CHAPTER ONE

1 INTRODUCTION

Schools are social institutions by which the society maintain and transfer its culture, bring about

the innate potential of their children and produce a work-force that can adapt to the rapidly

changing world. Hence, several nations world wide have focused significant attention to the

improvement of their schools in the hope of gaining these benefits of the school system.

(Sergiovanni and Starratt 2002:3).

Currently educational systems in Ethiopia is showing tremendous changes at all level of

educational institution from nursery school to University level i.e., The structures of educational

organizations, the role of school system and their services, the public expectation for education,

the programs etc. are changing and correspondingly the management of education is changing.

The government of Ethiopia has initiated different packages since June 2007 so as to bring

improved work of schools, one of which is the professional development of teachers, principals,

and supervisors. The ministry of education has also prepared standard, which schools should

follow. As a result, teachers are expected to discharge their responsibilities based on the

standards set to achieve the professional career designed to them. Besides, it was stated that the

teachers have to work there job cooperatively, and provide supervisory service to their

colleagues for their professional career. However this is not practiced on a competitive basis

(MoE,2007:27).

Vashis (2002:2-4) indicates that the practice of educational supervision started back in the early

1700’s in Boston. However it grew-up and has got its current shape largely during the first

quarter of the 20th

century It’s philosophy, objectives, functions, techniques and definition to

mention a few have registered various changes through time. Unlike supervision today, the

functions of educational supervision prior to the present century were very much limited and was

focused on teaching (procedures and classroom management (Pater F.Oliva et.al 1997:5).

Accordingly, supervisors are becoming liaison agents between the lower and higher level of

administration. Supervisors and teachers have great power over their teaching work together to

Page 11: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--11

bring their services to benefits of teachers and students at school level and the community,

However, supervision position and supervisory activities for instance, were initially treated as an

aspect of administrative power. Teachers were thus, evaluated as effective or ineffective on the

basis of how much their personalities match with that of their heads. Also the old style

supervision and/or inspection are fault finder that has no place in efforts to improve quality of

teaching and learning.

Supervision has evolved to include various in school and out-of-school factors over the past few

decades, under the current general education on quality, improvement program,(GEQP) school

based instructional supervision is given important emphasis. Therefore this study attempts to

assess school based instructional supervision. And operating in the government primary schools

of Yeka Sub city, and how these schools perceive these problems.

1.2 Statement of the problem

As a vital facet of educational management, an instructional supervision has a greater potential

force to enhance teachers’ professional efficiency there by contributing to better students

learning. The purpose of supervision is to help increase the opportunity and the capacity of

schools to contribute more effectively to student academic success. However, Sergiovanni and

Staarratt (2007:6) note that an instructional supervision is not an easy task to successfully

accomplish as desired. In some cases, instructional supervision might have undermined the

whole efforts of improving the teaching conducting “proper” supervision depends on various

factors including the competence of the supervisor and the attitude of the teacher. Besides, it is

not only the supervisor’s competence but also the way that she/he approaches the teacher also

has significant impact on the success of supervision. To put it in a net shell, educational

supervision is an invaluable resource and medium that has significant impact in the effort of

improving teaching- learning process. However due to insufficient research in the area, the sector

is lacking major in put and feed backs. Hence, the research tries to focus on answering the

following basic question.

1. What are the main objectives and techniques of school based instructional supervision in

primary schools?

Page 12: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--12

2. How efficiently do school management use school based supervision to improve

teaching learning process?

3. How do teachers perceive school based supervision?

4. What problems are seen in school based supervision?

5. What measures could be undertaken to solve the problem?

1.3Objective of the Study

1.3.1 General objective of the study

This study was aimed at assessing school Based instructional supervision in selected

government primary school and forwarding in suggestion to use it effectively to improve

quality of education.

1.3.2 Specific objectives of the study.

To evaluate the system of supervision in relation with the competence of supervisor

teachers involvement, during implementation of the program.

To assess to what extent the supervisor leadership skills are utilized.

To assess to what extent the classroom observation. Techniques are implemented

(conducted)

To explore the major problems of instructional supervision.

To recommend alternative strategies to be used and measure to be taken for the

improvement of the instructional supervision practices.

1.4. Significance of the Study

The fundamental task of instructional supervision is primarily to promote the professional

skill of teachers aiming at the advancement of the academic performance of students. Hence

the student researcher has a belief that identifying the prevailing practice and problems and

Page 13: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--13

coming up with relatively significant recommendations can have its own role to play in

improving the educational quality. To this end, the study has attempted to offer affirmative

idea such as the following:

Enable instructional supervisors and teachers realize how the real problems of school based

instructional supervision occur, where they lie, and how they should be alleviated.

Enable instructional supervisors use their Leadership role and potentials in solving

instructional problems by facilitating short training workshop and meetings and meetings to

build the capacity of teachers.

Serves as a reference point for concerned body and plays considerable role in directing the

extent of the problem and taking the correct measuring.

.5 Delimitation of the study

Though there are both governmental and non- governmental schools in the sub city, to make

it manageable, the study focused on government schools only. Moreover, for the same

reason, it is delimited to primary schools namely: Hizbawiserawit, Tigle

lenetsenet,Mekanehiwat,Mizia 23,Addis Berhan,Hibretfra.

1.6, Research methods, materials and procedures

1.6.1 Research Methodology

The method to be used in order to attain the objective of this study was survey method, since the

study tries to assess school based instructional supervision.

1.6.2 Data Source

Both primary and secondary data sources have been used in the study.

1.6.3 Sample Population and Sampling Technique

Yeka sub city is administratively divided in to 13 woredas out of which 4 woredas (30.77%)

were randomly selected as sample for the study. All of the 15 Governmental primary schools

found in the four sample woredas included in the study.

Office head and one supervisor from the sub city education office and two of the woreda

education offices are selected using availability sampling .The other two sample woredas do not

Page 14: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--14

have supervisors and only office heads are included. The size of sample taken for department

heads & senior teachers are 36 (27.9%) and 80 (43.06%) teachers were also selected by random

sampling. This is about 40.34% of the total population. The total population and each

representative samples selected are shown in the table below.

1.6.5 Data Analysis Strategies

After the entire questionnaire distributed are collected, data analysis will be followed. All the

necessary recording was done under the respective categories for that the respondent has been

given and the presentation of data that were used to know the background of respondents. Then

data were analyzed by using frequency and percentage.

1.7 Operational Definitions of Key Terms and Concept

Important terms and concepts relevant to this study are defined as follows:

Clinical supervision: the rational and practice designed to improve the teachers classroom

performance (Sergiovanni, 1993).

Inspection to examine critically one or more aspects of the school its programs, such as

instructional activities and the like (Good, 1997:303).

Instruction: is the teaching learning process through which the curriculum is translated in to

practice Good. (1973:304)

Instructional supervision: “is what school personnel do with adults or things to maintain or

change the operation of the school in order to influence directly the attainment of the major

instructional goals of the school” (Harris, 1963:11).

Primary schools: includes from grades 1-8 in the Ethiopian government school system

(MoE, 1994): All school offering primary education to children both the first and the second

level of learning in grade 1-8 which involves two cycles, the first cycle grade (1-4) and the

second cycle grade (5-8).

School Based (in built) supervision: is a supervisory activity at the school levels which

maintain system level norms, and promote change and development of every school

(UNESCO).

Page 16: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

Chapter Two

2. Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents review of literature in eight major area:- i.e. the concepts, who is the

supervisor and developments definition of supervision, purpose, power Authority, and Teachers

Reaction towards supervisors, major functions of supervisors supervision strategies supervisory

at the school level, the Emergence of supervision in Ethiopian schools, major factors that affect

school base instructional supervisory practice are treated in this parts of the study.

