THE TRADITIONAL AND MODERN CONCEPT
OF ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION
TRADITIONAL
MODERN
To have a vivid picture of the modern trend in school administration and supervision, it is
necessary to briefly discuss its traditional concept
...
Teachers are expected to listen
to administrators and supervisors, and to carry their directives without questions
...
Traditional administration and supervision place
more emphasis upon techniques and the use of subjective devices and autocratic procedures
...
Administration & Supervision in Schools
8
Traditional administrators and supervisors consider themselves as experts and work outside
of the group under their control and supervision
...
Early in the history of school administration and supervision, operations were largely on a
personal and practical basis
...
The conception of administration and supervision during those times reflected the existing
practices in business and industry whereby the manager, with the approval of the board of
directors, determined the policy and directed the operation of the company and the work of its
employees
...
In other words, the concept of administration and supervision has gradually moved from the
improvement of instruction to the improvement of the learning process
...
Modern administration and supervision see
education
...
Facts and information are secured using
scientific and objective devices
...
Interdependence and cooperation are the
essential characteristics of modern administration and supervision
...
Integration of school and community activities calls for democratic
leadership which functions in a group situation through cooperative action
...
It can also be said that modern administration and supervision are considerably broader n
their scope and functions than were encompassed in their earlier concepts and practices
...
The traditional and modern concepts of school administration and supervision can be
summarized as follows:
TRADITIONAL
Based on the philosophy that the teacher is
the center of administrative and supervisory
activities
Subjected
Individualistic and regimented
Puts more emphasis on techniques
Practices leadership through compulsion,
coercion, and imposition
Regards classroom visitation as an isolated
activity from other projects
MODERN
Recognizes the child and its growth
Based on facts and utilize scientific and
modern devices and procedures
Socialistic and cooperative
Based on principles
Practices democratic leadership through
stimulation, direction, and guidance
Covers the whole teaching-learning factors
which are resident in the pupils, in the
teachers, in the administrators and
supervisors, and in the school

THE NEW TREND IN
CLASSROOM VISITATION
It is essential that before a school or district begins a classroom visitation program,
everybody is clear about what to expect and what their role is to be in the process
...
Implemented well, each of the visitation models can play a significant role
in school improvement
...
The majority of research discovered was feedback provided by teachers to students (Chen,
Whittinghill, & Kadlowec, 2010; Ferguson, 2011; Souter, 2009; Southworth, 2010)
...
Quality feedback should be a process where all parties feels comfortable both giving and
receiving feedback (Getzlaf et al
...
Bloom (2007) offered
suggestions as to how structured observations could be done well and noted that it is important for
everyone to be involved in all aspects of the process
...

PLANNING THE SUPERVISORY
OBSERVATION
Planning is an essential part of all management work
...
What is Planning?
Planning has to do with studying all the factors in a business situation and arranging them
so that desired results can be achieved
...
2) Elaboration - the essential elements of a plan may be rather simple and may be stated
concisely
...
4) Conceptual foresight - some people tend to see things, events, and situations in detail;
others see over all needs, consequences, essence s, and values
5) Originality - if often takes originality or creativity to use established knowledge or
knowledge or experience to create new patters of thought or action
...
Everything
in life begins with an idea
...
What Should Be Planned?
1
...
2
...
3
...
4
...
5
...
Too often the
supervisor overlooks or doesn’t use the resources which are available to him
...
Methods and Procedures - there is no one best way of doing anything
...
7
...
8
...
Such tools
include machines as well as the miscellaneous collection of gadgets which workers need
...
Supplies and Materials - in the most efficient shops much planning is done to assure the
proper flow of supplies and materials
...
10
...
There is never enough
of it
...
11
...
12
...
Available funds or allocations must be used so that
maximum return is received
...
Work - there comes a time when all of the planning that is done must be translated into
terms of work to be performed
...
Timing of improvements - business is subject to constant changes, and the installation of
new methods, equipment, programs, and the like requires planning to assure minimum
upset when changes are made
...
The Philippine Educational aims should be kept clearly in mind by school administrators
and supervisors
...
2
...
3
...
School
should provide conditions favorable to children’s growth, and supervision therefore must be so
organized and administered as to make this growth possible
...
4
...
The true function of teaching is to provide the best stimuli so that
the best learning may take place
...
The test of effective learning is productive learning
...
To make teaching and learning more effective, the supervisor must have a thorough
knowledge of the learning process and a broad knowledge of the psychological principles

