Attitudes and Satisfaction with a Hybrid Model of Counseling Supervision

The authors investigated the relationship between type of group supervision (hybrid model vs. face-to-face) and attitudes toward technology, toward use of technology in professional practice, and toward quality of supervision among a sample of school counseling interns. Participants (N = 76) experienced one of two types of internship supervision: a hybrid model (N= 41) or face-to-face (N= 35). Data analyses indicated that the hybrid model of group supervision was positively related to attitudes toward technology in counselor education, future professional practice, and the overall supervisory experience. Further, differences between the approaches in delivery of supervision showed no effect on perceptions of quality of supervision. Implications for extending the use of technology-mediated supervision to practicing professionals are presented.
