It appears that supervisors invest great effortduring their professional careers to avoid thecognitive dissonance between their pedagogicalbeliefs, to which they are committed from earlychildhood, and the difficult reality at school.Supervisors frequently use explanations of forgetfulness,or inattention to explain why they did notanswer a question regarding behaviour problemsraised by student teachers or a cooperating teacherduring feedback sessions. They also ‘do notremember’ or ‘do not see and do not hear’behaviour problems.
