from the educational to professional supervision

This article aims to reflect on the educational and professional supervision as a teaching-learning methodology where education was employed during the formative stage and once this one is completed, the professional supervision is developed with the professional activity.

In order to contrast this claim, and taking the educational supervision as the axis around which the reflection spins, we will try to identify and incorporate elements that are commonly used in professional supervision, but it certainly can be used in the development of the process of educational supervision. Our purpose, therefore, is to approach the educational supervision during the learning period as a type of initial supervision, principal element of the help professions. After completion of the studies and started working life, continuity is given with the professional supervisión.
