The role of the educational supervisor in improving the performance of teachers of Principles of Philosophy and Psychology from their point of view

Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the role of the supervisor in improving the performance of teachers of "Principles of Philosophy and Psychology" regarding lesson planning, instructional implementation, classroom management, and assessment. The study population comprised all teachers of the subject in the city center of Al-Kut during the 2025–2026 academic year, totaling 246 teachers; the researcher employed a comprehensive enumeration method for the sample. To achieve this, a 53-item scale was developed, distributed across four domains—planning, implementation, classroom management, and assessment—using a five-point rating scale. Face validity was established through expert review (requiring an agreement rate of 80% or higher), and reliability was calculated using a pilot sample of 30 individuals, yielding a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.91. The instrument was administered between March 9 and April 12, 2026. The results indicated that the supervisor plays a significant role in improving performance across the scale as a whole and within its specific domains
