eva‎luating educational supervisors performance from elementary teachers` points of view in Isfahan province in order to explain their duties

علوم تربيتي

The present study was conducted with the aim of eva‎luating educational supervisors performance from elementary teachers` points of view in Isfahan province in order to explain their duties. This applied research was conducted with an explanatory mixed-methods approach. In the quantitative part, the data collection tool was a researcher-made checklist, whose validity was confirmed through content validity an‎d its reliability with a Cronbachʹs alpha coefficient of 0.991. The statistical population included all teachers in rural, multi-grade, an‎d nomadic primary schools in Isfahan province whose classes were visited by educational supervisors during the 2023-2024 academic year (1,613 individuals). From this number, teachers from 4 districts—Kashan, Varzaneh, Semirom, an‎d Fereydunshahr—were considered (422 individuals), an‎d based on the Krejcie an‎d Morgan table, 201 individuals were selec‎ted purposively. In the qualitative part, the statistical population included 52 educational supervisors at the primary level in the province, an‎d theoretical saturation was achieved through 12 semi-structured interviews conducted via purposive snowball sampling. To enhance accuracy, the extracted categories were confirmed by the supervisors, advisor, an‎d the interviewees. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, stan‎dard deviation) an‎d inferential statistics, including a one-sample t-test in SPSS software (version 27). The results showed that the mean performance score of educational supervisors (4.28) was significantly higher than the average level (score of 4). In other words, from the teachersʹ points of view, the supervisorsʹ performance was eva‎luated at a desirable level. This positive assessment was mostly directed towards the formal duties outlined in the visitation an‎d supervision forms, an‎d teachers emphasized the supervisorsʹ accuracy an‎d organization in this area. However, there is a need for strengthening an‎d revision in areas such as practical training an‎d guidance for teachers, identifying an‎d resolving educational problems, assisting in improving the teaching method, enhancing professional knowledge an‎d expertise, observing professional ethics, an‎d motivating teachers. Finally, the present study provided a set of proposed duties an‎d guidelines for enhancing the status of educational supervisors an‎d improving their role in supporting teachers an‎d elevating the quality of primary education. Based on the findings, it is suggested that future research should: 1) revise an‎d complete the supervisorsʹ visitation forms, 2) identify the educational needs of supervisors an‎d design targeted courses, 3) conduct research to provide a model for selec‎ting educational supervisors, 4) perform specific studies on multi-grade classrooms emphasizing the experiences of specialists an‎d teachers, 5) investigate strategies for enhancing supervisorsʹ interaction with local an‎d social institutions, 6) examine the role of educational supervisors in motivating teachers, 7) research the future of educational supervision an‎d the new roles of supervisors, 8) conduct research in other provinces of the country, 9) expan‎d the scope of research to cities within Isfahan province, an‎d 10) repeat the research at different time intervals.
