Abstract.
This study was designed to examine principals’ performance of supervision of instructions in public secondary schools of Ebonyi State. To achieve the purpose of the study four specific objectives and one hypothesis were posed to verify the study. Data were collected from a sample of 604 out of 1640 teachers randomly selected by stratified technique across urban and rural schools under study. A structured questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean (x) scores, standard (SD) and t-test statistics. Results indicated that a significant positive difference exist between urban and rural teachers in principals’ performance of supervisory functions on classroom supervision of instruction, monitoring students’ achievement, provision and maintenance of instructional materials, and supporting continuous staff development. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that the school principals as an instructional leader should give internal supervision in order to improve curriculum implementation and reduce incidence of students’ involvement in examination malpractices.
