| description | Objective: The purpose of this research is to identify the dimensions and components of professional supervision of primary school principals.
Methods: This study was conducted within the framework of a qualitative paradigm utilizing the phenomenological method; for the identification and selection of research participants, both the purposeful sampling method and the snowball technique were employed, and the requisite information for the study was procured through semi-structured interviews.
Results: Data was collected from ten individuals (based on the theoretical saturation of elementary school principals in Bojnord city), and the information gathered from the interviews was subjected to analysis employing a corrective collage approach, revealing three categories: the characteristics of principals, the skills of principals, and the needs serving as foundational factors for professional supervision. Additionally, ten categories emerged regarding supervision practices, inclusive of meetings, classroom observations, effective and appropriate communication, innovation and change, the integration of new technologies, the assurance of school health and safety, the cultivation of motivation for professional development, fostering positive human relations, and the enhancement of student growth and development.
Conclusions: The classification of actions and strategies, alongside three categories concerning the inadequacy of tools and equipment, structural issues within the educational system, and the detrimental attitudes and perceptions of teachers regarding the lack of supervision, were identified as significant obstacles and challenges to professional supervision. |
