A Study On Fulfillment Levels Of Supervisory Duties Of School Principals In Primary Schools
Abstract
The goal of this study is to find out teacher perceptions regarding fulfillment levels of
supervisory duties of school principals in primary schools. A descriptive survey model has been
used in this study. Population of this study consists of 3719 teachers working at 70 primary
schools and 19 secondary schools in Maltepe district of Istanbul in 2014-2015. 422 teachers
working at 20 primary schools and 10 secondary schools constitute the sampling based on
homogenous scheme. In this study, an inventory of fulfillment levels of supervisory duties of
school principals has been used. Alpha value of the inventory was found as (.97) . Frequencies,
percentages, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t test and one- way analysis of variance
have been used for the data analysis. Based on results of the study, it was found that fulfillment
level of supervisory duties of school principals was ‘medium’ according to teacher perceptions.
For the sub-dimensions, it was found that school principals fulfill the duties of ‘supervising
teachers’ and ‘supervising education and instruction’ at the medium level whereas fulfillment
level of ‘supervising physical environment’ was found ‘high’. Significant differences were found
based on the variables of gender and age. Results of the study suggest that school principals be
engaged with more active supervisory activities and regular and systematic in-service training
programs should be implemented.
