Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to identify the degree of supervisory practices with supervisors in the schools of basic education and post basic education in the Sultanate of Oman.

The sample consisted of (434) educational supervisors, and (738) teachers from all governorates.

To gather data, a questionnaire consisted of (60) items was carried out.

The validity and reliability of the questionnaire was tested.

The study found a number of results.

The most important results were that the degree of supervisory practices with supervisors in the schools of basic education were significant in the main level area, while at the sub-level areas, the results were as the following : the "school visits, supervisor’s practices of his / her duties and responsibilities, classroom visits, and communication among supervisors" were found to be in the degree of a large practice, and the field of "supervisor’s quorum of schools," in the degree of medium practice.

The results showed no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α = 0.05) in the degree of supervisory practices attributed to the variables of gender and years of experience.

There were, however, statistically significant differences for the variables : occupation for the supervisory faculty on the teaching staff, and the educational governorate in some areas.

The study recommended that there is a need to focus on training programs that aim to develop the skills of educational supervisors in the technical aspects related to the roles, functions, and nature of their work, and away from the administrative work of routine nature.