2.1. Concepts, who is supervisor and Definition of Supervision

The concept of supervision is different for many advocators. It is difficult to come up with single

and common definition that has accepted by all scholars of the field. For this study, however, the

following definitions are found to be relevant. In educational contexts supervision is vital to the

achievements of educational objectives. Some definitions cited by Dull, L.W (1981:3-5) in Haile

sellassi (2007) refer the following.

Supervision is the process of bringing about improvement in instruction by working people who

are working teachers to help them selves. The supervisory program is one of instructional

improvement (Texas Education Agency, 1949).

The term supervision is used to describe those activities which are primarily and directly

concerned with studying and improving the conditions which surround the learning and growth

of pupils and teachers (Sarn H. Moor, 1952:1).

Therefore, from the above definitions stated under the educational contexts, supervision possibly

focuses mainly on activities that would help teachers and other school personnel to be effective

in applying instructional tasks and achieve educational objectives.

I. Who is the Supervisor?

Page 18: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--18

Frank and Wood (1999:92) contend that the supervision in a school is often viewed as

“Something provided by administrators, department heads, or supervisors not teachers”

Nowadays, however, Sergiovanni and Starate (2002:xvi) point out the:

In a contemporary society, the responsibility of a supervisory function not exclusively on

the domain of principals, supervisors and others who are on the school hierarchy.

Instead, it incorporates the commonly shared set of concepts and skills of individuals who

are involved in the process of improving schooling.

In this case, the authors argue that teachers can engage in supervisory function when they visit

each other’s class to learn and provide help, to critique each other’s planning and to share

profiles, and to engage in other activities that increase their learning (Ibid).

Strengthening this, Lucio and McNeil (1979:27) define role as “the appropriate actions to the

positions, not with the person who temporally occupying the position.” As a result, for them,

school supervision is a “distributed function” for its is seen that the principals, the department

heads, and the experienced teachers are engaged in supervisory practice at school levels.

To this end, currently, the trend of supervision indicates that principals and supervisors are no

longer the primary persons who fulfill supervisory duties and responsibilities the schools.

Instead, department heads, and senior (experienced) teachers are having significant supervisory

role in the united states of America’s schools (Leepes, 1969:194), Gwynn (1964:235) Gorton et

al (1988:91), and Reba (1976:304).

II. Early definition of supervision

The first modern statement and concept was presented by Burton in 1922. According to

Burtun (1922) in vashist supervision is concerned with the impartment of teaching act,

teaching in service, selection and organization of subject mater, testing and measuring,

and the rating of teachers.

This definition does not distinguish critically between major and minor function, it is

concerned rather directly with improving the work of teacher.

Page 19: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--19

A statement by Dunn (1923) in vashist pointed that Instructional supervision therefore, has

the large purpose of improving the quality of instruction, primarily by promoting the

professional growth of all teachers, and secondarily and temporarily by correcting

deficiencies of preliminary preparation for teaching by the training of teachers in service.

This definition in particular focused the activities of supervision on the teacher with a distinct

improvement over the older term, “improvement of service”. This is the first step on the road

to modern concept of supervision. Now a days even words and phrases expressing

supervision are changing progressively. For example “correcting deficiencies” has been

changed to “aiding the teacher to study his own procedures” and to developing the teacher’s

power to improve (correct his work).

III. A modern definition of supervision according to Vashist (2002:12) the modern

definition relevant to this study may be summarized:

1. Supervision is increasingly participatory and cooperative. Policies and plans are formulated

through group discussion with participation by all. This is the result of increasing insight in

to the nature of democracy and democratic methods.

2. Supervisory activates and opportunities are distributed among an ever larger number of

persons as all come to contribute and to accept challenges to exercise leadership.

3. supervision is increasingly derived from the given situation rather than imposed upon it.

IV. A Definition in Outline Form

“Supervision is leadership and the development of leadership within groups which are

cooperatively” Vashist, (2002:13). The same source also state that. Traditional supervision has

centered largely on the thought that teachers being lamentably under trained, need careful

direction and training. Visiting the classroom, conferences, teachers meetings were the bulk of

supervision. Modern supervision aims at improvement of the total teaching learning process, the

focus is on institution, not on a person or group of persons. All persons are coworkers among at

Page 20: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--20

the improvement of a situation one group is not supervisor to another, operating to improve the

inferior group. Modern supervision means that attention is entered more upon the aim, structure,

and fundamental process of education with improved levels of teacher and supervision training,

the invention, selection, administration, and application of device. The following outline

summarizes the salient differences between types of supervision.

2.2. Purpose

Education is powerful enough to change life, both individual and communal. It can and does

make a difference in the way people behave. Educational institutions, therefore, have a

responsibility for making the life that is “good to live” known to and attainable for all that is it

must make a difference in the health, safety, culture, retirement, happiness, and general well

being of all Indeed, national security, economic and social security for the individual, and the

Page 21: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--21

welfare and happiness of mankind are dependent upon the scope and character of public

education.

Part of the task of educational leadership is to assist in reducing conflicting views and arriving at

a common denominator of expectation for education. So educational leadership therefore needs

to be change oriented. The purpose of the school is to change people and to promote growth in

individuals (i.e. intellectual, social, emotional and physical). (i.e intellectual, social, emotional

and physical). The purpose of teaching and supervision is to promote desirable changes

(Harrison, 1998).

The purpose of effective school based supervision is to enable the individual teacher to be come

implementer of effective teaching i.e. the primary purpose of supervision is to provide a

mechanism for teachers and supervisors to increase their understanding of the learning teaching

process through collaborative inquiry with other professionals.

Objectives of Supervision

Supervision has paramount significance for the development of staff. In service programs in the

form of workshops, seminars, conferences, faculty meetings, summer courses, extension

programs, intra-school and inter-school visits and employment of professional libraries are some

of the useful means to be utilized so as to realize effective staff professional development

(Musazi 1987:196).

To emphasize supervision and teacher developments go hand in hand so as to.

1. Help teachers see more clearly the real ends of education, and the special role of the

school in working towards the realization of those ends, support teachers understand

clearly the learning problems of their pupils and provide them with the necessary care:

2. Cater for effective leadership in democratic way, promoting the professional ideas of the

school and its activities, the in service growth of teachers and bringing schools closer to

community circle.

Page 22: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--22

3. Enable teachers develop greater competence in teachers into an effective working team

for better out comes, and establish strong group moral, and to unify teachers in to an

effective working team for better out comes.

Principles

Teaching methods can be improved through adequate and appropriate supervision. All

professional personnel have degrees of responsibility for improving classroom methods and

should function as a supervisory team. Supervisory personnel should practice effective

democratic methods in supervision if they expect teachers to use such methods in the classroom.

The merit of all methods of classroom instruction should be weighed in terms of desirable

student growth. Good supervision promotes methods that bring about a classroom climate of

satisfaction and accomplishment. Supervision should provide help for individual teachers and a

general methodology improvement program.

Supervision of methods should include preplanning, observation, and follow-up conference. wise

supervision should include freedom for teacher initiative in classroom experimentation of

methods. Suggestions of methods should utilize the capabilities of the entire staff. Biruke (2010).

All supervisors, in recommending methods, should consider the individual differences of

teachers as to personal, physical, mental and social capabilities. Supervision should produce in

teachers a genuine interest in professional improvement of teaching methods. A good

supervisory program of methods revision grows out of the classroom and leads to further

improvement. Effective supervision provides for a cooperative program of continuous evaluation

and improvement of all methods used.

2.3. Power, Authority, and Teachers Reaction towards Supervision

According to Bittle (1980:82) power is “the capacity of the leader to act for getting something

done by influencing others who are under his/her leadership or direction”

Hence, Sergivanni and Stratt (2002:27-35) refer authority as “the power that is used to influence

how teachers think, and what teachers do about teaching and learning.” This depicts that the

Page 23: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--23

inbuilt supervisors’ success and failure in exercising their power steams from the authority they

had bestowed.

