Self-evaluation and occupational therapy fieldwork educators: do they practice what they preach?
- Authors:
- REID Alistair, McKAY Vincent
- Journal article citation:
- British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 64(11), November 2001, pp.564-571.
- Publisher:
- Sage
Reports on a cross-sectional survey which was carried out to identify the strategies used by fieldwork educators to evaluate their own supervisory skills. The survey also examined the fieldwork educators' attitude towards, and understanding of, self-evaluation. Respondents of the survey claimed to use a wide variety of self-evaluation techniques, with the majority using between three and five strategies. While the respondents viewed self-evaluation positively, only 55.2 % of them appeared to understand this concept fully. Recommends that future fieldwork education update courses should focus on informing fieldwork educators about the concept of self-evaluation and reinforcing its benefits.
Leadership in voluntary associations: the case of the 'International Association of Women'

Three models of leadership in voluntary associations have been proposed in the literature: democratic leadership, oligarchy, and leadership by default. Through an intensive case study of leadership structure, differences in the attitudes of members and leaders at three hierarchical levels, and differences between the attitudes and behaviours of aspirants and nonaspirants to leadership in a women's service association, this article examines the degree of fit between these models and a specific organisation. Data is drawn from questionnaires, annual reports, and interviews. The results fail to conform to any of the existing models, suggesting instead a fourth model, leadership for self-development - in which leaders are motivated primarily by a desire to develop administrative and interpersonal skills.
