Assessment
Unaided Work:
Independently strengthens lecture material by systematically reading the indicated sources. Leads individual training in 3-way simulation games using the Reflective circle model. Carries out a written case-by-case analysis of supervision, where the postgraduate student has been a supervisor (the supervised and presented supervision is coordinated with the supervisor) according to the given criteria, and presents the results. Fills in a professional growth diary.
Assessment Criteria:
To analyse in writing one case of individual training supervision, where the master student has been a supervisor according to the given criteria and present the results. Written diary of professional growth. Requirements for case study supervision case analysis. To analyse in writing one of the training supervisors from the group of three, where the master student has been a supervisor (the supervised and presented supervision is coordinated with the supervisor) according to the plan: 1) Initial purpose/question of supervision 2) The central issue of supervision 3) Which focal point corresponds to the purpose and/or question of the supervision (justify what it is) 4) Short description of the supervision process (main milestones) 5) Analyse whether the focal point(s) has(ve) been selected appropriately for supervision 6) Is there and what is my counterpart transponder as a supervisor 7) Analyse whether the goal of supervision was achieved/ answered the question of the supervision (to justify why it was/ was not achieved) 8) What is the (real) result of supervision 9) Supervision function(s) implemented in supervision (to substantiate what demonstrates it)

Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		By analysing the training supervisions, student theoretically explains the functions of individual supervision, the prerequisites of the individual supervision process and the forming factors, the need for different focus points of the supervision in different professional environments. Characterises and describes the use of reflective circle model and psychodynamic concepts in individual supervision, possibilities of supervision planning and evaluation of results.
Skills:		In individual training supervisions conducted in the form of a simulation game the student uses the model of the reflective circle and the corresponding interventions. In case studies the student identifies the functions of supervision, its focus points, and assesses the dynamics and results of process of the supervision. The student forms documentation that is related to process and result summarisation of the training supervision.
Competencies:		Student performs analysis of case studies of individual supervision processes, organises and manages training supervisions in the form of simulation games, according to the needs of supervised persons described in case analysis and specifics of professional environment. When conducting training supervision, the basic principles of professional and general ethics are observed. During the training supervision and when analysing the training supervision, student recognises their professional limitations and opportunities. Makes a diary of professional growth.