Clarifying this, the authors mentioned five sources of authority for in-built supervisors if they are

to fulfill their roles at school level. These are:

1. Bureaucratic Authority- it is a source of authority which provide supervisors to direct

the work of teachers in the form of prescription on what, when, and how to teach.

2. Personal Authority- it is believed that the supervisor’s interpersonal skills is used as an

instrument of winning teachers so to as to comply with them.

3. Technical Rational Authority- In this type of authority teachers are expected to be

skilled technicians who apply the results of scientific knowledge.

4. Professional Authority- it refers to the teachers and supervisors authority, which comes

from their training or experience.

5. Moral Authority- It is believed that if teachers share values, and deals as a community,

they will develop a sense of fulfilling their duties and responsibilities.

As a result, the authors contend that the norms and values that are driven from the professional or

moral authority can substitute the direct supervision of teachers by creating collegiality, and

making them self-managing in their day-to-day teaching practice (Ibid).

With regard to the source of authority for the in-built supervision and teachers, Reba and Martha

(1961:44-45) conceived authority as “a dynamic, not static property.” Hence, they argue that in a

democratic group, authority is not considered the hand of specific individuals, but it must be

potentially shared to any member of the group.

Thus, the senior teachers at school level could have authority to discharge their supervisory

responsibility in helping their colleagues as a department head, and as a mentor in sharing

experience with their fellow teachers. Clarifying this, Halland (1989:75) describe authority in

supervision as follows:

Page 24: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--24

The theme of supervisor as authority has its transformative alternative the supervisor who,

recognize that the meanings of classroom events are contextually determined, empowers teachers

to identify and use their own pedagogical knowledge and values in the supervisory activities of

planning, observing, and analyzing instruction. In this alternative practice supervisors and

teachers share responsibility for working together to further teacher’s learning and skills.

Therefore, one can understand that the authority of in-built supervisors (principals, department

heads, and senior teachers) is stemmed from their professional expertise on how to plan, observe,

and analyze instruction. In turn, this type of authority could help them in exercising their

supervisory roles and functions as having shared responsibility with the teachers in the school.

In contrary to this in the United States of America Sergiovani and Starrat (2002:55) noted that,

“the supervisory experience of teachers shows that teachers were being manipulated, racially and

ethnically stereotyped, and sexually harassed by their supervisors.” Above all, the authors

believe that teachers” power was taken by their supervisors, which destroy their self-autonomy,

self-confidence and integrity. Hence, this mistreatment of teachers by their supervisors could

result negative attitude of teachers towards their supervisors.

Clarifying the reaction of teachers towards supervision, Leeper (1969:109-247) argued that, “In a

situations where teachers were being treated inhumanly, it will be real and considerable to expect

reactions from teachers.” Furthermore, he suggested that teachers tend to avoid being the object

of supervision if they perceive it as threatening to their personal relationship rather than dealing

with the teaching-learning situations. Hence, he forwarded the following possible reasons why

teachers develop negative reaction towards supervision. As of him, teachers develop negative

reaction when they:

1. Do not see supervision as focusing on the improvement on the improvement of

instruction;

2. Do not see supervision as having a strong “human relations” base;

3. Do not see supervisors as being prepared to help them in the study of teaching; and

Page 25: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--25

4. Want supervision that will help them attack instructional problems instead of developing

their practice.

2.4. Major Functions of Supervision

The major functions of supervision that are described by different authors, such as; Leeper

(1969), GWYNN (1964), Sergiovanni and Starrat (2002), Burham et al (1961), Gorton et al

(1988), Melchior (1950), and Mohanty (1990), which the school supervisors and the teachers

actions are directed to, could be grouped in this study in to four categories as follows:

1. Curriculum improvement and change. The chief function of supervision is that of the

improvement of instruction. Hence, its most important contribution is on curriculum

improvement. This could be done by adapting the curriculum more closely to the pupil’s

needs, and by studying the entire curriculum, course of study, and course content all in terms

of locally available resources. In doing this the goals or objectives of the curriculum should

be taken as a basis for “why of supervision”, and the techniques or methods to achieve these

goals or objectives as “how of supervision” in rendering supervisory services to teachers.

2. Facilitating the work of teachers and in-built supervisions. The notion of making the work

of others easy or less difficult and of freeing from impediments is termed by the scholars as

“facilitating”. Hence, if supervision is considered as facilitating or making the work of others

easier, its main function becomes helping or guiding the teacher to achieve the most effective

learning situation. They argue that the best thing supervision could render in facilitating the

work of teachers is to create better understanding between teachers and supervisors (Ibid).

3. Studying the pupils and the community. The authors believe that the goal of education today

is to effect behavioral changes that will result in better educational experiences to children

and youth. In doing this, Supervision is expected to help in evaluating and assessing the

achievement of our pupils; and improving the records of “transmittal” so that they tell a truer

story of the pupil.

Furthermore, supervision serves as a way by which the school may become an integral part of

the community by seeking the cooperation of parents and all other adults. Hence, supervision

Page 26: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--26

should function as a means of increasing the use of community resources. This is because; it

helps to minimize pupils’ repetition and dropout rate; as well as improving their learning.

4. Teacher growth and evaluation- It is believed that teachers as a community of practice can

come together in a common effort to help each other, and to work together in improving their

students academic achievement. Besides, it is argued that when teachers work together and

learn together teaching improves. Hence, the purpose of supervision becomes to help

supervisors increase the opportunity and capacity of teachers to contribute more for their

learning in order to contribute more effectively to students’ academic success (Sergiovanni

and Stratt, 2002:17).

In contrary to the notion of professional growth of teachers, in more traditional times,

supervision was focused on assessing what teachers performed based on previously set

educational standards or criteria. Thus, teacher evaluation means the rating, and classifying of

teachers using some locally standardized instrument as a Yardstick. Too often, this evaluation

instrument is filled out after a classroom observation of the teacher. Presently, however, the

focus is shifted into what students are doing in their learning. As a result, the major function of

supervision became consistent with formative evaluation which holds teachers to be accountable

to their profession rather than in bureaucratic sense. This depicts that professional accountability

is growth oriented, and in-built supervision implies as a commitment to consistent improvement

of teachers (Ibid).

2.5. Supervisory Strategies for in-built Supervisors

As has been mentioned in 2.4. above the chief function of supervision is helping teachers and in-

built supervisors help themselves for the possibility of becoming skilled in the process of

enhancing children’s learning. Hence as of Leeper (1969:125) “It is believed that any school

system must design its supervisor program based on its situations or context”

Strengthening this notion, Sergivoanni and Stratt (2002:44) contend, “A one-size- fits- all

approach to supervision will not work since teachers have different strengths and weakness, and

needs and interests” Thus, they believe that different supervisory approaches should be available

for teachers to work towards their professional growth and improvement of students’ learning.

Page 27: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--27

Accordingly, they proposed that every school could develop six supervisory strategies, which

provide every teacher the opportunity to play their supervisory roles and functions. These are:

1. Collegial Supervision- the authors define it as “a process by which teachers agree to work on

a team basis for their own professional growth”. As a result, teachers are expected to observe

each other’s classrooms so as to give feedback for each other, and share ideas on professional

concerns. In collegial supervision the team members could be two or three volunteer

teachers; or all the teachers in one department. Besides, this type of supervision help teachers

and in-built supervisors to discuss about educational issues like; preparing lesson plans,

curriculum development, peer coaching, and action research. (Ibid).

1.1. Mentoring- it is a form of collegial supervision, which is aimed at inducting or orienting

new or beginner teachers by the experienced teachers in the school. As of the authors, “a

mentor is a person, usually another teachers, entrusted with tutoring, educating, and

guiding another person who is typically new to teaching or new to a given school”.

