U radu su prikazani rezultati preliminarnog ispitivanja stavova i očekivanja socijalnih radnika (N=30) i studenata završne godine socijalnog rada (N=30) o superviziji. Premda je samo 26.7% socijalnih radnika imalo iskustvo sa supervizijom, 82% ih smatra da bi im supervizija bila izrazito potrebna u svakodnevnom radu. Temeljem rezultata posebna pozornost posvećena je koracima uvođenja supervizije u svakodnevnu praksu, pri čemu je edukacija potencijalne skupine supervizora u području specifičnih vještina supervizije nužna.This paper presents results of the preliminary survey of social workers ’ (N=30) and social work students’ (N=30) attitudes toward supervision.
