Opis

The Meaning of Supervision in Teacher Education: §Understanding Lived Experience presents supervision§as an educational phenomenon that is fraught with§inconsistencies, conflicts, and gaps on one hand§between supervisors intentions and what actually§transpires in the process, and the supervisee s§perceptions of the outcome. The book offers one§perspective that draws on Dilthey s theory of§understanding supervision as an antidote to the§traditional perspective that is prescriptive and§fraught with tensions between those engaged in the§process.§It offers insights grounded in hermeneutics§-phenomenological tradition, thus, a highly relevant§book for educators anywhere who are interested in§researching human/ educational phenomena through§lived experience. The text is organized so that the§reader can read across the chapters to gain insights§in the methodology, or prod additional insights in§the themes and stimulate alternative interpretations§that give meanings to the human/educational phenomena§being studied.