Hence, it is suggested that the mentor teacher is responsible to acquaint the new or

beginner teacher to the school culture, to the classroom situations, and to the overall

work. This in turn will help them to perform their roles, to develop their self confidence,

and to meet the standards of teaching.

More specifically, Benton (1972:175) contended that the mentoring program in the school must

serve as a starting point for the new or beginner teachers in the following ways, it should create a

positive impression and generate favorable attitude, learning and cooperative sprit must be

facilitated, a feeling of belongingness should be established.

2. Self-directed Supervision- It is a form of supervision where teachers work alone by

assuming responsibility of their own professional development. The authors contend that the

individual teachers develop a plan of targets where they seek assistance from their peer

teachers and supervisors in the school. Thus, the authors strongly believe that, in meeting the

professional development targets, this type of supervision is ideal or teachers who prefer to

work alone; or who are unable to work cooperatively with other teachers.

Page 28: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--28

3. Informal Supervision- It is another form of supervisory strategy, which is characterized by

frequent informal visit to teachers’ classrooms, and conversation with teachers about their

work based on the teachers’ personal invitation. In this strategy, the authors view that the

school principals and other in-built supervisors work as equal instructional partners of the

teachers. Thus, they also suggested that the supervisors can in turn have the opportunity to

invite teachers on the process of instructional supervision as their partners.

4. Inquiry- based Supervision- It is a supervisory strategy, which brings teachers to work

collaboratively to solve problems as in the form of action research. Therefore, the teacher is

expected to work closely with the in-built supervisors in identifying problems and developing

a strategy for its resolution, and in sharing the findings and conclusions.

Emphasizing this, Wiskery (2005:233) believe that “teachers and school supervisor should take

action research as means to take critical attitude involving self-evaluation, development,

professionalism, and accountability.” Hence, she argued that action research is one from of

supervision, which helps teachers to develop a sense of ownership, and initiate them to change

their perception of teaching.

5. Clinical supervision- it refers to face-to-face contact between teachers and supervisors with

the intention of helping teachers to modify the existing patterns of teaching. Hence, the

authors believe that clinical supervision is for those teachers who need special assistance to

improve their teaching practice; but not for all teachers since the needs and interests of

teachers differ from one to another.

Strengthening this, Sirtonic and Oasis (1986:158) define clinical supervision as a “process that

enables teachers to question the taken-for-granted assumptions about their own teaching.”

In this case, it is possible to argue that clinical supervise is a supervisory strategy, which helps to

deal with traditional methods of teaching; in replacing them with modern (active learning)

methods of teaching. This, in turn, helps to improve the professional practice of teachers so that

they can meet the professional standards set by the school community.

Common Procedures for Classroom Observation

Page 29: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--29

In carrying out a supervisory service in the classrooms, the in-built instructional supervisor needs

to know the three phases/procedures of supervisory practice. The commonly suggested

procedures by different authors (UNESCO, 2001:55), Haileselasie (1995:28-31) and TREB

(1999 E.C) are stated as follows:

1. Pre-classroom observation conference: getting information about the class, getting on

the strengths and needs in the teaching; the teacher is asked to indicate some areas in

which he/she wishes to be observed.

2. During- classroom Observation: both the teacher. Who is being supervised, and the

supervisor do this by looking at the specific areas that the teacher has identified. Hence,

relevant information is noted down on the previously agreed upon areas of concern or

focus.

3. Post-classroom observation conference: at this phase, the teacher clarifies what he/she

has observed during teaching, his/her planning, contributions made by people, etc

depending on the areas he/she has identified. The supervisor clarifies what he/she has

seen, starting with strengths and then, lastly, the needs which can be planned for. After

having discussions, the teacher and the supervisor will agree on the aspects to be

improved. In the end, where there is a need a demonstration can be given, and a date to

follow-up can be agreed up on.

Therefore, in the in-built instructional supervision, the teachers and the in-built supervisors could

work cooperatively as reflective practitioners with the aim of improving the practice of the

teacher so as to make him/her a productive member of the staff in the school.

2.7. The Emergence and Historical Development of supervision in Ethiopian

School

Some activities of school inspection /supervision begun in the Ethiopian school system after the

country gained independence from the Italian fasoist invasion. Suggestions for the establishment

of inspection/ supervision were submitted to emperor Heileselassie on August 1 1945 by Mr.

litter who was a member of the british council to Ethiopia at that time (Litter, 1945, 4) such

Page 30: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--30

activities as school administration, instructional standards curricular conformity, facilities,

discipline, health and sanitation, buildings and grounds were studied. These were reported to the

inspectorate generally by a combination of British and Ethiopian inspectors but merely

appointed. (MOE 1946:4).

An inspector director course was offered but discontinued after 1960. Toward the end of 1962,

the Haileselassie I university and the ministry of Education agreed to train elementary school

supervisors to exercise greater leadership in elementary school systems, to familiarize them with

new ideas in administration and the teaching process, and to help them be more enlightened and

effective instructional supervisors in elementary schools. However, that of school base

instructional supervision elementary schools is hardly studied and there is little literature about it

on this basis.

During the socialist regime, since the then government was following educational philosophy of

socialism, the role of educational philosophy of socialism, the role of educational leadership,

management, monitoring and evaluation was changed. Accordingly, educational supervision was

replaced by inspection (in 1981 at the ministry level). Thus, the main goals and activities of the

inspection program were monitoring and evaluation of the policies, directives, and planned

programs and strategies as per job description at each level of the education system (Ibid).

After the downfall of the Derge regime, based on the transitional government of Ethiopia counsel

of ministers’ proclamation No of 7/92 the main practice of the office became providing support.

Therefore, in the educational and training policy of 1994 inspection was changed into

supervision with the change of its practice. That is, helping teachers for the improvement of

educational achievement of students MoE (1987E.C:36).

MOE (1994 E.C:30) the present Ethiopian supervision structure. Organized at federal, regional

and woreda level, basically be expected to focus on maintaining the quality and standard of

education becoming involved in the evaluation of the educational objectives, secondly it should

be to render the necessary professional support and maintain technical quality and standard. The

external supervision is only on component of a system aimed at improving pedagogical practices

in the classroom.

Page 31: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--31

Goals of Educational Supervision in Ethiopian School

The goals of educational supervision are many in number. Based on their practicability, in

Ethiopian primary and secondary schools, the major ones are mentioned below (Amberber,

1975:17).

I. To create awareness the goals of educational system of the country on the part of

teachers, and providing them support in achieving these goals, to help teachers

understand the needs and problems of youngsters.

II. To develop a cooperative sprit among teachers by providing them on the job training; to

motivate them, and to strengthen healthy relationship between schools and the

community so as to improve the schools professional capacity and practice. To strive the

goal of teachers’ colleagueship by building practical team moral of the teachers.

III. To encourage and enable teachers to develop their personal proficiency in addition to

assigning them to the grade level they have assigned to teach. To help teachers develop

their teaching strategies. To provide indication service to the new, and to the prohibition

teachers.

IV. To evaluate the result of each teaching strategies based on the progress seen in their

students’ performance. To help teachers on low to make preparations by considering their

students learning difficulties. (Ibid).

2.8. Major Factors that Affect School Based Instructional Supervisory Practices

According to Reba and Martha et al (1961:32); instructional supervision is a dynamic growing

process that is occupying an important role in the schools. For this reason these authors point out

that the instructional supervision in today’s school might face different problems, which impede

its proper function for it is in its growing phase. Furthermore, they suggest that the type and

quality of supervision can be affected by the situation of the organization in which the

supervisory practice exists.

