Workshop 3: PPIS Coordinated Multi-Pronged Supervision Programme: Towards An Evidence Based Approach’

Conversations
At the end of the presentation, Ms Mosli opened the floor for questions to be raised. One
participant expressed that she was slightly confused at the feedback structure of the
supervision model proposed, in which the supervisee will be able to give feedback on their
supervisor. Ms Mosli clarified that this feedback will help to look at similar processes
between supervisor and supervisee and will help to build the relationsh ip between
supervisor and supervisee. The supervisee will also be informed and prepared to speak to
the supervisor about the feedback given. This would help to inculcate a process of bringing
feedback up to the management.
Another participant asked about the areas PPIS had to consider before adopting this
approach to supervision. Ms Mosli expressed that it was paramount that they made it an
organizational endeavor. They also had to inform the supervisors that feedback would go
both ways, where the supervisee would have the opportunity to give feedback about their
supervisors. Initially, supervisors were not keen on this as it would potentially put them in a
vulnerable position. However, with the proper channels put in place, they were eventually
more receptive to the idea.
Reflections
Ms Mosli concluded her presentation by presenting some of the collated reflections from
PPIS. She categorized the reflections into the 3 groups of supervisees – the novice,
intermediate and advanced groups – which are named GS1, GS2 and GS3 respectively.
