In the master's thesis theoretically I'm researching the concept of learning critical thinking in supervision. Within the research question, I am interested about the problem of the relationship between adult learning in general and their learning in supervision, with particular interest in the concept of developing the competence of critical thinking and the development of a "reflecting practitioner".
I focus on factors that motivate an individual to learn in supervision. By comparing the method, I establish the points of contact between learning in supervision and learning of critical thinking. I theoretically base the supervisor's contribution to the development of critical thinking in supervision. I describe the relationship between the concept of adult learning in general, teaching adults in supervision and learning about critical thinking without causally explanation.
I show some starting points and theoretical argument that critical thinking is one of the basic necessary competences of professionals and also developmental and educational model of supervision as an appropriate basis for developing the competence of critical thinking. I am studying the possibilities of encouraging the learning of critical thinking within the framework of the developmental-educational model of supervision. I continue to study at the level of parsing the concepts of learning in supervision and learning of critical thinking. Theoretically I study the components of the learning process in supervision by integrating the learning of critical thinking. I finish my research with the analysis of the integration about the concept of learning critical thinking in a developmental and educational model of supervision.
In this way, I try to enrich the developmental and educational model of supervision in the master's work and prove that this model of supervision is a suitable place where experts can learn about critical thinking as one of the most important cognitive activity in adulthood. Therefore, in the master's part, I prove that the ultimate goal of supervision is to be a reflective practitioner.