Page 32: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--32

As a result of this, different writers like. Leeper (1969:64), Gwynn (1964:225), krik Patrick

(1987:66-67), Broadwell (1979:29) and other mentioned different factors that could afferent

factors that could affect the type and quality of instructional supervisory practice in schools. The

major ones can be grouped in this study as follows:

1. Resource Related factors: These problems can be seen in terms of budget and financial

constraints, work load and job satisfaction of teachers, and in availability of enough

supervisory personnel (UNESCO,2001:64-65).

According to the evaluative research made by UNESCO in four African countries (Botswana,

Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe) the budget allocated for the supervisory service wasn’t seen

on the budget line of the schools. Furthermore, it is indicated that the big workload of the

supervising teachers was a major burden to carry out their supervisory role in the schools. It was

also shown that through the senior teachers are experienced, they lack the expertise on how to

supervise their follow teacher.

2. Managerial Related Factors: According to Anton cited in the UNESCO (2001:290) reports,

the managerial related factors or problems can be experienced in several areas of

management. These can be: recruitment and training, career development and incentives; and

support and evaluation. Hence, the major factors/problems that the different authors

mentioned above stated, related to managerial factors, include:

a. Absence of a comprehensive training programs for the newly recruited principals, and for

the supervising teachers with regard to how to supervise.

b. Lacks of job satisfaction of the in built supervisors for their benefits are not secured along

the benefits of the school.

c. In availability of some guidelines and checklists that would help the school supervisors to

conduct supervision effectively.

d. Inability to evaluate the supervisory program. For instance, to evaluate the

supervisee/supervisor, not the purpose of the supervisory program.

Page 33: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--33

3. Organizational structure Related Factors: An organizational structure not adapted to the

present realities may face many problems. Hence, in situations where there is no appointed or

well-trained supervisor, the supervisory practice may experience difficulties of coordination

among in built supervisors. Accordingly, the organizational problems or factors which

supervision may face could relate into four points (Ibid). See figure 1 in the Appendix.

a). Lack of clarity in structure and logic. It is assumed that the beginning and the new teachers

are to be closely supervised and helped by senior teachers. Where as if schools do not clearly

indicate who should supervise whom, the supervisory program will become inefficient.

b) Lack of co-ordination. This is especially noticed between the supervisory service and other

supervises in the school. Such as, teacher training, teacher resource centers, curriculum

development, and examinations.

c) Lack of job description of supervisors, especially for the senior teachers in the schools.

d) Lack of autonomy and power to take actions. Though it is suggested that the in-built

supervisors have to be personal and moral authoritative, it is believed that

hierarchical/bureaucratic authority to make the supervisory practice effective could support this.

4. Factors related to teachers’ and school supervisor’ attributes

As to Van sickle, cited in Lucio and Mc Neil (1969:6-7), “the assumption that teachers were best

helped and changed by direction from above was implicit in most practices of today” Hence, he

forwarded an interesting scheme that describes the attitude of teachers towards supervision. His

scheme categorizes teachers into five groups based on their professional preparation to

participate in supervisory program of schools.

As of him, first groups of teachers include superior teachers who need no stimulation other than

their own ideas of excellence. The second groups of teachers, however are those who possess a

good expertise of exercising their job, but resist to participate in supervisory programs of the

school. But, there are third group of teachers who lack adequate scholarship and/or practical

Page 34: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--34

skill, yet self-conscious and timed, and desirous of avoiding supervisory assistance. The forth

group of teachers are also lacking adequate scholarship and/or practical skill, but not conscious

of this lack, and therefore they seek no any kind of supervisory assistance. The last groups of

teachers are in their early years of service, and hence supervision should consider them as having

positive attitude towards supervisory service.

Finally, the author point out that the teachers in groups one two and five are willing to cooperate

in the supervisory program of the school if the in-built supervisors are competent and trust

worthily. Hence, he concludes that the in-built supervisors must be both skillful and fair-minded

and their work must prove that supervision means help.

Furthermore, the different authors mentioned also propose the following factors that could

possibly affect the attitude of teachers towards supervision. These are:

The vested interest of the principal and the teachers could also operate to block

effective supervision.

Personal problems of teachers which arise from other pressures and influences usually

from social, emotional, economic or community situation in which the teacher finds

him/her self.

Poor interpersonal relations with other teachers, and school supervisors.

The way the supervisors are trained and taught could affect the supervisory program;

in turn it affects the attitude of teachers towards supervise.

From the data collected and tabulated, the following significant characteristics of respondents

have been obtained according to personal details shown in Table 1 item 1 of 37(46.25%) of

teachers, 20(55.6%) department heads and senior teachers, 13 (72.2%) principals and assistant

principals, 5 (83.3%) woredas office head and w. supervisor, 2 (100%) sub city supervisor and

were females. This shows that such a low female participation in the school leadership and in sub

city and Woreda education office:

This shows that it can be stated that almost the majority of the respondents were capable to give

reliable information about school based on instructional supervision. Regarding the respondents

field of specialization, as shown in Table 1 item 4, 1(50%), 1(50%) of sub city office heads and

supervisor. have been specialized in natural science, social science respectively. 3(50%), 2

(33.3%) 1 (16.7%) of woreda office heads and supervisors have been specialized in natural

science language and literature, social science respectively. Whereas 9 (50%) 4 (22.22%) 5

(27.8%) of principals and assistance principals have been specialized in natural science,

Language and literature social science respectively. Both department heads and teachers what the

same above mentioned.

Page 38: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--38

This shows that all of educational administrators were specialized in natural science, social

science and language and literature. Respondents had no specialization in EDPM. Their

competence of providing supervisory services may not be as efficient and effective as those who

had the exposition of the discipline in the department. Hence, fields of specialization in terms of

relevance for the placement of skilled in educational planning and management were not

observed both at executive level and at school level.

The final items in the same table indicate that 5 (6.25%) of teachers, 6 (16.7) department heads

16 (88.9%) of principals and assistance principals 6 (100%) of sub-city office head and

supervisor have been serving between 1-5 work experience on teaching and administration works

20 (25%)of teachers, 6 (7.40%) of department heads, principals and assistance principals have

been serving between 6-10 years. 15 (18.75%) teachers have been serving between 11-15 years.

19(23.75%) of teachers, 11 (30.6%) department heads have been serving between 16-20 on

teaching and department heads. 21 (26.25%) of teachers, 9 (25%) of department heads have been

serving between 21-25 years and 3 (8.3%) of teachers and department heads works as teachers

and department heads. This shows that except tope and middle executives, the majority of

respondents have long term service years in the teaching and department heads areas.

According to the information provided under item 1 of table 2, 5 (62.5%) of education officials,

13(72.2%) of principals 44 (55%) of teachers replied that the main objectives of SBIS, to know

the needs and activities of the students were high. It indicate that both managers and teachers

were clearly understand the main objectives of SBIS, while 3 (37.5%) education officials, 5

(27.78%) of principals, 36 (45% of teachers were medium understanding of knowing the needs

and activates of the students. Hence we should have to strive to acquaint the gape and sub parts

of SBIS objective. However, it was satisfactory numbers of respondent obtained from the issue.

Item 2 of table 2 shows that 4 (50%) of education officials, 9 (50%) of principals, 55 (69%) of

teachers responded that the main objectives of SBIS were to improve positive internal

relationship they point out high 3 (37.5%) of education officials, 7 (38.9%) of principals, 15

(19%) of teachers were responded medium and 1 (12%) education officials 2 (11.1%) of

principals, 10(12%) of teachers were low about the main objectives of SBIS. The figure shows

that the respondents have positive knowledge about the issues to improve positive internal

relationship indeed the kind of relationship between them will influence their performance. All

of them should have optimistic attitude towards positive internal relationship.

