The Effect of Educational Supervision Styles on Performance Effectiveness of Physical Education Teachers in Jordanian Public Schools from Teachers' Perspectives

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of educational supervision styles on performance effectiveness of physical education teachers in Jordanian public schools from teachers' perspectives. A purposive sample of (60) male and female physical education teachers was selected to participate in this study. They completed a 30-item questionnaire divided into six subscales after verifying its validity and reliability. The results showed that the degree of supervisory styles practiced by supervisors ranged from moderate to low. The classroom visit was the most practiced supervisory style, followed by evaluation, and individual interviews. All of them were moderately practiced, whereas, training courses, practical guidance, and research method procedures were practiced to lower degree. The study recommended conducting training courses and workshops for physical education supervisors to present them with modern methods of educational supervision and develop their abilities to use them.
