A influência da supervisão interna pedagógica no desempenho profissional do professor : caso da Escola Básica de Muhalaze (2018 - 2019)

Abstract

Internal pedagogical supervision holds vital importance in the process of monitoring the teacher's work, as well as for student-centred learning. This study is part of the dissertation required to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Education Organisation and Management, and aimed to understand the influence of internal pedagogical supervision on the professional performance of teachers at Muhalaze Basic School. The study followed a mixed research method (qualitative-quantitative), with a sample of 84 participants, including teachers from the 1 st and 2nd cycles of primary education and the 1 st cycle of secondary education at the school, through the application of semi-open questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, analysed using SPSS and content analysis techniques. Supervision occurs quarterly, with an emphasis on dialogue and reflection; however, there are criticisms regarding continuous support and supervisor involvement. The majority of supervisors are male (60%), aged between 30-35 years (80%), holding a bachelor's degree (100%), with 10-15 years of experience in education (40%). Supervision is considered necessary but in need of improvements, particularly in supporting less experienced teachers. The influence of internal supervision on professional performance is positive, especially in the preparation of lesson plans and assessments, as well as classroom simulations.
