This study aimed to explore differences of learning styles, preference and
performance of supervision functions between supervisors and supervisors in social
work field practicum. Also, this study explored whether supervisors and
supervisors' personal traits and supervision structures influence supervision
functions. The study was conducted among 105 Social Work students and 97 field
practicum supervisors at one of the Cyber Universities in Seoul, Korea. The study
results show significant differences in active experimentation of the learning styles
between the supervisee and supervisor groups. There is no significant difference in
preference and performance of the supervision functions between the two groups.
The number of supervisee predicted the supervisors' performance of supervision
functions, while gender, active experimentation of the learning styles, supervision
methods and supervision contents expected the supervisor's preference of
supervision functions. There is no statistically significant factor found in predicting
supervisee's preference of supervision functions. Based on the results, implications
for supervision in Social Work practicum are suggested.