According to item 3 table, 2 shows that 5, (62.5%) of education officials, 11 (61.1%) of

principals, 50 (62.5%) of teachers responded the main objectives of the SBIS to help teachers to

have positive attitude towards supervision they point out high, while 3 (37.5%) of education on

officials, 5 (27.0%) of principals, 25 (31.3%) of teachers were responded medium 2 (11.1%) of

principals, 5,5(6.2%) of teachers were responded low, similarly, item 4 of the same table

indicates that the view to help and advice teacher to be competent enough on their profession and

to become better teacher responded on this view 5 (62.5%) of education officials, 11 (61.1%)

principals, 50 (62.5%) of teachers responded high about the issue, while 3 (37.5%) education

officials, 5 (27.8%) of principals, 25(31.2%) of teachers medium about the issue and 2 (11.1%)

of principals, 5 (6.2%) of teachers were responded low about the issue. This indicates most of

education officials, and principals and teachers have positive attitude towards supervision.

While, some of them need professional development interims of their positive attitude towards

supervision.

Regarding item 5 of table 2 which shows to help teachers be aware of educational objectives in

line with this 3 (37.5%) of education officials, 5 (27.8%) of principals, 55(68.8%) of teachers

were responded high, whereas, 5 (62.5%) of teachers responded high whereas, 5 (62.5%) of

education officials, 11(61.1%) of principals, 25 (31.2%) of teachers were medium about the

issue. Accordingly 2 (11.1%) of principals were responded low about the same issue. The figure

shows that education officials and principals should help teachers be aware of educational

Page 41: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--41

objectives advising and assisting teachers because the numbers are more on medium but on the

teacher side more number in high position hence, most of teachers the main objective of SBIS

focuses on helping teacher be aware of educational objectives.

Item 6 of table 2 shows 4 (50%) of education officials, 8 (50%) of principals, 40 (50%) of

teachers attitude towards the main objectives of SBIS is to plan for educational activities replied

high, while, 4 (50%) of education officials, 8 (50%) of principals, 40 (50%) of teachers replied

medium about the issue. This shows both education official including principal and teaches fifty

percent i.e. high and medium. Indeed plan for educational activities help teachers and students to

solve problems and enhance instructional performance for problem solving.

Item 7 of table 2 shows the main objectives of SBIS is to co-ordinate the improvement and

development of curriculum in line of this issue, 5 (62.5%) of education officials, 12 (66.7%) of

principals, 15 (18%) of teachers were responded high about the issue, while, 3 (37.5%) of

education official, 6 (33.3%) principals, 60 (75%) of teachers have medium attitude about the

issue, and 5 (6.2%) of teachers low perception about the issue.

This shows most of the respondent have good understanding about the issues except some

education officials and principals but, most of teachers responded medium in addition to low

attitudes towards the main objectives of SBIS particularly the issue of item seven indicate rather

than coordinate the improvement and development of curriculum supervision position used

personal evaluation.

The use of the educational diagnosis supervision not used personal evaluation it is directed

towards helping the teachers and student teaching learning the content and the methods of

practice. It aims to promote intellectual teaching and learning process, which is dependent on the

integration of appropriate feelings. From the beginning the student is guided in to gaining some

self awareness of his attitudes and reactions. Lucillen Austin and et.al (1965).

Table 3. Item 1.1 lists techniques used during classroom and respondents were asked their rates

of occurrence. Accordingly, item 1, indicates that the occurrence of making mutual agreement on

the lesson /period be observed 23 (37.1%) of education officials, 30 (37.5%) of teachers replied

it occurred frequently, 31 (50%) of top and middle executives, 50 (62.5%) of teachers were

replied that it occurred sometimes, while, 8 (12.9%) of education officials responded that this

type of mutual agreement on the lesson never occurred in their schools. Similarly, item 2 of the

same table shows that 39 (62.9%) of education officials, 50 (62.5%) of teachers responded that

making mutual agreement or the lesson /period be observed/ frequently in the schools where as,

19 (30.6%) of education officials, 30 (37.5%) of teachers replied that it occurs sometimes. While

4 (6.5%) of education officials responded that this kind of opportunity given to mention areas

never be observed. From these we can infer that these types of opportunity given to mention

areas to be observed frequently in most of schools. Item 1.3 of table 3 shows 35 (56.5%) of

education officials, 30 (37.5%) of teachers responded that making mutual agreement on

objectives and methods frequently occurred in the schools while 27 (43.5%) of education

officials 50 (62.5%) of teachers replied techniques of SBIS their mutual agreement on objectives

and methods occurred sometimes it is the same as the above issues.

Accordingly, Item 2.1 in the same table shows. During classroom observation activities that

occur at schools 16 (25.8%) of education officials, 50 (62.5%) of teachers replied observing the

lesson frequently while 38 (61.2%) of education officials, 30 (48.5%) of teachers responded

during classroom observation the lesson sometimes did, 8 (10%) of education officials responded

that daring classroom observation activities never done this shows that during classroom

observation activities on observing the lesson sufficiently were bellow sometimes occurred in the

schools.

Item 2.2 shows that 31 (50%) of education officials, 60 (75%) of teachers replied observing

noting down important points during classroom observation activities occurred frequently in

their school 23 (37.1%) of education officials, 20 (25%) of teachers replied that during classroom

observation the activities of noting down important points sometimes occurred and in their

schools from these we can infer that during classroom observation the activities of noting down

important points were less than sometimes occurred.

Page 44: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--44

Item 2.3 in table 3. shows that 27 (43.5%) of education officials, 40 (50%) of teachers replied

that during classroom observation activities encouraging teachers to observe their own action

frequently occurred in their schools, while 35 (56.5%) of education officials 40 (50%) of

teachers responded that during classroom observation activities encouraging teachers to observe

their own action sometimes occurred in their schools.

This shows that from the total number more than half of top and middle executive encouraging

teachers to observe their own action replied sometimes but teachers replied equally i.e.

frequently and sometimes.

Item 3.1 in table 3 shows that 31 (50%) of education officials, 45 (56%) of teachers replied that

post classroom observation conference activities opportunity given to the teachers to clarify the

lesson observed frequently where as 31 (50%) of education officials 35 (44%) of teachers replied

the same question sometimes occurred. From the same table item 3.2 shows that 31 (50%) of

education officials, 50 (62.5%) of teachers were replied the activates discussing on the actual

classroom observation frequently occurred. While 31 (50%) of education officials, 30 (48.5%) of

teachers replied that the activities of discussing on the actual class room observation sometimes

occurred. We can infer that more than half of teachers it occurs frequently but the executive

replied that equally.

Item 3.3 shows that 27 (43%) of education officials, 40 (50%) of teachers replied that during post

classroom observation conference executives we would provide feedback to teachers were

frequently occurred where as 35 (56.5%) of education officials, 40 (50%) of teachers were

replied that the activates of post classroom observation providing feed back to teachers

sometimes occurred in the school. From the figure we can infer that provision of feed back to

teachers during post classroom observation conference activates on the side of teachers fifty on

both frequently and sometimes occurred in the school but on the side of executives more than

half sometimes occurred in the school.

Item 3.4 in the same table shows 16 (25.8%) of education officials, 20 (25%) of teachers were

replied arranging time for later discussion during post classroom observation conference

activities frequently classroom observation conference activities frequently occurred in the

school. While, 38 (61.2%) of education officials, 60 (75%) of teachers replied in the same issue

sometimes occurred in the schools, While 8 (10%) of education officials, 30 (48.5%) of teachers

during post class room observation conference activities keeping profile of teachers that occurred

frequently in the school. The figure indicate that more than half of the teachers denied the issue

i.e. sometimes they school

Table 4: Teachers Perception of SBIS

Table 4 shows the purpose of school based supervision use of respondents on SBIS improve

teaching learning process. In item 1 of the same table shows that principals and supervisors

ability in recognizing and respecting teacher’s personality during post observation. Accordingly,

51 (63.8%) of teachers agreed up on the issue, 22 (27.5%) of them replied that they were

moderately agreed too, 7 (8.7%) of them were responded that this was never happen in their

schools. School leaders should likely to enhance teachers sense of personal accomplishment,

when they provided feedback to teachers, respect their works rewarded them for successful

participation.

classroom observation of course should not only facilitating but help the teachers for

improvement of instructional performance.

focus on curriculum development and improvement in line with this, 50 (62.5%) of teachers

agreed, while, 30 (37.5%) of them moderately agreed on the issue. This shows that more than

half teachers without doubt agreed up on the issue.

