The needs assessment of internal supervision of teachers in the department sciences and mathematics of Khon Kaen University demonstration secondary school (Suksasat)

Abstract

The research procedures in the study of the needs assessment of internal supervision of secondary school teachers in the department sciences and mathematics of Khon Kaen University Demonstration School (Suksasat) consisted of three following steps: 1) to identify the concept to study the actual and desired model of internal supervision in six dimensions; including (i) internal supervision planning, (ii) direct support for teachers, (iii) group-working skill development, (iv) professional development, (v) curriculum development, and (vi) learning assessment and evaluation, 2) to investigate the actual and desired model of internal supervision of secondary school teachers in the department sciences and mathematics of Khon Kaen University Demonstration School (Suksasat) in all dimensions. The result showed that the overall actual internal supervision was in a high level (X=3.64, S.D. = 1.09) while the desired internal supervision was in a strongly high level (X=4.78). Therefore, the needs assessment of internal supervision of secondary school teachers of Khon Kaen University Demonstration School (Suksasat) in all dimensions. The results indicated that the participants need internal supervision with the between 0.29 and 0.34, and with the overall of 0.30. The was found at the highest (0.34) when the direct support for teachers was independently considered.
