. It seeks to do so by exchanging information on national supervisory issues, approaches and techniques, with a view to promoting common understanding. At times, the Committee uses this common understanding to develop guidelines and supervisory standards in areas where they are considered desirable. In this regard, the Committee is best known for its international standards on capital adequacy; the Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision; and the Concordat on cross-border banking supervision.
