Pedagogic strategies of supervisors in healthcare placements.

Purpose: Supervisors are responsible to train students in healthcare placements. Although there is knowledge about workplace learning and supervision in general, little is known about supervisors' pedagogic strategies in specific healthcare placements. In this study, we identify how supervisors' reasoning and interrelated actions manifest in physiotherapy and nursing work settings.

Understanding students' participation in physiotherapy and nursing work settings.

Students' health profession education includes learning at the workplace through placements. For students, participating in daily work activities in interaction with supervisors, co-workers and peers is a valuable practice to learn the expertise that is needed to become a health care professional. To contribute to the understanding of HPE-students' workplace learning, the focus of this study is to identify affordances and characterise student's participation during placements.
