Background to the Study
Background to the Study
Supervision
is as old as the school system. Supervision has undergone series of evolution
since the colonial era. It is directed towards sustaining teaching and learning
process in the educational system. This is because education plays an essential
role in the growth and development of any nation socially, politically and
economically (Akinwumi, 2002). Ojogwo (2001) opines that supervision is the art
of overseeing the teaching-learning process making sure that the school is
administered and managed that will lead to an effective achievement of
educational objectives He stressed that supervision as a field of educational
practice with clearly delineated roles and responsibilities did not fall from
the sky fully formed, rather supervision emerged slowly as a distinct practice,
always in relation to the institutional academic, cultural and professional
dynamics that have historically generated to the complex agenda of schooling.

Kochhar
(2007) opines that the principal holds the major position on the supervision of
teachers through effective and efficient supervision of teachers’ lesson plan
and lesson note, punctuality, adherence to curriculum content, evaluation of
students and conduct of extra curricular activities he stressed that principal
as the head of a school is the architect of the quality of activities in the
schools and the quality of academic achievement of students and teachers
dedication to duties depend on the supervisory role of the principal.

It
becomes obvious that principal supervisory role should be done diligently in
order to influence teachers’ duties. The desired expectation in education could
only be achieved through effective and efficiency supervision since it creates
the awareness of sound education.

Raines
(2004) opines that overwhelming responsibilities and demands of the principal
professional positions are constant challenging. In this age of increased
accountability he added that principals are expected to manifest exemplary
performance in an ever increasingly number of fronts. One of such fronts is the
area of professional development of teachers under his command.

A
principal who performs his supervisory role is responsible for monitoring and
coordinating the activities of teachers and students in a friendly atmosphere.

The
International Institution for Educational Planning (IIEP) believes that the
broadest approach to understand “supervision services”, as covering all those
services whose main functions is to supervise, control, evaluate, advise, and
to support teachers and students. Nakpodia (2006) defined supervision as that
part of school administration which has particular pertinence for the
appropriateness of instructional expectation of educational programs.

Akinwumi
(2002) sees supervision as all efforts of designated school officials towards
providing leadership to teachers and non-teaching staff aiming at the
improvement of instruction. It involves the stimulation of instruction. It
involves the stimulation of professional growth and development of teachers, a
selection and revision of educational objectives, materials of instruction,
methods of teaching and the evaluation of instruction.

A
teacher is a person charged with the responsibility of helping others to learn
and behave in new and different ways. Teachers who are committed to work are
enthusiastic about their topic and delight in sharing what they have learnt. No
system of education can rise higher than its teachers. The way to child
centered education can only be through teacher. He stands at the most important
point in the educational process. Therefore the principal as a supervisor has
to constantly monitor or supervise the teachers in order for them to be
committed to their duties.

Fisher
(2012) asserted that effective supervision of teachers can reinforce and
enhance teachers’ commitment to duty, teaching practices that will contribute
to improve students’ academic performance and have a profound effect on the
learning that occurs in the classroom. He stressed that supervision is one of
the most critical functions of the principal.

David
(2009) stressed that a teacher who is committed to their duties demonstrate
zeal to work, punctuality to school, have full knowledge of the subject to
teach and getting lesson plan ready before teaching. He further stressed that a
committed teacher is always full of confident, stimulating and responsible and
willing to perform their duties diligently.

In
