Then three expert supervisors and two other doctoral students of nursing conducted the peer checking.
They were three expert supervisors and two other faculty members experienced in qualitative research.
Colleagues, such as senior academics, senior practitioners, departmental heads, and heads of institutes and colleges, are asked to nominate supervisors they would consider to be expert supervisors.
As a further validity check, two expert supervisors and three other faculty members did peer checking on about 45% of all transcripts.
The semi-structured qualitative interview of expert supervisors includes open-ended questions covering three broad domains of practice, theory, and experience of supervision (see Table 2).
The interview guide was initially developed with the help of two expert supervisors, and consisted of some core open-ended question to allow respondent to explain their own views and experiences as fully as possible.

The study addresses past study limitations by examining expert supervisors and their supervisory interactions, by reflecting on actual supervision sessions, and by using dyadic analysis of the supervisory pairs.
However, research from peer coaching in the K 12 setting using collaborative teams of teachers of equal status rather than expert supervisors also showed demonstrable improvement on changing teaching behavior and student achievement (Showers, 1984).
