WITHOUT RESEARCH NO DEVELOPMENT AND NO PROFESSIONALISATION!
mentioned before, the ECVision outcomes offer a starting point. When dealing
with competences and learning outcomes, it is always dangerous to focus
solely on visibly measured results. Supervisors and coaches need to be able to
command a wide range of attitudes, behavioural alternatives, and high level
professional competences that cannot all be described operationally and cannot
all be measured guantatively.
In the future members of ANSE are charged to:
s Promote (with the support of the community) the use and the further
development of the glossary and the competence framework. As already
mentioned these products are a consensus on a next higher level but still
in progress.
s Develop and offer platforms for exchange of experiences in the field of
research on supervision and coaching, and for facilitating cooperation
of scientists within Europe; in this way supporting the development of
a common research systematic ( for instance by initiating co-operation
between universities under the umbrella of ANSE).
s Actively enhance contacts with colleagues outside the ‘German speaking’
area and colleagues, and to establish contacts within the Anglo-Saxon
world. This would further the use of English as the ANSE lingua franca.
Let me close off with an idea:
Within all master-programs and universities dealing with supervision and
coaching, a lot of research is being done. Let's create a EUROPEAN SCIENTIFIC
AWARD for supervision and coaching. An international jury under the lead of
ANSE selects the best and most relevant scientific publication, which is then
to be published in English.