Lucille N.Austil and et al (1965), The higher mental processes of logical though the ability to

discriminate and to generalize may be impeded by emotional conflicts that absorb the individual

in un conscious fantasies and lend to an excessive use of regressive defenses and symptoms. A

large part of knowledge must be mastered through acceptance of the tested experience of others.

Such acceptance is furthered by a positive relationship between the supervisor and teacher.

Teachers, principals & supervisors work together for a communal goal. Because the kind of

relationship between them will influence their performance. As teachers are core components of

the teaching-learning process the school leaders including the supervisors are expected to create

conductive working environment in order to enable teachers to perform their duties with great

devotion.

According to the information provided under item 1 of table 6, 1 (50%) of sub city office head

and supervisor, 2 (33.3%) of Woreda office heads and supervisors, 6 (33.3%) of principals and

assistant principals, 13 (36.1%) of department heads, 45(56.3%) of teachers were replied that the

essentiality of supervision in primary school was high While, 1 (50%) of sub city office head and

supervisor, 4 (66.7%) of Woreda office heads and supervisors, 12 (66.7%) of principals and

assistant principals, 36 (100%) of department heads and 80 (100%) of teachers responded that

they were aware of the classroom observation program ahead of time and they plan with

supervisors and also managers plan from the lowest to the highest but 27(33.7%) of teachers

replied that they were not aware of class room observation program ahead of time and they do

not plan with supervisors. From this we understand that majority of school administrator,

Woreda education office head and sub city office head and supervisors they are aware of the

classroom observation program ahead of time but not teachers to know the issue which

mentioned about and they do not plan in collaboration with supervisors.

As shown on item 3 of table 6, 2 (100) of sub city office head and supervisor, 6 (100%) of

woreda office heads and supervisors, 18 (100%) of principals and assistant principals, 36 (100%)

of department heads, 80 (100%) of teachers replied that they were aware of the classroom

observation program ahead of time and they plan with supervisors and also managers plan from

the lowest to the highest. But 27 (33.7%) of teachers replied that they were not aware of

classroom observation program ahead of time and they do not plan supervisors. From this we

understand that majority of school administrators, woreda education office head and sub city

office head supervisors they are aware of the classroom observation program ahead of time

teachers to know the issue which mentioned above and they do not plan in collaboration with

supervisors.

As indicated on item 4 of table 6, 1 (16.7%) of Woreda office heads and supervisors, 2 (11.1%)

of principals and assistant principals, 3 (8.3%) of department heads, 7 (8.8%) of teachers replied

that the main focusing point of classroom observation is on specific teaching process while 2

process. All respondent omitted that the focusing point of classroom observation is only on

weakness of the teachers from this we understand that from the issue top, middle, and lower

manager also teachers believe that the focusing point is on general teaching learning process the

notion of vast majority of the respondent.

Item 5 of table 6 reveals on frequency and implementation of supervision between teachers and

executives, accordingly 1 (50%) of sub city office head and supervisor, 2 (33.3%) of Woreda

office heads and supervisors 5 (27.8%) of principals and assistant principals, 11 (30.6%) of

department heads and 50 (62-5%) of teaches responded that the frequency of supervisory visits

and assistant principals, 8(22.2%) of department heads, and 16 (20%) of teachers replied that the

frequency of supervisory visits in three times a years in their schools, while 1 (50%) of sub city

office heads, 3 (50%) of Woreda office heads and supervisors, 9 (50%) of principals and

This shows that all listed problems have their own negative impact on the supervision activity. If

we want to prioritize sequential orders by observing numbers and percentile for the problems that

hinder the role of supervision. So the weakness can be concluding

cumulative of all these problems.

From this, we understand there is no only one solution for the problem mentioned, even when we

change the problem into positive manner which mentioned in the prime table (7) by increasing

our efficiency and effectiveness in instructional supervision we can achieve our goals and

objectives.

Indeed, by combining these solutions available, it is possible to come to solution even though we

do not dissolve the mentioned problem totally but we can reduce it at high level. To acquire

supervisory skills, of course, is as difficult as learn to be a skilful worker. Training for

Page 57: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

supervision has not received adequate professional attention. Planning for more adequate training

in the future is an essential not a luxury. Learning new methods from the educational field,

adapting research work principles to education, moving into positions that currently are

identified with status and authority, are challenges that must be met by the field. Learning to

supervise under supervision is the most effective way of gaining the requisite skills.

Chapter Four

4. Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations

This chapter attempts to deal with the summary of the findings, the conclusion drawn, and the

recommendations suggested for solution.

4.1. Summary

This study dealt with an assessment of school based instructional supervision in selected

government primary school of yeka sub-city, in Addis Ababa woredas. The intention of the study

was twofold. The first was problems that affect the effectiveness of school supervision identified.

The second intentions were to suggest possible solutions to the problems identified.

In the attempt to study the problems and in order to provide a sound basis for an objective

assessment and correct understanding of the actual situation of the problem the following basic

questions were raised.

1. What are the main objectives and techniques of school based instructional supervision in

primary school?

2. How efficiently do school management use school based. Instructional supervision to

improve teaching learning process?

3. How do teachers perceive school based supervision?

4. What problems are seen in school based supervision?

5. What measures could be undertaken to solve the problems?

The study was conducted in six primary school in four woredas, one sub city education office.

The subjects of the study were including education officials both sub city and woreda, principals,

department heads and senior teaches, and teachers. Data was obtained from these sample

respondents through a survey questionnaire, which was tested in two schools and refined for

distribution out do one hundred forty two respondents hundred percent of them returned properly

filled out questionnaires. Hence, the summaries of the major findings are the following.

Concerning the rationale for school based instructional supervision the majority of the five study

group, asserted that more than half of the teachers in the selected schools are female, males

Page 59: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--59

occupied almost positions with the exceptions of principals and assistant principals occupied by

females. The majority of the principals and almost all of the supervisors are occupied by males.

All of the sub city supervisor and office head, woreda supervisors and office heads were

BA/BCS holders. Whereas half of principals and assistant principals were both diploma and

BA/BSC holders. All educational administrators and supervisors were not specialized in

educational planning and management

Almost all education officers, supervisors and teachers have a high perception on the main

objectives of SBIS i.e. to know the needs and activities of the students both responded by them.

The main objectives of SBIS on the side of education officials in terms of improving positive

internal relationship more than half of the respondents were medium and low perception

education official and teachers have good perception on to help and advice teacher to be

competent enough on their profession and to become better teacher except few teachers.

Most of the teachers’ high perception on to help teachers be aware of educational objectives

education officers more than half of them have medium perception on the same issues. Half of

education officers and teachers have high and medium perception on the main objectives of SBIS

to plan for educational activities

Most of educational officials and principals understanding about the main objectives of SBIS. It

is coordinate the improvement and development of curriculum. But some education officials and

principals medium understanding on the main objectives both medium and low perception about

the same issues we can summarized that the term some the numbers is significant because single

supervisors, they lead many teachers, hence, those leaders and majority of teachers need

professional development

Almost all elementary schools applied the techniques models clinical supervision that include

pre-observation conference activates of observation, post observation conference, and planning

for improvement despite, the understanding and application of the techniques more focuses on

frequently and sometimes and some education officials never be observed. Form the figure we

can infer that provision of feed back to teachers during post classroom observation conference a

activity on the side of teachers fifty on both frequently and sometimes occurred in the school.

