Abstract: This article aims to examine the supervision process, which plays a significant role in counselor education, through the Social Cognitive Supervision Model and to explain the model in detail. Supervision is considered a critical process for counseling candidates to develop their professional identity and skills. The social cognitive supervision model is based on Bandura's Social Cognitive Learning Theory and emphasizes the central role of self-efficacy beliefs in this process. Self-efficacy refers to candidates' belief in their ability to effectively provide counseling services in the future and is a key factor for successful learning. The article explains the key elements of the social cognitive supervision model through the triadic reciprocal causation model: individual factors, behaviors, and the environment. Individual factors include candidates' self-efficacy beliefs, cognitive, and affective processes during supervision. Environmental factors involve interactions with supervisors and clients. Supervisors' roles in providing feedback, modeling, and social persuasion are crucial to candidates' professional development. In conclusion, this article present the social cognitive supervision model as a model that contributes to the development of counseling candidates' skills and self-efficacy while supporting future empirical studies.
