Professional Resources of the Practicum Supervisor : an exploratory study
Through post-observation class interviews, this exploratory study focused on the resources mobilized by the supervisors of a training course during conferences. The approach of practical argument (Fenstermacher, 1996) was used to interview a group of experienced supervisors on the basis of a recording of a post-observation class meeting with his trainee. This text highlights the prevalence of some of the resources mobilized by supervisors. We discuss these results by considering those competencies required of a training counsellor.