...
It puts
emphasis on the development of thinking, initiative and responsibility
...
Importance of constructive approach: The result of classroom observation should be
positive, preventive, and constructive
...
” Classroom should be
done with the aim to help the teacher and the pupils, or to promote good teaching and learning
...
Danger of premature evaluation: Evaluation should not be done or given right away
...
The supervisor should be on guard
against rash comment
...
Comments
should on actual facts
...
Observation is not an isolation: Classroom observation should not be used as the only
measure of evaluating teaching and learning
...
It should be correlated with other procedures
...
Too much expectation: The supervisor should not expect too much from a single
observation
...
Scientific observation is based on facts
...
5
...
The achievement of the pupil should be the criteria of classroom
observation
...
Poor results may be due to inherent factors – inexperience teacher, low mentality of the pupils or
lack of instructional materials
...
The teacher who are afraid of the supervisor’s presence should not be visited at once
...
Effort should be made to
convince the new teacher not to fear being observed
...
Enter the classroom quietly
...
Many supervisory visit have been spoiler at the
outset because of the manner in which the supervisor entered the classroom
...
2
...
The Supervisor must study the teacher and his teaching carefully in order to be genuinely
helpful
...
In studying the work,
it is necessary to secure objective data, after a careful analysis and interpretations of facts
...
Do not criticize the teacher before or within teaching and learning process
...
The supervisor should
show only interest, courteous, and self-effacing behavior, no matter what his inner response may
be
...
Do not butt in during recitation
...
He may do so through the request of
the permission of the teacher
...
5
...
The supervisor must preserve the impersonal objective, and scientific attitude during the
period of observation and consultation
...
One chief criticism against supervision in the past, is that the supervisor very often did not
know the facts
...
6
...
The supervisor must not criticize the error of the teacher if he has no solutions to offer
...
7
...
The supervisor must know that democratic leadership must be based on respect for the
personality and opinion of the teacher and the pupils
...
The supervisor must give the teacher opportunity to ask
Administration & Supervision in Schools
32
questions and discuss some supervisory problems
...
8
...
The supervisor must concentrate on one or two items at a time
...
Routine matter must be discussed during the
conference
...
Keep some form of the visitation record
...
A record of activities and
things observed is only safe basis for a professional discussion
...
Leave the classroom quietly

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD
SUPERVISORY NOTE
There may be some adjustments before a new supervisor is fully accepted by the workforce,
but choosing someone with the right skill set can make the adjustment seamless
...
A confident supervisor with good people skills keeps the team on track and resolves
issues before they turn into problems
...
The supervisor can accomplish that task with efficiency by providing clear direction that
tells the workers exactly what’s expected of them
...
Timely communications regarding procedural changes and team targets keep everyone on
the same page and maintain a smooth workflow
...
Listening is an essential part of communicating
...
With a good grasp of the situation, the supervisor can
respond in a way that is appropriate, constructive and respectful of the employee
...
excellent communication skills are an invaluable asset
...
A supervisor who maintains a positive attitude, behaves with consideration and
consistently treats employees fairly is likely to see positive work behaviors in return
...
Engaged employees are more productive employees
...
The supervisor who takes the time to walk around and greet staff each morning
is seen as more approachable
...
This early warning gives supervisors the opportunity
to ward off problems and prevent flagging morale
...
A boss connects with staff when she shares a story about her grandchild’s birthday party
...
Self-Confidence Inspires Confidence in Others
To motivate their teams, leaders have to demonstrate leadership qualities
...
Displays of indecision, a lack of knowledge and an inability to delegate undermine a
supervisor’s effectiveness
...
Administration & Supervision in Schools
35
PRINCIPLES TO BE OBSERVED IN
GIVING SUGGESTIONS
Specific & Descriptive
Feedback should be clearly stated, specific, and based on what is observed; both the action
and the impact of the action
...
Feedback should refer to
behavior that can be changed
...
Focused on Positive
Effective feedback highlights the positive contributions the receiver makes while not
ignoring areas for improvement
...
Collaborative/Coaching
If the purpose of the feedback is to facilitate a change in behavior or action, the change that
occurs and the means by which that change occurs should be based on a collaborative discussion
between the provider and the receiver
...
It is not the Provider’s role to tell and receiver what has to happen or what should happen,
but to facilitate the receiver developing their own solution
...
Caring
Feedback should be offered with the intent of assisting the other person with creating
positive change or reinforcing positive behavior
...
Checked for Understanding
Before closing the feedback discussion, check to ensure that both parties are leaving the
discussion with a fair and accurate understanding of the behavior and actions that occurred

USEFUL PRACTICES IN IMPROVING THE
THE TEACHING LEARNING SITUATIONS
A Teacher plays a very important role in a student’s life

...
Classrooms learning method is considered as one of the effective methods of learning
...
It is very
necessary that a teacher must adapt teaching techniques that ensure effective learning opportunities
and produces a lot of educational benefits
...
A good teaching technique will help the students to learn and memorize lessons faster
and will increase the chances of success
...
Students must feel connected with the teachers
...
This
will help students to understand the areas which need a lot of efforts