But on the side of executives more than half sometimes occurred in the schools.

Page 60: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--60

Almost all education official, principal and department heads agree about SBIS and teaching

learning process in the issues of a good supervisor has instructional vision self confident self

planed, respecting teachers, profession believe on respect in and development can create

friendship atmosphere with teachers

Almost all the respondents indicated the existence major problems, of instructional supervision

accordingly, lack of trained man power, less understanding about instructional supervision,

implementation problem, on organizational structure in the school, not planning collectively

before class room observation in addition to other problems, on the side other almost all the five

groups of respondent indicate that hinder the role of supervision in giving support for teachers,

and supervisors such as give adequate training, allocate budget, develop cooperative and

harmony work, placement of skilled in EDPM personal Subject teachers

4.2. Conclusion

Though the school based instructional supervision has become an essential element of our

educational system with the objective of improvement of quality of teaching learning and

enhancing mutual learning. This aim and goal of instruction as supervision is to bring about

sound improvement in the education system at large it is a source of inspiration. Guidance and

assistance of school personnel. It observed the short coming of respondents from the majority of

questions which rose during the survey study.

The capability to manage educational activity is based on the extent to which utilization of

supervisory leader ship skills and etchers. However, it was revealed that school based

supervisors are placed without training for job. Consequently, inadequate supervisory skills have

been perceived in schools and supervisor is found to inefficient in giving the expected

instructional support. As a result of this, we can’t achieve what we expect from the system.

Evidently, school supervisors are part of the technical level. As such they are concerned

primarily with teaching and learning, and also became the resource fullness in relation with

instruction and curriculum but not a line function. Their idea of expertise is curriculum and

instruction; their job is to help their colleagues improve the teaching learning process. They need

to do this activity in a conducive environment and assists in budgetary control and supervision.

However, effects of deficient organizational structure conflict and low motivation and morale of

the teacher, late and in appropriated decisions, . In addition to less capacity of supervisors, less

commitment of teachers on their duties, not planning collectively before class room observation

etc. constraints are major problems

While the government has committed a substantial budget to education, this not been translated

in to effective out puts of educational products on the system, efficient and skilled educational

leader were not available in primary schools or it is not appointed qualified and capable

education leaders including females which trained in EDPM all appropriate levels not observed

in executive and supervisory level and relatively good in school level. Generally the respondents

concluded in all education officials, principals and supervisors had no specialization in EDPM

their competence of providing supervisory services may not be as efficient and as those who had

the exposition of the discipline in the department

Page 62: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--62

It is indicated that instructional supervision has many functions, which are indispensable for the

effectiveness of the teaching learning performance of teachers. Follow up and coordinating

teachers, evaluating educational results; by closer observation over teachers enables teachers to

support their work through action research; and promoting staff development and facilitating

Curriculum development However, as stated by the respondents these functions of supervision

have vital value to improve instructional programs, their practical application so as to contribute

for the effectiveness of the instructional programs at the primary schools of Yeka sub city more

was not totally agreed. More over to be goods supervisor has instructional vision self confident,

self planned, respecting teachers profession believe on reaches and development can create

friend ship atmosphere with teachers.

As a result of this, SBIS could not be implemented effectively and properly. We can understand

form the respondent response there is no only one solution for the problem mentioned. By

combining these solutions available, it is possible to come to solution even though we do not

dissolve the mentioned problem totally but we can reduce it at high level if we entirely identify

the problem.

--63

4.3. Recommendations

Based on the summery of the findings of the study the following possible recommendations are

forwarded.

- Even though the manual states the objective of SBIS accurately like properly

implemented at school it has not been properly implemented at school site level.

Therefore actions should be taken by sub city education office and woreda education

office in cooperation with school administration and community to improve the

implementation of the policy and objectivist school level. The actions include creating

awareness on different options of supervision building institutional executive capacity,

motivate staff moral, enhance participation of stake holders to design, plan and

implement the program etc.

- In built supervision whose strategy is to promote and sustain the basic principles of

Ethiopian training policy, professionalism, democratization and decentralization at the

school level and which has been supported by finding and conclusion made clear that the

teachers respondents expressed the main objectives of SBIS not fully understand the

application of the objectives.

- In line with this the education office supervision with evaluation activity has developed

in teacher a negative perception towards supervision and leads the hindrance to

exercising SBIS in schools. Therefore awareness Creation and training should be given to

reconcile the theory and practice of supervision in our primary schools. This should be

facilitated by creating conducive atmosphere including the enhancement of willingness of

the administration cooperation of teachers and other relevant measures for improvement

supervision activity.

The outcomes of this study revealed that the supervisory leadership of the supervisor were found

to be efficient as reported by teachers and education officials hence, those individuals who are

supposed to conduct supervision must be offered in service training formally in the area of

monitoring and evaluation, leadership motivation process controlling and informally through

service training experience shoring discussion, surveying and other relevant methods to upgrade

their professional competency. The training program can be planned and organized by Woreda

and sub city education office.

Page 64: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--64

The education office should be able to recognize the need for formation of a supervision unit at

school site level in order to devolve school based instructional supervision system and strengthen

the program by providing competent man power and instructional material.

The education office is expected to solve major problems encountered in the implementation of

school based instructional supervision, school personnel should oriented about concepts,

principles, techniques, skill in order to be active participant in supervisory activity and able to

achieve better performance. In order to address survey study collaboration between all

stakeholders, remedies have been made into the following.

Remedy to the ministry of education Identify good educational leaders and ensure that they are

rewarded for their work. This will act as an incentive to remain in post and not move to other

positions, Organizational structure clearly define the roles responsibilities at each level of the

education (from ministry of education to school level) to clarify the boundary between them,

Develop and implement consistent performance evaluation.

Remedy to regional Education Bureau Expand Teachers’ participation in policy, research,

curriculum and textbook preparation enough workshops and forces, Ensure that the teaches’

guides, syllabus and curriculum materials are printed and distributed in enough quantity and in

time for school to use them, Provide training for all teachers, supervisors, principals, and

education officials on a consistent basis, monitor where training has been given (for example,

which education leaders have received leadership and management program (LAM) training and

regularly evaluate whether the loathing the training is being implemented in schools.

Remedy to woredas and sub city, Hold regular workshops and meeting to gain teachers’

opinions on policy and as a method of dissemination, as well as a way of involving teachers in

decision-making processes, Encourage cluster-based supervision and experience sharing both

within a cluster and from other clusters, Allocate sufficient budget to upgrade school libraries

laboratories class rooms water sanitation, toilets and other facilities, Appoint qualified and

capable education leaders including females which trained in EDPM (all appropriate levels).

Page 65: Berhanu tadesse taye_senior_essay_corrected_version

--65

Remedy to principals Encourage dialogue between supervisors and teachers and others foster

closer links through inclosing participation, Build the confidence of the teachers and SBIS for

the improvement of the education, Encourage democratic leadership and participation, and

encourage student and teacher voice, Conduct teacher performance appraisals in relation to

improving teaching and learning using a clear and transparent process; ensure training in

application to all members of staff , Ensure a fair and transparent system of selection for

workshops training and upgrading is used, Demonstrate accountability and responsibility for the

teaching and learning in your school by implementing systems that allow for tow way feedback.

Set up a cluster of schools that can share learning and generate local solutions to problems.

Remedy to teachers Promote openness to change and commitment to learning, taking

responsibility for your profession and being committed to strengthening it, conduct regular

discussion to understand clearly the context you are facing at a school local level, be proactive in

participating in the education system, for example work cooperatively with school supervisors

and management to help affect change.

Remedy to student Work with teachers to improve the teaching and learning process through

dialogue, student councils sharing the experience of learning with teachers and promote student

peer support work with schools teachers and leaders to alleviate problems facing schools.
