Collective Academic Supervision (CAS)

The CAS Project aims to try out and evaluate an innovative collective supervision practice within two master's programmes: the Master's in Career Guidance and the Master's in Teachers Education / Social Sciences. Our objective is that collective academic supervision will lead to a more inclusive learning environment, increased student independence, and enhanced confidence in their written and oral academic competencies.

Who we are

The CAS Project is a collaboration between the research group in Career Guidance and the Career Guidance subject area team, the research group in Social Science Didactics and the Social Science subject area team, the research group on Supervision in Professions and Education, together with Master's students in Career Guidance and Master's students in teacher education/social sciences.

What is collective supervision?

Collective Academic Supervision is characterised by students working on individual assignments being gathered in smaller groups and supervised together. Students regularly meet one or two supervisors per group during a course; the meetings can be physical or digital. Key instruments in Collective Academic Supervision are that both the supervisor and the students give and receive feedback (also digitally), supervise each other, engage in a typical academic dialogue and act as opponents for each other.
