Perception of students on the Clinical Supervision of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences

Abstract

The perception of trainees in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences about clinical supervision was investigated. Data were collected using a Likert scale instrument (0-5), completed by 44 students from the 6th and 8th periods, analyzed by non-parametric statistics. There was a higher percentage of responses to “Partially Agree” (PA) or “Totally Agree” (TA) for Perception on Supervision of Professional Practice (PSPP), Perception on Supervisor Role (PFR) and Trainee Perception of Role (TPR). In the PSPP, although TA responses predominated, 100% of the participants did not comment on “Supervision strengthens the theoretical basis and clinical reasoning”. In the PFR, in the question identification and discussion of the feelings and reactions of the trainee, 43.18% for PA, followed by 20.45% for PD. In TPR, 34.09% partially disagreed that expectation, tension and anxiety negatively influence learning, followed by 25.00% for TA. The importance of supervisor, trainee and clinical supervision was demonstrated as a teaching-learning model to acquire and improve the skills and competencies required for professional practice.
