A. Definition of educational supervision
In our daily talks, supervision founded when someone watches a person or activity and makes
certain that everything is done correctly, safely, or well done.
• Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet (2006: 225) supervision is a quintessential interpersonal interaction with the
general goal that one person, the supervisor, meets with another, the supervisee, in an effort to make the latter
more effective in helping people.
• Mary Connor and Julia Pokora (2007: 49), The Association of Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision
(APECS) refers to supervision as ‘the relationship between the coach and a qualified person who is not in any
managerial relationship with the coach wherein the coaching work with particular clients may be discussed in
strict confidence with the purpose of enhancing the quality of the coaching work and of ensuring client safety’.
• The Association for Coaching (AC) supervision is a supervision is a formal arrangement for maintaining adequate
standards of coaching provision, ‘it is also a supportive process. Supervision has sometimes been called “Super
Vision” as a way of demonstrating that it is not restrictive or prescriptive but rather a process for increasing
creativity’. 2
• Wiley (2004: 11) , Supervision is a means of offering to teachers, in a collegial, collaborative,
and professional setting, specialized help in improving instruction and thereby student
achievement.
We may conclude that educational supervision is professional guidance for teachers. Professional
guidance provides an opportunity for them to grow professionally. They are going to advance in
their job, i.e. to improve and enhance student learning.
There are several principles that can be used in carrying out educational supervision. They are
scientific, democratic, cooperative, constructive and creative.
Scientific includes systematic, objective and instrument usage. Systematic means implemented
on a regular basis, planning, and sustainable.
Democratic means upholding the principles of deliberation, have a strong hospitality and able to
accept others' opinions.
Cooperative means cooperation of all staff in data collection, data analysis and development of
teaching-learning process should be done the way cooperation of all school staff.
Constructive and creative mean to assist the initiative of teachers. They encourage teachers to
actively create an atmosphere where everyone feels safe and free to develop its potential.
