Lost (twice) in familiar territory. Reflecting on the supervision in social work practice education across (multiple) boundaries
Francesca Falcone
This paper examines, as an autoethnographic study and through the lens of self-reflection, the author’s experience of being an external practice teacher in an international environment and context. It describes some of the complex challenges the author have faced in the supervisory relationship with an (inter)national student engaged in practice-based education. The learning from the case will be used to draw some general conclusions and their implications for social work education, in general, and the operationalisation and the practice of reflective approaches, in particular.