THE IMPORTANCE OF TESTS AND
MEASUREMENT IN SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION
Test and Measurement helps in collection of data which further helps in evaluating the
learners’ ability separately
...
TEST
It’s an instrument used to examine someone’s knowledge of something to determine what
he or she knows or has learned
...
Tests results show student strengths
...
Tests results show student weaknesses
...
Quantifying of how much does learner learned
...
So it is
important to measure certain things right, distance, time, and accuracy are all great things
Administration & Supervision in Schools
40
to measure
...
Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments
or form theories
...
What is difference between test and measurement?
The test is specific instrument for measurement
...
Measurement is a technique necessary
for evaluation
...
IMPORTANCE OF TEST MEASUREMENT IN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION
The following are the importance of test measurement in school administration:
For getting knowledge about the progress of the students and the school
...
For knowing the abilities and capacities of the students and the school the personnel
...
For giving motivation
...
For research and experimentations
...
They are the main instrument used to evaluate your learning by most educational
institutions
...
Although it may seem that all tests are the same,
many different types of tests exist and each has a different purpose and style
The 4 Major Different Types of Testing
There are four types of testing in schools today— diagnostic, formative, benchmark, and
summative
...
Diagnostic Testing
This testing is used to “diagnose” what a student knows and does not know
...
The test covers topics students will be taught in the upcoming
lessons
...
Administration & Supervision in Schools
42
Diagnostic testing can be a helpful tool for parents
...
2
...
It is used throughout
a lecture and designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate that they have
understood the material, like in the example of the clock activity mentioned above
...
Schools normally do not send home reports on formative testing, but it is an important part
of teaching and learning
...
3
...
Benchmark
testing is given during or after a classroom focuses on a section of material, and covers
either a part or all of the content has been taught up to that time
...
Unlike diagnostic testing, students are expected to have mastered material on benchmark
tests, since they cover what the children have been focusing on in the classroom
...
This feedback is very important to parent, since it gives them insight into
exactly which concepts their children did not master
...
Summative Testing
This testing is used as a checkpoint at the end of the year or course to assess how many
content students’ learned overall
...
These tests are given— using the same process — to all students in a classroom, school, or
state, so that everyone has an equal opportunity to demonstrate what they know and what
they can do
...
Since summative tests cover the full range of concepts for a given grade level, they are not
able to assess any one concept deeply
...
Instead, these tests serve a final check that
students learned what was expected of them in a given unit
...
Each type of test differs according to its purpose, timing,
skill coverage, and expectations of students
...
First, using a diagnostic test, you can gauge what a student already knows and what she
Administration & Supervision in Schools
44
will need to learn in the upcoming unit
...
Then, a benchmark test can be used as an early
indicator of whether students have met the lesson’s goals, allowing parents and teachers to re-teach
concepts that the student may be struggling with
...
The summative testing provides that final confirmation
...
For example, in
language schools, placement tests are used to check a student’s language level through grammar,
vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and speaking questions
...
1
...
These tests only contain items which the students have been taught in class
...
Short-term progress tests check how well students have understood or learned material
covered in specific units or chapters
...
Long-term progress tests are also called Course Tests because they check the learner’s
progress over the entire course
...
Administratively, they are often the sole basis of decisions to promote to higher
level
...
Proficiency Tests
These tests check learner levels in relation to general standards
...
3
...
They
are often given at the end of a course in the form of a final exam
...
External Tests
External tests are those given by an outside body
...
5
...
Multiple-choice tests fall
into this group
...
6
...
Examples are essay questions and oral interviews

CRITERIA OF GOOD TESTS
Four (4) Main Characteristics of a Good Test
1
...
The test must really measure
what it has been designed to measure
...
Assessing the validity of any test requires careful selection of appropriate criterion measure
and that reasonable people may disagree as to which criterion measure is best
...
Reasonable people may disagree as to whether the best criterion measure of
intelligence in school grades, teacher ratings or some other measures
...
Once the criterion measures have been identified
people scores on the measures can be compared to their scores on the test and the degree of
correspondence can be examined for what it tells us about the validity of the test
...
Though we try for reliabilities of 90 or 60,
validities which have corrections between test scores and criterion measures are not higher than
that of several tests with low but significant validity can sometimes be useful, if they are given
together as a battery and their results are considered together
...
2
...
This means that the test should give similar results
even though different testers administrate it, different people scores in different forms of the test
are given and the same person takes that test at two or more different times
...
In actual practice, psychological tests are never perfectly reliable
...
Despite such real changes, the best intelligence test usually yields reliability correlation
coefficient of 90 or higher (where 1
...
00 indicates
number correspondence whatever
...
To
improve reliability, we should ensure that the test is administered and scored by a truly standard
procedure
...
3
...
This presupposes subjective factor
...
The recognition of the
Administration & Supervision in Schools
49
quality objectivity in a test has been largely responsible for the development of an arise and
objective type tests
...
As the name itself indicates they are based on
particular objective of teaching and evaluating
...
These tests are all comprehensives
...
Norms
In addition to reliability and validity good test needs norms
...
The scores obtained by these groups provide a basic for
interpreting any individual score
...
D
this is a “Good Score”, should the person be happy or unhappy
...
In fact, one of the first things a person in the factious situation might do is seek out others
who have taken the test to find out how his or her score compares to theirs
